Modano the New Larionov? - THN reported that Mike Modano would fit in Detroit like spandex for...a person who actually looks good in spandex. But what would that signing mean for guys like Darren Helm and Justin Abdelkader? You tell us.

Modano Looks Good as a Red Wing - Joe Burkel does some funny photo shopping to give us a preview of what the culmination of Mo2Motown could very well look like. PS...Modano is married to Willa Ford.

Reflections on former Red Wings enforcer Bob Probert's passing - George Malik of Snapshots takes a look around the league to get what everyone in the hockey world had to say about one of the toughes guys to ever wear the winged-wheel...RIP Probey.

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly Part 2 - Kris from Snipe Snipe, Dangle Dangle continues down her look at - you guessed it - the good, bad, and ugly parts of the 2009-2010 campaign for Detroit.

Holland Close to Signing a Few Restricted Free Agents - Sean Yuille of SBN Detroit reported on Tick Tock's dealing with Drew Miller, Patrick Eaves, and Derek Meech. Apparently, we were closer to signing Drew Miller than some had thought...he got a one year deal later today.

Justin Abdelkader

I hope it means nothing for him being that we are from the same town, I think Justin has a breakout year maybe he get’s a shift w/ Mike. RIP Probert damn sure will be missed, 4 ever engraved here at Hockey Town.

Helm and Abdelkader

Modano signing should mean nothing for them. Here’s the bottom line, as I’m sure most of you know: They can’t go back to GR. They’ve got to play. So, what that means for them is probably a whole lot of “Nothing”. What it means for Eaves and Miller and Meech, though, is another story. Personally, I would love to see Drapes ride the pine as the 13th forward and see our 4th line consist of Eaves-Helm-Abs. They need to play, as they are the future of this team and organization. Eaves and Miller, face it, are not. Will that happen? Unlikely. But a fan can dream, right?
