Moonshine: An Introduction

By -
Since I really don't know what to do for my first post on this blog, I'd like to formally welcome all readers to the Datsyuk and Friends blog. The idea for this blog was conceived by both Adam and myself. We wanted to create a blog that would be more of a group blog than an individual one, having posts from many contributors. Think of it as the perfect blog for schizophrenics. One blog, many voices.

Though I think this primarily will be Adam's blog for now, I will be making my own occasional contributions to it in small segments that I've decided to put under the banner name "Moonshine." These short blogs will be exclusive to Datsyuk and Friends and cannot be read anywhere else.

So please, enjoy what we are hoping will eventually become a blog that is greater than the sum of all its parts. And remember, Datsyuk's got friends in loooooow places. Where the Red Wings drown and Yzerman chases the Blues away.

Red Wings Three-Week Check-Up

The Red Wings have taken the "hard road" to third in the division.  Now, that may seem like an outlandish statement, giv

Opening Night

Firsts. They all mean something special. First steps. First words. First kisses. First cars. To every individual, the meaning of firsts is different. For the players in the NHL, the first game could mean anything. The first game overseas. First game back in a homeland in so many years. First shot to make an impression in the NHL. Tonight, the Detroit Red Wings will embark on their 2011-2012 journey. It will be the first of 82 games. There are quite a few firsts for this team, despite its very veteran status. The first game behind the Hockeytown benches for both Jeff Blashill and Bill Peters. First game in red and white for new Wings Fabian Brunnstrom and Ian White. The first game of the (possibly) last season for one of the best defensemen of all-time. First year no members of the Grind Line will suit up. First year without the Wizard of Os(good). As stupid as it is, the first game with numbers on the front of the helmets. The first game after a disappointing end to l
