Red Wings Rumblings
It’s a somber day here in Red Wings land, after Detroit got their butts whooped by Carolina last night 4-0. I’d give you some analysis/recap of this game, but I think the score tells the story there. Detroit’s playoff chances dwindle with every day that passes, and it looks like they will miss out on postseason hockey yet again, barring a miraculous turnaround.
Meanwhile, a bunch of Detroit’s prospects are getting jumping into postseason hockey. Yesterday, Shai Buium and the University of Denver advanced to the quarterfinal with a 2-1 win over UMASS. Denver will play Cornell tomorrow at 4PM ET.
Michigan State University, which includes Trey Augustine, Red Savage play today against Western Michigan University. That is slated for a 5PM puck drop. Kienan Draper and the University of Michigan play North Dakota at 8:30PM.

The CHL playoffs are underway as well. A number of Wings prospects are suiting up, including Nate Danielson with the Portland Winterhawks. A lot to track, but we’ll do our best!

Yep, that’s former Red Wing Jiri Fischer’s son.
“The left-shot defenseman (6-foot-3, 173 pounds) has been doing that along with posting impressive numbers in his second season with Sarnia of the Ontario Hockey League. He has had great role models along his career path, and has processed that knowledge the best way possible.”
Ilitch pushes for varsity status for U of M Women’s Hockey
The support on social media is overwhelming. It would be nice to see the Ilitches put their money where their mouth is to make this happen. There’s no reason that Michigan, a great hockey state, shouldn’t have varsity-level NCAA women’s hockey.
