Losing Streak? Red Wings 6, Kings 4
So the Kings have lost four in a row but it really doesn't feel like it. The previous four games have all been lost in different fashions; a shootout loss to the San Jose Sharks, an OT loss to the New York Rangers, a blowout against the Buffalo Sabres, and a regulation loss to the Detroit Red...

Stanley Cup Finals Preview
Well here we are yet again, the Stanley Cup finals. This year is a rematch between the Detroit Red Wings and the Pittsburgh Penguins, which should make little Gary Bettman sleep just a little more soundly. But regardless let’s get down to my predictions, but first lets break down the series....

The NHL announced its finalists for the Hart Trophy today. The Hart goes to the league's Most Valuable Player and the only thing we know is that a Russian born player will win it. Pittsburgh's Evgeni Malkin, Washington's Alex Ovechkin, and the Wings' own Pavel Datsyuk are the finalists for the...
Comparisons - Red Wings/Oilers Scouting Staff
This is Pavel Datsyuk. Along with being a first-line NHL centre, an elite player on a team that constantly wins, he was a 6th round pick in 1998. Those kinds of players aren't supposed to be found in the 6th round, but Detroit constantly unearths these guys. Zetterberg, Datsyuk, Franzen... the list...

NHL To Wings: No ASG? Enjoy Your Suspension!
