EuroTrip Update

Wow. Really disappointed I've been so slow in posting again. If anyone's actually reading this, I promise I'll have some stuff up in the next couple days. Been busy with a couple things, so doing this has been the last thing on the list.

Also, I'd like to send a big shout-out to the boys over at Winging It In Motown. I've recently been added to their "blog-roll", and with that kind of honor comes great responsibility. Once Red Wings training camp begins, I will be making a concerted effort to get 2-3 Wings-centered posts up each week. I'll still keep this an open-forum blog, covering everything from my travels to all of the Detroit sports teams, but the Wings obviously hold a very special place in my heart. Very much looking forward to becoming a part of the Red Wings blogosphere.

Cheers, and see you in a couple days.

Opening Night

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...

Red Wings Three-Week Check-Up

By -
Well, kids, here we are.  Three weeks (that's it!?!) into the 2012- 2013 NHL season.  There have already been a number of highlight moments.  5 point nights from Thomas Vanek.  An incredible, acrobatic save-of-the-year-candidate save from Kari Lehtonen.  The return of a healthy Sidney Crosby, and the Houdini act, and not in a good way, of Alex Ovechkin. Through the first three weeks, the NHL's Central Division has proven that it will be a dogfight until the very end.  There are a lot - and I mean A LOT - of good teams in the Western Conference.  At this point, it seems very unlikely that 4 teams from the Central will make the playoffs.  Given that there are 5 teams in the division, and given that Columbus is a perennial dumpster fire, that means that one of Chicago, Detroit, Nashville, and St. Louis may finish the year on the outside looking in. The Red Wings have taken the "hard road" to third in the division.  Now, that may seem like an...
