Winging It In Motown, a Detroit Red Wings community

"Minnesota Wild owner Craig Leipold might have let the cat out of the bag during a radio interview. He told KFAN of Minneapolis that the Wild would be in the Central Division along with Winnipeg, Chicago, St. Louis, Nashville, Dallas and possibly Columbus" He does not even mention Detroit in this potential new Central Division. Who knows how much he is involved in the process or if he was simply throwing teams out there. The piece says Leipold's tone made it seem likely. I think this is a positive sign, but it can only be taken as basic rumor...but a good one for sure if, like me, you want the Wings in the East

The Detroit News ran a collection of paragraphs from NHL writers around North America about the Red Wings. Some pretty interesting stuff. I had a good chuckle at the obvious jealousy and sour grapes from the Columbus writer.
