I've been casually viewing this site for awhile but until today I never felt the need to share my opinion.  Today, however, was different. My brother was diagnosed with leukemia while playing junior hockey in Saskatchewan earlier this year and he had a bone marrow transplant a couple months ago in Calgary (he's had to live there for the last several months due to the lack of facilities in Sask.). We have been die-hard Red Wings fans since we were really young and it's been a dream of ours to someday watch a game at the Joe but today he experienced the next best thing.  Mike Babcock gave him a call this morning and invited him to the Wings practice in Calgary and invited him to meet all of the Wings.  Every single Red Wing took the time to not only introduce themselves but genuinely get to know him.  He was encouraged by Dats and Zets to stick around for practice prep and to come back after practice for some autographs.  Ken Holland offered him tickets for tomorrow's game and Babs invited him back tomorrow to once again hang out with the Wings after their morning skate.  For a kid who's been through a lot in recent months, he was on cloud nine today. The Wings have always been my favorite team but today they turned it up a notch.  I was absolutely blown away by everything today and I think it's safe to say we all cheer for one of the classiest organizations in the NHL .

Hello fellow Red Wings fans.  Before the 2011-2012 NHL season started, I decided to register the domain freeredwings.tv and operate a site providing live streams of Detroit Red Wings games.  Yesterday, I received a cease and desist email from an NHL attorney ordering me to stop any and all unauthorized streaming of NHL copyrighted works.  With the recent arrest of a Comstock Park, MI man for copyright infringement, I have made the difficult and unfortunate decision to stop streaming NHL games.  I am expecting my first child in August and I cannot get arrested, especially over something like this.  I would like to thank the letsgowings community for always linking to the site in the GDT and being grateful and appreciative fans.  I hope you enjoyed what I was able to provide.  I would have loved to continue providing the service, but you can thank the NHL for ruining the party.

...best of luck to Shawn Burr in fighting this horrible disease.  It would be way too soon losing another Wing.  I just want the great Detroit fans to know we are thinking about Mr. Burr and praying for a speedy recovery.  God bless.

He even dives in shootouts!

Dave Strader (who many of us remember well) is covering the series for NBCSports.  He reports that after the morning skate today the Preds were using the ping pong tables outside the dressing rooms to relax.  Big Bert stepped out, told them that if they wanted to play ping-pong, they'd have to bring their own table; then he folded the table up and wheeled it into the Wings room.   CLASSIC!

Just taking a second here to thank Matt and the rest of the LGW staff for another great LGW.com season of Red Wings hockey. Cheers to you all for all the hard work that you do to keep this great site running!

Per Darren Dreger's Twitter:

"In an hour or so, the Detroit Red Wings will announce veteran asst coach Brad McCrimmon won't be back for a 4th year on the Wings bench."

 

I spoke with Hockeytown0001 and I am filling in for his usual fantastic GDT work for tonights game as he is helping with his Mom's father who could pass any day now. Best wishes to him and his family. I hope he's back posting his work soon.

 

Lets Go Wings.

[I know this isn't really a Yotes war thing either, but oh well.  I thought I would try to complement St Nick.]
