Mark Howe isn't the only one with Red Wings' ties headed to the Hall. Our very own Mickey Redmond will be honored as well. He's going to receive the Foster Hall Memorial Award for outstanding contributions as a hockey broadcaster. Bingo bango, Mick.
White out 1-2 Weeks, Smith Recalled, Bertuzzi placed on STIR " The Production Line - TP:60
I would just like to personally thank Ian White for preventing a goal with his face. It sucks that he will be out 1-2 weeks, but I'll be going to the game on the 23rd when I'm home from Boston and there is a smal chance I could possibly see Brendan Smith in the lineup. Will it happen? Probably not, but hey, a kid can dream, can't he?
Are the Red Wings the West’s hottest team again? | ProHockeyTalk
Yes, but the author thinks one of the league's best road teams of the last few years is going to struggle on the upcoming road trip (s/t JJ).
Red Wings reaping benefits of Valtteri Filppula's aggressive play on the wing | MLive.com
Filppula spent much of last season centering the third line. This year, he's been on a top-two line most of the time. (s/t JJ).
Mursak keeps improving | Red Wings Front
Come Christmas time, the Sak will be back. Colouring book fan Cory Emmerton or Fabian Brunnstrom will have to be sent down to Grand Rapids in order for this to happen. A smart bet would be Bruno. Look forward to having the speed of Mursak in the lineup once again.

After Lucic hit, Ryan Miller out indefinitely with concussion - Puck Daddy - NHL Blog - Yahoo! Sports
Lucic has a hearing with Brendan Shanahan today at 1p ET. (Humblebrag alert: the NESN score bar in the video...I operate that from the Garden for every Bruins home game)
DISCUSSION: Do you believe Lucic should be suspended for hitting Miller? Rule 69.4 says the goalie is not fair game if he ventures out of the crease, but incidental contact is permitted if the player attempts to avoid the goalie. Personally, I'm not sure it's suspension worthy. Maybe a game or two if Shanny wants to send a message that he wants to protect goalies. However, I'm positive that Lucic didn't attempt to avoid Miller. I believe he knew what he was doing the whole time. He knew no one on Buffalo was going to go after him and he knew that if someone did that an all out brawl of a game would play right into the Bruins style and favor them.
