I’m going to briefly set the stage so when I revisit having written this post sometime in the future I’m immediately reminded of my frame of mind: The 2021-22 Red Wings came into their season with the only expectations being that we’d see how much they had improved since last season and how long the
The Detroit Red Wings special teams have endured yet another difficult season. Last year, many fans believed that the futility of the power play and penalty killing units could be blamed on assistant coach Dan Bylsma. As a result of poor performances, the Red Wings and Bylsma parted ways last summer. Alex Tanguay was brought
The Detroit Red Wings made a move to bolster their defensive depth on Sunday, claiming defenseman Olli Juolevi off of waivers. Drafted fifth overall in 2016, the Finnish defenseman was originally drafted by the Vancouver Canucks, and spent this season with the Florida Panthers. In 33 career games in the NHL, he has just three
The Detroit Red Wings and Columbus Blue Jackets are getting closer to full health, with some regulars expected back this week. St. Louis brought up two players from the minors to give their fourth line a jolt, and two veteran defensemen were put on waivers. Let’s take a look at all the latest roster and
The Detroit Red Wings were booed on home ice, deservedly so as not even a date at Little Caesars Arena against an opponent near the bottom of the standings ignited a good performance. Jakub Vrana’s season debut was lost in the ugliness that was Tuesday’s game against the Arizona Coyotes. Neither Alex Nedeljkovic nor Thomas
The Coyotes set up a charter flight, allowing Kessel to return to Phoenix for this important life event. — Elliotte Friedman (@FriedgeHNIC) March 9, 2022 The only cool thing from last night, unless we wake up to Yzerman having done something cooler. NHL suspends dealings with Kontinental Hockey League, tells its clubs to cease contact
All the optimism the Detroit Red Wings instilled in the rebuild this season is on a precipice as they try to recover from their latest embarrassment. Thursday night against the Minnesota Wild can’t come soon enough — anything to erase the memory of being booed off the ice at Little Caesars Arena. The answer to what went
The Red Wings hosted the Arizona Coyotes at LCA on Tuesday evening in what was anticipated to be an easy matchup after coming back from a rough Florida road trip. Proving this false, the Coyotes took home a whopping 9-2 victory over Detroit- here are some of the key takeaways. 1. Lots of roster adjustments
After an immensely disappointing loss to the Coyotes and a rather rocky season, what do things look like for head coach Jeff Blashill? When the second goaltender switch of the game happened, eyes turned to Blashill and his leadership behind the bench. This was the second time this season that he started a goalie, pulled
Detroit — There is a new candidate for the Red Wings’ worst game of the season. And it might be difficult to out-worse this one. The Wings were never really in it Tuesday as the Arizona Coyotes — occupying last place in the NHL overall standings heading into the game — handily defeated the Wings

Tuesday night was a big home game for the Detroit Red Wings. They got Jakub Vrana back and they were looking for a bounce-back from a brutal road trip in Florida. The Arizona Coyotes came into Little Caesars Arena and punched the Red Wings in the mouth right out of the game, and kept punching

As expected, veteran Danny DeKeyser went unclaimed and remains in the Detroit Red Wings’ organization. Placing him on waivers Monday, coinciding with DeKeyser’s 32nd birthday, was necessary because the Wings needed to open room on the 23-man roster to activate Jakub Vrana. He was cleared to play Tuesday, after being out since training camp with
