Game #61 – Hawks vs. Red Wings Spotlight: It’s Hard To Leave When You Can’t Find The Door

Sam Fels February 20, 2019 0

It almost seems to perfect. You wonder if Ken Holland even sees it coming. He has to, right? Maybe it was always the plan (not a process). But Steve Yzerman resigned as GM of the Lightning, right before the Wings rebuild is supposed to pivot. They’ll likely have yet another top-five pick to play with. […]

Game #61 – Hawks vs. Red Wings Q&A: It’s Still Kyle

Sam Fels February 20, 2019 0

Kyle has been the editor over at WingingItInMotown.com as long as we’ve been doing this, which means he hasn’t gotten any more of a life than we have. And we thank him for that. Follow him on Twitter @KyleWIIM. Anyway, this is the Q&A we did with him like, last week when the Wings were […]

Game #61 – Hawks vs. Red Wings Douchebag Du Jour: This Used To Be My Playground

Sam Fels February 20, 2019 0

We know that time waits for no one. Things change in sports even more quickly than they used to, and the tenets of your childhood fandom rarely apply when you get older. There was a time when the Hawks and Canadiens were bitter rivals. Hell, most of you can remember the Hawks and Leafs being […]

Game #61 – Hawks vs. Red Wings: Lineups & How Teams Were Built

Sam Fels February 20, 2019 0

Notes: Brendan Perlini was sick and missed the morning skate, and is being called a gametime decision. One thinks this allows Chris Kunitz to come back in either way…Delia has probably played himself out of splitting starts, though with Crawford’s timetable still nebulous, you don’t want to ride Ward too hard either. Maybe Friday against the […]

Game #56 – Wings 2, Hawks 5: Sometimes Things Can Just Rock

Sam Fels February 10, 2019 0

Box Score Natural Stat Trick Corsica I had an argument with a musician friend a while back. He’s a touch on the hipster side. I told him I had just seen The Kills live. He asked, “What’s the deal with them?” I wasn’t sure what he meant. “Y’know, what’s the deal? What do they mean? […]

Game #56 – Red Wings vs. Hawks Spotlight: Dylan Larkin Finally Points The Way

Sam Fels February 10, 2019 0

We can thank Dylan Larkin for one thing. And that’s putting end to the always-horseshit “The Red Wings Let Their Prospects Overmarinate” myth. The hockey media peddled that fucking thing for like a decade, and it eventually turned out that the reason they did all that is their prospects were middling at best, fuckwits at […]

Game #56 – Red Wings vs. Hawks Douchebag Du Jour: Again With A Bertuzzi

Sam Fels February 10, 2019 0

We don’t know what it is with Detroit and Bertuzzis. For some ungodly reason, maybe because they thought they knew better than everyone else or still do, Todd was allowed to be on an NHL roster for at least three years longer than he had any right to be. He was the prototype for Chungus […]
