Hockey and internet question

Rate this topic

Recommended Posts

Is a hockey or Red Wings page your home page in your internet browser?

Mine is blank, but then I have like 12 Red Wings home pages that open up in tabs.

I am :crazy:

Twelve is kinda too many though so I'm in the process of trying them all out, see which ones I prefer. I'd like to get it down to maybe six or eight. Here are the links I'm trying right now.

Official - http://redwings.nhl.com/index.html - not objective enough, cluttered page

CBC - http://stats.cbc.ca/nhl/teamstats.asp?team...p;type=teamhome - nice clean page, lots of info

Freep - http://www.freep.com/apps/pbcs.dll/section?Category=SPORTS05 - not a big fan of the layout

DetNews - http://www.detnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/secti...gory=SPORTS0103 - OK, and I get updates in the A.M.

ESPN - http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/clubhouse?team=DET - good one nice layout, lots of info

MLive - http://www.mlive.com/redwings/ - local, and I find I get alot of info from it.

MyWay - http://sports.myway.com/nhl/teams/det/ - no graphic ads, not enough info

SI - http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/hockey/nhl/teams/red_wings/ - great photos, cluttered page, links to other sites for info

The Hockey News - http://stats.thehockeynews.com/hockeynews/...eamhome.cgi?Det - too sparse

Topix - http://www.topix.net/nhl/detroit-red-wings - info seems dated, and links to other sites.

TSN - http://tsn.ca/nhl/teams/?hubname=nhl-red_wings - another old standby, nice layout, good info

Yahoo - http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/teams/det - might be the best, AP stories, division standing at top and photos at bottom

So let me know what others I should be perusing. Or what you think about the ones I selected.

I rarely ever bother going to the Wings' official site. You're never going to get much info out of them. I dunno about that Topix thing, it doesn't look like you can get anything there that you can't get anywhere else. Same goes for the myway site. I'd ditch those three. Definitely keep the News and the Freep, they have dedicated writers for the Wings that will churn out plenty of good info.

DetNews and Freep are a given because they're the local papers. So yeah I will keep those for sure. Spector is too much about the NHL and trade rumors. The Fox site looks good too. I really like the the two-week calendar up at the top, but I doubt I will go back since it's powered by MSN. I refuse to support Microsoft in any way.

I added one more site, that isn't listed in this thread. http://www.sportsline.com/nhl/teams/page/DET

Also added Red Wings Central.

I check them daily but don't open them all in tabs at once. It just takes too long.

Anyway does anybody know of a site that compares a team's stats to another team's stats?

try nhl.com's stat machine

Yup, Center Ice.....it's a godsend. I watch every game (at least, every game that I'm home for.) No more circling national TV dates on the calendar.

Whatcom County sucks by the way :P lol....kidding. Mostly. I'm just bitter about the time it took me 2 and a half hours to drive between the BC border and the Skagit County border because Whatcom was the only county that didn't plow or salt I-5. Scary trip :crazy: but it's actually a beautiful county in the daylight and on dry roads.
