How would YOU want us to cover the Olympics?

by Casey Richey on Feb 15, 2010 11:15 AM CST in Opinion

With no Wings games until March 1st, we're going to have very little "new" stuff to post on the team. However, since the Olympic hockey starts soon, we could very easily just do posts about the guys playing in Vancouver.

Pretty much, we're going to run some feature stories over the break but we also want to interact with you guys on the Olympic level as well. So I ask you, how do you want things to be done and how likely are you to join us during the Olympic Break for some of the things below:

Game threads-for the big games (Canada vs. USA, etc.) and for any games involving a Red Wing
Game recaps for each game involving Detroit players, focusing mainly on their involvement
Stat tracking for all Red Wings players involved
Daily summary (to be posted morning after games) of the previous night's games
A daily highlight of one Olympian and his time in Detroit and international career.
Nothing.

Pick and choose from the above and comment below. OR, if you have some other suggestions, feel free to toss 'em out so we can get some things going before the games begin tomorrow.

Personally, I would love a daily post regarding hockey in the olympics. Just saying who beat who and so on. Then have a stat section in each game that has Wings in it. I would really love to just check here for news on the Olympic hockey as opposed to another site.

Should have mentioned that you don’t need to do any detailed writing or anything like that if you do it the way I suggested. Just write “Sweden defeats Slovakia 4-2. Lidstrom: 1A Franzen 2G” or something to that effect.

I like that idea

Just a quick bullet-point list even of the scores.

I’d like recaps of games with Wings in them, because I won’t be able to follow the games that go on during the day very well.

I would like:

>Game recaps for each game involving Detroit players, focusing mainly on their involvement (including Griffns)

> “daily post regarding hockey in the olympics”,

Does anyone know of a site that will have game replays showing outstanding plays like the NHL does for their games?

Does anyone

Only nbcolympics.com, which requires silverlight, often doesn’t work right, and has much lower quality replays (not video quality), often only showing goals scored.

Game threads would be cool…I’d be around for the games that are in primetime. Not so much the ones that are on at 3 in the afternoon, but the later ones, definitely. And a daily recap would be nice, a quick write up about the day before. It’s pretty cool you guys are still willing to do write ups and stuff, I would have thought the break would be nice for you writers too.

I’d read the game recaps focused on the involved Wings, Stat Tracking, and the Daily Summary idea. Also, try and throw in links to highlights if any Red Wings score or something cool happens.
