What’s The Grind Line? Apart from the once-famous line of Kris Draper, Kirk Maltby, and either Joe Kocur or Darren McCarty, The Grind Line is also The Hockey Writers’ weekly column about the Detroit Red Wings.

You can’t bat a thousand. Whether you’re Peter Chiarelli or Canadiens legend Sam Pollock, there’s no way you can ensure a guaranteed win with every deal. The same goes for Red Wings general manager Steve Yzerman. In his two seasons in Hockeytown, he’s made 25 trades — 17 if you don’t count moving up or

Detroit — A new hockey season brings a new chance to wipe away the frustrations or disappointments of the previous campaign. In about a month, every NHL team will have that opportunity to forget whatever happened during the last pandemic-shortened season (or two such seasons, actually). The Red Wings are no different. Although last season was a
2021-22 NHL Season Preview: Detroit Red Wings – SI Nothing we haven’t heard before: Leddy as a veteran for Seider, “decent goaltending” (although Kennedy is “worried” about Nedeljkovic’s size and he called Dylan Larkin a pretty good number one center). There’s some advice on the right way to be a Red Wings fan from Matt
It might not be the regular season quite yet, but the Detroit Red Wings prospect tournament starts this week, giving fans some Red Wings related hockey for the first time since May. It’s not the thaw to what is usually a much longer layoff, but it’s better because at least it’s a glimpse of the
