In Red Wings Land
Host of Red Wings to earn invitations to world hockey championships | Detroit News
Team Canada has invited forwards Anthony Mantha, Tyler Bertuzzi and Andreas Athanasiou to play in the tournament, this year to be held in Slovakia.
Athanasiou is slight a question mark, general manager Ken Holland said, because of nagging injuries from late in the regular season — but it’s likely Athanasiou will join Team Canada.
For Team USA, coached by Wings’ coach Jeff Blashill, forwards Dylan Larkin, Luke Glendening, defenseman Danny DeKeyser and goalie Jimmy Howard will get invitations.
I would like to see all of them play in the tournament. The extra experience can’t hurt.

That series against Anaheim sucked. Stupid Jean-Sebastien Giguere and his ginormous, massive pads seemed to stop literally everything. Mike Babcock was behind the bench for the Ducks at this time too. This was basically his audition for his future job with the Red Wings.
