Great! If only we could have his partner in crime back as well…

Gustav Nyquist another breakout product of patient Detroit Red Wings system | Post-to-Post
The article touches on Stephen Weiss and calls his contract an “unmitigated disaster”. What, is Holland supposed to be psychic too? It’s not like he, or the rest of us, could have known that Weiss would have had the injury problems that he’s had this season.

Luke Glendening cashes in with Red Wings, on and off ice | The Detroit News
Despite the Wings’ loss on Saturday, it was great to see Glendening finally score a goal in the NHL. He’s one goal and $4 million dollars better than Ville Leino!

Detroit Red Wings can draw off last season’s hot finish as they attempt to extend playoff streak | MLive.com

NHL player bleeds through his skate after getting hit by the puck | For The Win
