No Fantasy Love for Wings- Do you think there are 8 defensemen in the league that are better fantasy options than Nicklas Lidstrom?  Yahoo! does.  Do you think there are 15 defensemen worth more in fantasy leagues than Nicky Lid?  ESPN thinks so.  These, and a few other snubs are examined in Yahoo! and ESPN's pre-season NHL fantasy rankings for the Detroit Red Wings and the rest of the NHL.

Untitled- Natalie from The Scrappy Octopus makes her triumphant return to the blogosphere after a near 3-month hiatus.  She discusses pretty much all the key points in the Red Wings universe during TSO's extended break.

Red Wings Blogger Roundtable- Once again, it's Deke Day at the Red Wings Blogger Roundtable as the boy's at The Triple Deke get their chance to host.  The three questions posed are 1.) Who would occupy the four spots on the bizarro Red Wings Mount Puckmore?  2.) Who will be the biggest surprise/disappointment for the season?  Are the Red Wings #1 in the NHL right now?

Part Two: It All Comes Down to The Threesome- Rob over at The Production Line breaks down the depth part of our roster, from the third and fourth lines, to our fifth and sixth defensemen.  Of course, the usual crassness and crude humor is used - and we dig it.
