First off, a Kronwall update : The latest
today is that it’s a grade-2 or -3 sprain
and that he’ll be out 2-3 weeks. However, that’s a preliminary diagnosis (possibly handed down by the training staff) and isn’t the final one. He has to go through more tests today. ...

Horrible news from Montreal: Nik Kronwall left the
Wings/Habs game tonight with an apparent left knee injury.
He suffered the injury on a delayed penalty play involving George Laraque, who was already headed to the box for high-sticking Darren Helm. Laraque stuck his knee out and caught ...

Busy sports day, so no full notes post.
Just a few comments: … Both teams played last
night, so tiredness for the Wings will be no excuse. … The Canadiens won their game against Washington, which is a good indication of what their capable of despite their 11-11-0 record. ...

Notes on tonight’s game against the Panthers. …
The Panthers are predictably low in the standings, having
posted an 8-9-2 record thus far this season. Their 18 points are good for 13th in the East, but are still significantly more respectable than the ‘Canes 13 or the ...

LaRue : I guess I have to address
the May goal first, so I’ll start off by
saying it’s offensive to me that unemployment is 15.1% in Michigan, but an idiot like Dennis LaRue is able to hold on to a job. May goal : It goes without saying that it was a goal and that the Wings got ...

So, lunch-time and post-lunch meetings nuked the idea
of me putting together a game day notes post.
Let’s see how this goes. My open thread thought: Brad May is a scratch tonight against a team that includes Steve Ott. Heads up, Wings… Check the most recent news before talking ...

Chris Osgood’s still out with the flu or
whatever (I’m starting to suspect “flu” is a convenient
cover for “groin” or something else), so Jimmy Howard will get his fourth straight start Wednesday. This is as good a chance as Jimmy’s likely to get to ...

That’s six in seven, folks. Curly Fries (as
in “Curly Fries is on the ice.”) : Heck
of a game from the Future Captain. Five points, three goals and free Arby’s curly fries for everyone. Even aside from the goals, it was one of his best: he and his line were generating ...

Notes on the Wings’ first meeting with the
Ducks this season: … The Ducks have jumped out
out to a tepid 6-8-3, 14th-place start. They’ve lost their last two, including a 3-2 overtime loss in Columbus last night. Prior to that, they dropped a 3-1 decision in New Jersey on ...

Unfortunately short on time again today, so this’ll
be brief. Jimmah (as he’s now known among a
certain subset of fans) : Another solid night from the guy. His rebound control still needs some serious work, but he was better at even that and held the Wings in a game they had ...

Chris McCosky reports that Chris Osgood and Kirk
Maltby are out tonight with the flu. As a
result, Jimmy Howard will start his second in two nights and Drew Miller will make his debut as a Red Wing against Vancouver. This will be a nice test for Howard, who had a pretty solid 25 saves last ...

No, not Ryan. Sorry. His younger brother, Drew,
was claimed by the Wings off waivers today from
the Lightning. I expect he’ll be with the big club for a while, at least until the injuries subside. Then he’ll probably be in GR.

I was not around to be a fan
during the era of the “Dead Things.” I was
born after Yzerman was already on the team. I was 15 days shy of 1 year old when he was named captain. I was in Africa when he brought the Cup back in 1997, and had just returned when he handed it to ...

I’m sitting here watching the HHOF induction ceremony
and realized I didn’t post about Steve Yzerman’s entering
the Hall. To be honest, I don’t know what to say that would seem adequate. Bill comes close . As for me, all I can say is there will never be another player ...

Ellen of Big Red Machine was in Toronto
this past weekend for the game and the events
surrounding the HHOF inductions and has some pictures here . Seeing the game in person must have been painful at times, but meeting the team like that and experiencing the Hall sound incredible.

Jason Williams will miss some time with a
broken right fibula after falling awkwardly as a result
of a fight for the puck at the endboards. It looked like a major knee injury on replays, but Ken Daniels received word from the team that it’s a break. The good news is that a broken leg ...

A nicely paradoxical meeting tonight: “Yeah! O6 matchup
with the Leafs! History FTW!” but “Oh, they suck
this year so…” But it’s the weekend leading up to the Hockey Hall of Fame inductions, which includes honoring Steve Yzerman and two one-time Wings, so ...

It’s ridiculous how good it feels to say
this: three wins in a row for the Wings.
It’s easy to feel they’ve turned the corner. Osgood : Another strong game from him. 33 saves and and two in the shootout made for one of his better nights this season. He was tested to a fair ...

Apparently, the “specialist” Lilja saw in Vancouver was
a chiropractor. The initial reports on the visit were
nothing exciting as his headaches continued, at least while the team was still in BC. But Ansar Khan now reports that Lils has been headache-free for three days as a result ...
