Quick Hits: The Big Weekend Ahead Edition

Red Wings’ hot start leads them to Ottawa, where bad memories linger

Given what happened eight months ago, might the game on Saturday mean a little extra for Detroit?

Let’s start the hype for tomorrow’s game a day early. No game in October ends up being a big, make-or-break 60+ minutes of hockey…. But if a game WAS going to be that, at this point on the calendar, this would be it. Max sets the table wonderfully. Eat up, Wings fans.

Scout’s Analysis: Why prospect Macklin Celebrini starts the season ranked No. 1

Macklin Celebrini starts the season No. 1 in Sam Cosentino’s draft rankings. Our scout Jason Bukala explains what’s special about Celebrini’s game and why he could stay No. 1 all season.

Let’s go off the beaten path a little for this one. Don’t look at the rest of the league for about 48 hours, let the rest of your brain chill on the periphery of NHL hockey while your frontal lobe obsesses over the trip to Ottawa.

With that in mind… obviously the Wings have no clear path to landing Celebrini that doesn’t start with unabashed disaster befalling the team on multiple fronts both on the ice and off. But it’s still nice to read about an up-and-coming player not named Bedard.
