The Detroit Red Wings have re-signed veteran defenceman, Darren McCarty, with a one-year contract extension.
I’m happy to hear this because I came to like McCarty while he was playing with the Calgary Flames. I know he’s had some personal struggles and kinda disappeared for a bit but last season with the Wings seemed to […]

Johnson slammed his foot between the accelerator and brake petal while trying to stop the cart, and started feeling pain in his right knee. Regardless of the pain, he continued with his golf game, only to notice the swollen […]

Come on, now. You knew Chris Chelios couldn’t resist coming back for more. This is going to be his 25th NHL season. Why not go out on a nice, round number?
The 46-year-old veteran defenceman will be dressing for the Detroit Red Wings - again - and I’m sure he’s hoping to cap the year […]

I really hope we don’t see more like this situation with Alexander Radulov and the Nashville Predators. During the off-season he says he let the Preds know that he wanted to go and play in the Russian league (he actually signed a one-year deal with UFA of the Russian super league KHL) even though […]

Wings GM, Ken Holland, had some nice things to say about the forward: “We love everything about him because he’s a complete player with great character, and we think he can get even better. He plays hard, he plays […]

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Chicago Blackhawks have named Jonathan Toews their captain for the upcoming season. This would make the centre (who just finished his rookie season) the third-younges player to ever be named the leader of an NHL team! The two other baby cap’ns have been Sidney Crosby (Pittsburgh) and Vincent Lecavalier (Tampa Bay).
”Jonathan deserves […]

Kristian Huselius has traded one “c” for another - he’s gone from Calgary to Columbus. I think this is a good thing for Juice who, for whatever reason, seems to lose his edge and ability to play right around the time his team needs him the most. For these past few seasons with the […]

The Chicago Blackhawks finished the season in 20th place with 88 points and just barely missed making it into the Stanley Cup Playoffs. It was a good year for the team, regardless, and I thought rookie, Patrick Kane, and goaltender, Nikolai Khabibulin, made a real difference! I hope this season just makes them even more […]
