Today is Feb. 3, 2023. It’s a perfectly innocuous date, at least until you shorten it to just the digits: 2/3/23. That’s 23-23, or as ESPN (and its ACC Network) has dubbed it: “Michael Jordan Day.” It’s all fine and good, we guess — there are worse ideas than a day devoted to Jordan’s greatest moments

The Detroit Red Wings are at the 2022-23 All-Star Break, and it’s a good time to take some stock in which players are excelling versus struggling. Forward Lucas Raymond is in his second season with the team and starting to settle into the caliber of the National Hockey League. There’s a case that can be
I knew that the first Quick Hits after posting yesterday’s post would be a little weird because it’s a very much ‘goodbye forever, see you tomorrow” kind of feeling, but here we are. Let’s power through. First off, I want to give a sincere thanks to everybody for the kind words yesterday. I didn’t know
With former Vancouver Canucks captain Bo Horvat headed to Long Island to join New York, the Boston Bruins are expected to shift their focus to another captain, this time Detroit Red Wings center Dylan Larkin. The Red Wings captain has really polished his game over the past couple of seasons, and at the perfect time.
Detroit — The speculation is endless on social media, from all corners of the globe, from Red Wings fans and NHL rumor spreaders alike. Everyone loves to tweet about Dylan Larkin’s contract situation. The fact Larkin hasn’t yet signed a contract extension with the Red Wings beyond this season. So, the questions arise about whether Larkin
According to Dylan Larkin’s agent Pat Brisson, things between the Detroit Red Wings and the pending UFA are not dire. Negotiations have not gone well to date, but there’s still time to work things out and the Red Wings will try to see if terms on an extension can be reached. While many insiders feel a
The Detroit Red Wings have taken a step in the right direction this season, as they have a 21-19-8 record at the time of this writing. However, although they have been more competitive this season, they still trail the Pittsburgh Penguins by seven points for the final wild card spot in the Eastern Conference. As
Filip Zadina is the latest Detroit Red Wings’ player assigned to the minors to work on his game. Zadina, an underperforming first-round pick from 2018 who hasn’t played in three months, was sent to the Grand Rapids Griffins on Thursday. It was an expected move, given his long recovery following surgery, after he incurred a
I’ve come to the decision that I’m stepping away as of February 28th. It’s been an incredible run at the helm of this site and I’m extremely proud of the community we’ve built together, but the recent business decision by the suits who own the framework on which we’ve been built has left it very

So DetHockeyNow has a report based on a BostonHockeynow report that the Bruins are interested in Larkin, but I’m not going to link to it because I’d rather warn people that this is a self-feeding rumor machine and it’s garbage. The guy who wrote the initial speculation has just about zero respect among other Boston
This weekend marks Dylan Larkin’s third appearance representing the Detroit Red Wings at the All-Star Game. It shouldn’t be his last one. Larkin is in the final year of a five-year contract signed before the 2018-19 season, with unrestricted free agency on the horizon. It’s the type of situation that begets uncertainty as the trade
With the All-Star Break upon the Detroit Red Wings and its fanbase, it’s a good time to circle back to some of the team’s up-and-coming stars. The Athletic($$) writer Max Bultman recently took a look into Marco Kasper, the eighth overall pick in the 2022 NHL Entry Draft. In Bultman’s piece, he talks about his trip

There has been lots of talk about the Detroit Red Wings’ interest in Bo Horvat ever since Rick Dhaliwal listed Detroit as a team to watch in trade talks. Dhaliwal is one of the most well-connected insiders in Vancouver (if not the most connected), so I believed him, though it’s strange to hear industry rumors
The New York Islanders pulled off a massive trade deadline deal well ahead of this year’s NHL Trade Deadline. A team that was rumored to be intrigued by the possibility of adding Bo Horvat, the Islanders weren’t the favorites to land him and there are some questions about their move to do so, especially considering
April 19, 2019. That was the day the clouds over the Red Wings fandom finally cleared for good; a day that signaled nothing but smooth sailing from then on out. It was the day Stevie Y came home. The hopelessness from the waning twilight of the Wings’ dynasty was immediately replaced with optimism. The Wings’
G Jussi Olkinuora #LGRW has been placed on unconditional waivers for purpose of contract termination — CapFriendly (@CapFriendly) January 31, 2023 Not much to say here.

Detroit Red Wings forward Jonatan Berggren has started to settle into the NHL and acclimate to the caliber of play he has to sustain to stick around. Frankly, he’s been impressive for the Red Wings and started to show some intriguing things with his play. The Detroit Red Wings must be happy with how things
Detroit — They’re ahead of where they were. But they aren’t where they need to be. So, that’ll be the challenge for the Red Wings coming out of the All-Star break, trying to bridge that gap between the fringes of the playoff chase and legitimate contention. And this will remain the dilemma for general manager
