    1/4 GDT: Red Wings 5 at Oilers 3

    I know, that's messed up.

    Lidstrom 3rd star of the month in the NHL

    ..he's not Canadian.

    1/1 GDT: 2011 Winter Classic

    I guess the Penguins will have to wait until next year to win the Winter Classic on home ice...

    12/31 GDT: Islanders 4 at Red Wings 3 OT)

    Every team's proclaimed starter gets more leeway when it comes to working through a rough stretch. In spite of what people here think, in Babcock's mind Howard is the starting goalie for the Wings and it'll take a massive meltdown for that to change and so far that hasn't happened. While I agree that Osgood could play more often, there is not going to be a 50-50 rotation.

    Eaves day-to-day with "Upper Body Injury"

    He sprained his shoulders from celebrating too much last game? It'll be interesting to watch Tatar play.

    Sutter steps down as Flames GM

    Not surprising. When is the coaching change?

    12/19 GDT: Stars 4 at Red Wings 3 (OT)

    While I wasn't too impressed with Rafalski's bad pass as he was not pressured at all, he didn't trip anybody. That was all Franzen, refs called the wrong player.

    Osgood interviewing Lidstrom

    Best line I ever saw play.

    Pronger Has Surgery To Repair Broken Foot

    No, he's got plenty of sportsmanship. It's just not of the kind you're trying to teach your kids.Love him or hate him, Pronger is a gamer.

    Possible Winter Classic @ Comerica Park

    Agreed. The Winter Classic is going to turn into a joke if the NHL is not careful about the team selection. It is to early for the Wings to be in it again while the Rangers haven't played in one yet.

    San Jose/Detroit game discussion

    In Howard's defense, Heatley's goal was a double tip but I agree that he didn't have a strong game.

    ESPN: J-Ho no sophmore slump

    I realize everybody is clamouring for a sub 2.00 GAA and a .935 SV percentage but numbers like that are becoming rare over the course of a full season. Ultimately, all that matters are wins and as of right now Howard's wins per games started is 77.84 percent while Price sits at 60.90 percent. Talk up Carey Price all you want, I'm content with Howard so far.

    Stanley Cup Droughts

    When the league expanded from 6 to 12 teams, the original 6 were playing in the East division and the expansion teams were playing in the West division. Scotty Bowman was coaching the Blues, leading them to 3 straight division titles.

    Crosby looking lethal

    My son has had both the original "O" stick (Datsyuk's his favourite) and the 8.0.8. He hasn't had issues with either. Datsyuk's, possibly. Zetterberg uses Easton gear.

    11/6 GDT: Red Wings 4 at Canucks 6

    Maybe it's that Swedish concept of neutrality that's messing with his head.

    Daniel Briere: Suspended Three Games

    Nielsen most likely just responded to something Briere said. Problem is, in most cases, players don't injure each other on purpose. You'd have to prove a deliberate intent to injure.

    Great Players with Forgetful Stints

    Brett Hull - Coyotes Super floater started out in Calgary...Cam Neely in Vancouver.

    Lilja: Red Wings only team to offer contract

    Very different scenarios. You don't think a guy who's been making up to 8 million a year has a bit more financial leeway to take a discount than a guy who topped out at less than a quarter of that.

    Lilja: Red Wings only team to offer contract

    I went to see the Wings in Atlanta and saw a guy sporting a Krupp jersey.

    The Worlds

    Congrats to the Germans! In any sport, it's always nice to see "underdogs" shake up things by beating traditionally stronger nations. The hockey World Championship has been largely a 5-6 nation affair for a very long time.

    Eklund's top40 UFA's and possible teams

    That's been the issue all along IMO. While Lidstrom is slowing down, he is still vastly superior to Rafalski defensively.

    The Worlds

    Denmark makes the quarterfinals for the 1st time ever. Very exciting!

    Babcock: Improvement to come from within

    Him, Shanahan and Yzerman deferred salary. They all got their money later on.

    2010 IIHF World Championship

    Denmark has 2 NHL'ers on the roster. I believe both USA and Finland have more.
