Quick Hits: Back to Work

Hockeytown, No Limits

Wings seek remedy for road woes | Red Wings Front
It’s back to work for the Red Wings. The first item on the docket is fixing the road troubles.

Red Wings coach Mike Babcock speaks volumes quietly | The Detroit News | detroitnews.com
It bothers me a little bit that Babcock has never won the Jack Adams. Sometimes it’s a whole hell of a lot harder to coach a talented team with big expectations than to turn a team around from one of the worst to a middle of the pack playoff team. Although, I’m sure Babcock could care less and would rather have a Cup than an Adams.

Slumping Red Wings’ Henrik Zetterberg plans to ‘just work hard’ | Detroit Free Press | freep.com
We touched on this topic on the podcast. Hank’s numbers sure are down, but he’s doing other things very well and his line mates are producing and career rates.

KuklasKorner : The Malik Report : Red Wings travel day news: Wings hope to right rough-and-tumble road record out West
Malik with a nice gathering of news and notes to gear us up for the return of regular season hockey.

Five Deals That SHOULD Be Made Before The Deadline | Hockey Independent
Every deal but number two includes a player I wish the Wings would go after.

Assessing Erik Karlsson’s Norris Trophy hopes | ProHockeyTalk
If he keeps putting up the points like he is, I imagine he will be considered for the Norris. At the end of the day though, it’s still a three man race between Nicklas Lidstrom, Zdeno Chara, and Shea Weber (And it’s probably Weber’s to lose).

Despite the suitors, perhaps the Nashville Predators will hang onto Ryan Suter | Puck Daddy – Yahoo! Sports
Kenny Holland is just waiting to pounce and sign this kid. Do it, Kenny. Make him a Wing.

Tim Gleason Signs Four-Year, $16 Million Extension With Carolina Hurricanes – Canes Country
The most talked about name on the blue line that was expected to be traded is now (most likely) off the market.

Don’t forget to check out the lastest episode of WIIM Radio featuring Tyler from the The Triple Deke and The Production Line’s Michael Petrella. We recap All-Star weekend and the WIIM/TPL Challenge, look at the week ahead for the Red Wings, and dicuss Zetterberg’s struggles this season. We also play a fun game of FMK Full House style. You can check us out on iTunes and download the podcast to your iPod or iPhone. You can also download the episode here.

Let’s Go Red Wings.
