RED WINGS RUMORS & GOSSIP
Valtteri Filppula scores fantastic goal to seal game against Blackhawks
Detroit Red Wings forward Valtteri Filppula has had an up-and-down season this year, but this phenomenal goal showed off just how good he can be. Henrik Zetterberg dropped the puck off to him at the blue line and rather than Filppula overpass as he has done so often, he pulled the puck to his backhand and drove to the net. As he was going down he fired a backhand shot between...
Johan Franzen’s Goal Gives Detroit Red Wings Two-Goal Lead vs. Chicago: Video
The Detroit Red Wings pulled away from the Chicago Blackhawks on Saturday afternoon, thanks in no small part to Johan Franzen’s sharp-shooter goal seven minutes into the third period.
Franzen took a long stretch pass from Jonathan Ericsson at the Chicago blue line, broke down the right side and snapped a shot top shelf over the left shoulder of Blackhawks goalie Corey Crawford...
Johan Franzen fires ridiculous shot past Corey Crawford
In the third period with a 2-1 lead, Detroit Red Wings defenseman Jonathan Ericsson made an amazing pass, identifying Franzen sneaking behind the Chicago Blackhawks defenseman. He put the pass right on Franzen’s tape and the Mule walked in and fired a gorgeous shot short-side high glove. Crawford was playing aggressive to cut down the angle because he knew Franzen has a phenomenal...
Detroit Red Wings | Wings “Rebuilding On The Fly” To Adapt In Today’s NHL
May 18, 2013
DETROIT, Michigan ---
Gone are the days of dynasties. Gone are the days of luring high profile free agents to join your club or team. This, is the new NHL.
The Detroit Red Wings have gone through more change this season than this generation of Wings fans has ever seen. With the retirement of defenseman Nick Lidstrom last summer, the final piece from the dynasty...
Babcock has seen, so he believes in Wings

Although the Blackhawks proved to be the best team during the regular season and dominated Game 1, Babcock still believes in his team.

Wings' Smith looks for redemption in Game 2
DETROIT Brendan Smith heard about all that criticism of him following the Detroit Red Wings series-opening loss to the Chicago Blackhawks.
Nobody took more heat from analysts, sports-talk hosts and fans than the 24-year-old rookie defenseman.
A few buddies told me it was all over Twitter, Smith said following Fridays practice at Joe Louis Arena. It doesnt really faze me very much...

NHL Playoffs: Redwings vs Blackhawks Game 2 Preview
In the all important game 2, the Red Wings will look to even up the series against their hated rivals the Chicago Blackhawks.
After watching game one of the conference semifinals series between the Detroit Red Wings and the Chicago Blackhawks, I have realized two things: 1. The Chicago Blackhawks is probably the most complete team in the NHL. 2. There is way too many Blackhawks...
In Defense of... Howard?
Of all the players from last night’s failure that could be talked about in a non-positive light, I would think that Howard would not be one of them. I would be wrong, though. Sure there are some fans out there who don’t really know any better. They see the other team score and want to blame the last guy to screw up, meaning the goalie. But I didn’t expect to see a report on...
Red Wings drop Game 1: Reason for panic in Detroit?
The Detroit Red Wings played a grueling series against the Ducks of Anaheim in the playoffs’ first round, and it showed Wednesday night against the Chicago Blackhawks.
In the first game of the second round, the Red Wings looked outmatched, getting outshot by a whopping margin of 42-21. Detroit was able to battle and take a 1-1 tie into the third period, but it was then that the...
Weird sex sound over the mic on the Red Wings/Blackhawks game (VIDEO)
At the 12:15 point in the second period of Game 1 in the Red Wings/Blackhawks series, those paying attention (perhaps too much attention) heard a rather disturbing sound as play-by-play man Doc Emrick was taking us to the commercial.
Somebody was elated to be headed toward the commercial apparently and couldn’t contain himself. Was Emrick excited to give his voice a rest? Did...
Babcock: 'Zero' chance Datsyuk will leave
Red Wings coach Mike Babcock tried to limit the speculation on star center Pavel Datsyuk's future, when Babcock told reporters in Chicago on Wednesday that there's "zero" chance the magic man will leave Detroit and return home to play in Russia.
Datsyuk has one year remaining on a seven-year, 46.9 million contract. He could be an unrestricted free agent during...

No Matter the Result of this Year’s Playoffs, the Red Wings Must rebuild in 2013/14
I am a hockey outsider. I have never set foot inside a rink to play a game. I have only ever been on ice skates twice. Most of you may use these facts to discredit me, however I believe this gives me a clearer perspective on the subject. I am not wearing red and white glasses. I am willing to force feed you the medicine that you must take as a fan base, after all you need it so very...
Khan: Red Wings may have Drew Miller’s services for 2nd round but Darren Helm remains out
According to MLive's Ansar Khan, the Red Wings may have another third-or-fourth-line option in Drew Miller, who believes that he'll be healthy enough to return to playing sometime during the Wings-Hawks series after suffering a broken right hand heading into the final week of April...
“I don’t have a timetable yet; I need to talk to the hand specialist and see how...

YOU TALKING TO ME?
Getzlaf, Bertuzzi get into it on bench
Perhaps their discussing which ride at Disneyland they’ll go on first since Henrik Zetterberg sent this series to a Game 7 back in Anaheim… I doubt it. In fact I don’t think Betuzzi and Getlaf will be trading phone numbers anytime soon after this spirited chat midway through the third period in Game 6.
