FORUM UPDATE: Backup Restored, Upgrading

Posted by Matt Schwartz  //  06:48PM - Friday, March 05, 2010

As many have noticed the LGW.com Forums have been offline since the early morning hours of March 4th due to a hacker attack. Since yesterday my host has been diligently working to restore a backup. (One that included backing up roughly 1.13 million posts.) This update is to let you know that he has restored a FULL backup -- not the one dating back to early February, as initially feared. The Forums are also getting updated to the latest version, and will look vastly different. Due to the haste... More ›

Red Wings lose Zetterberg to 'upper body' injury

Posted by Matt Schwartz  //  11:28PM - Thursday, December 17, 2009

The injury list has reached absurd levels: In addition to adding Jonathan Ericsson and Darren Helm to the list of wounded, the Red Wings have lost superstar forward Henrik Zetterberg to what is being described as an 'upper-body injury'. Zetterberg was checked hard -- and clean -- by Tampa Bay's Mattias Ohlund late in the first period Thursday night. Initially feared to be a concussion, reports seem to be focusing on Zetterberg's left shoulder. TSN's Bob McKenzie stated this evening that the team... More ›

Posted by Matt Schwartz  //  12:35AM - Friday, December 11, 2009

Kronwall to miss at least a month with knee sprain

Posted by Matt Schwartz  //  03:29PM - Sunday, November 22, 2009

It could have been worse. Defenseman Niklas Kronwall will miss at least the next four weeks -- up to a potential of eight -- with what the team is calling a significant sprain of his medial collateral ligament, "somewhere between a Grade 2 and Grade 3," Wings GM Ken Holland told the Detroit News. Kronwall was injured during an intentional knee-on-knee hit by the Canadiens' George Laraque midway through the first period Saturday night. More ›
