Quick Hits: 8/17

Grind- Today I decided to honor those un-sung heroes willing to go into the corners, in front of the net, crash and bang and do whatever it takes to get the puck - and then get it to someone who can actually score.  Today at NOHS we salute a historical Red Wings line and one who's certainly starting to make his mark.

Mount Puckmore: The four faces of the Detroit Red Wings- It was the Detroit Red Wings' turn to have four franchise faces immortalized on a mountainside.  George Malik of Snapshots/Kuklas Korner was awarded the honor of selectiing our foursome.  And I think there are few arguments that can be made against his choices.  It's hard tp only pick four out of so many hockey legends.

The Greatest Wings of MY Time - #4- Graham from The Hole in the Door has now moved into the top five of his countdown of greatest Wings (in his oppinion) over his lifetime of 30+ years.  Today's entry features a man who used to have his own "irish jig" ring through the halls of Joe Louis Arena every time he popped the biscuit in the basket.

Red Wings prospect/Ottawa 67's goaltender Petr Mrazek, an 'import draft' success story- George Malik of Snapshots (who will also be hosting the Red Wings Roundtable later today discusses Detroit's 5th round draft choice from this year - Petr Mrazek from the Czech Republic.  Georgie-boy will be getting to evaluate the young netminder even closer in a few week as both will be in Traverse City for camp (with much different roles, obviously).
