The Detroit Red Wings finally seem to be heading out of an arduous rebuild, propelled by the team’s last two first-round draft picks. Moritz Seider and Lucas Raymond look like stars, but a lack of scoring depth and weakness down the middle are holding back the team. In this year’s NHL Draft, will the organization
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. This week Devin Little, Patrick Brown, Kyle Knopp, and Brian Oldani are the muckers who make up THW’s forechecking
Detroit — As the NHL season progresses, games get tighter, more physical, and often chippy. It becomes tough to play, and experienced teams with the right mindset have the advantage. The Red Wings didn’t match the Boston Bruins’ physicality in a 5-1 loss Sunday, and it’s not something they want to repeat the rest of the season. “The
Red Wings defenseman Nick Leddy chats family, fishing, dogs and more in an all-new episode of Coffee with Carley, presented by Tim Hortons
The new year is the perfect time to reassess where you’re at, where you want to be, and what you’ll do to get there. Sure, it’s cliché in that everyone does it — but what’s the harm in that? We can learn a lot from where we’ve been and setting goals on where we want
Happy New Year’s Detroit Red Wings fans! They’ve uncharacteristically propelled themselves into playoff talks to begin this season. After breaking their 25-year playoff streak, the Red Wings have found themselves out of the playoff race come the new year ever since. Since making the playoffs in 2015-16, their record at the New Year hasn’t been
The highlights from Larkin and Blashill: Larkin “Didn’t execute, didn’t come up with shots”“Forced it” (instead of moving it around the outside)“Stay focused, stay positive” (instead of focusing on the “negative energy”) I’m torn on the “force it” narrative because I don’t want them skating into the teeth of the defense just to prove they
A power play is an opportunity to punish a foe for a transgression, but the only ones feeling remorse are the Detroit Red Wings themselves. They begin the first week of a new year humbled by two losses at home, welcoming 2022 with a 5-1 loss to the Boston Bruins two days after ringing out 2021
One of the biggest storylines of the season for the Detroit Red Wings has been the improved offensive output. Whereas last year’s team relied on fantastic goaltending, capable defense and low-risk offense, this year, the script has seemingly flipped. The defense has been porous and the offense has been surprisingly effective, especially at the top
Detroit — There was one area Sunday which failed the Red Wings miserably. The Wings’ power play didn’t score in four attempts, not even close. It was a huge factor in the 5-1 loss to the Boston Bruins. Any sort of positive momentum would have been helpful. But the Wings never were able to generate opportunities
The last two games for the Detroit Red Wings have not looked good. Peruse Red Wings Twitter after the Red Wings 5-1 loss to Boston Sunday afternoon and there’s a lot of agreement that head coach Jeff Blashill has taken them as far as he can. True or False? The majority of these observations look
Detroit — If this was a measuring stick for the Red Wings, playing two consecutive Stanley Cup-caliber opponents, then they learned something this weekend. The Wings, though improved, still have a ways to go before competing teams such as the Washington Capitals and Boston Bruins. The Wings hung with Washington until the final minutes but suffered a
