You just have to love Mike & Marian Illitch. Even though the owners (including the Illitch's) were a large part of this $#!@#$%# lockout, this is better than what most fan bases get from their...

I had a feeling - having watched Twitter pretty closely last week - that this stupid, candy ass, money grab, egomaniacal, lockout would get settled. So, even though I'm sick and not feeling the...

Ok, don't start - I'm not calling anyone here stupid. It's an old reference, I think back to Bill Clinton - it was "it's the economy stupid." Anyway - my point here is, that most of these same...

I don't care what it takes, I don't care how much $$, I don't care how much control he asks for. Clark, Mr. Hunt, sir - this is the man we need. No counter-offer necessary, no negotiations...

This is probably way too much analysis of the standings for one day I know - but it's an off day, what else is there to do??? I know it's not likely given their overall record, but the Blues and...

Uh oh - can't say I saw this coming, but Sid the Kid is out again, with concussion symptoms - wow. I hope for the sake of the League and hockey in general that he gets better and plays a long...

I know we're all about the hockey here at WIIM, but we all lost a great visionary and a great leader yesterday. Just think for a few minutes about how differently you view things involved with...

I'll admit that I wasn't watching the preseason games all that closely, so I'm looking for input and opinion here as much as anything. The last game against Pittsburgh, I noticed that our new...

If you're like me (huge Wings fan), then you're wondering - "where can i watch my Red Wings on TV during the pre-season?"   BTW, the condition we suffer from is aka - "Red Wings hockey is a drug....

I figured we may as well start this now, and either give the Editors some new ideas or (as a result of what we all hate) make them stay away from drawing some of the parallels during the season... F...

I'm sure I knew some of these pieces previously, but I hadn't really put them all together until today when I read this Yahoo - Wyshinski piece about the Brendan Shanahan RFA signing by the St....

He hasn't signed with the Kings and today ESPN speculates that the Wings might be a team interested in signing Drew Doughty.  Of course, that would mean that Ken Holland would have to do what he...

First off, I'm not a hockey player, so I can't admit to having any of these biases going on - (I do have somewhat similar ideas on my golf clubs mind you, but that's another post for another time)....

Hate on me if you will (and I know there is some of that out there), but after reading a few stories today on the backup goalie situation for the Red Wings, I've got to admit it to myself (and...

Ok, so let's face it, if Mike (I used to be Bozo the Clown) Commodore really does take #64 for the Wings and becomes the updated Commodore 64 - what will the "lines" be???? Just a few that pop...

Some items on the wire just make your day....like when you click on the computer and see that the once bang-in-the-corners forward for the Wings, Tomas Kopecky, has been traded to the equivalent of...

Has anyone heard anything at all about the new assistants that Babcock/Holland are looking for? It would seem to me that those are almost as important as the UFA players we might get (maybe not...

Here's a Puck Daddy link to the schedule for the Stanley Cup Finals h...

I know this is just a repost of what is available on Yahoo - but I thought it was awesome and thought everyone here might like a look...the house is in Livonia, on Farmington Rd h...

Sorry for this, but stick a fork in the Wings, I believe that we're done.  I'm all for the 4 games in a row comeback, and I'll be watching on Friday the same as the rest of us - right now, I'm...

I updated the other post as well - but thought I would start a new post too. Here's an interesting tidbit from John Ourand of Sports Business Journal on the ESPN bid to the NHL and just how far...

Ugh - check out the link.... http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/blog/puck_daddy/post/NBC-Versus-win-NHL-TV-rights-in-war-vs-ESPN-s;_ylt=ArD87e_8l9AwgAYHelyG.3N7vLYF?urn=nhl-wp2944  10 more years of NBC...

I thought this might be an interesting look after a nice Game 1 win.  This was posted on the Five For Howling site, and I figured, what the heck, let's all get the chance to comment here on WIIM. ...

I'm not sure I want to go there just yet - but it's an interesting look at each of the Wings players' seasons by quarter.  He didn't post an overall grade for anyone, just a quarter-by-quarter...

Found this on NHL.com - obviously, we're not sure which announcing teams we'll get from the Versus guys, but after yesterday, here's hoping there's no Doc Emrick (Foisted, Knifed, Spiked,...

Much as I really don't like Ed Olycyk as an announcer - I will admit that I'm beginning to side with him on the hit the man, don't play the puck thing.  Separate the man from the puck, ok, but...

TJ Oshie is not making the trip to Detroit tomorrow....seems the boy either "overslept", had a nasty headache/hangover, or just flat out blew off practice the other day... h...

Any predictions on games today & tomorrow?? Today: Florida / BYUWisconsin / Butler San Diego State / Connecticut Duke / Arizona   Tomorrow: Kansas / Richmond North Carollina / Marquette O...

So, if wins without a shootout matter when two teams are tied on points - how are we supposed to tell who's really ahead?  So far - I haven't seen the stat listed anywhere in anyone's Standings. ...
