William Horcoff’s first hockey equipment didn’t exactly fit. Now 16 years old and already 6-foot-4 and 168 pounds following an 80-goal season in 80 games with the No. 1-ranked Little Caesars U15 team, Horcoff was learning how to play the game in 2012. “We were in Edmonton and it was my first year buying him his first

I have a message for Detroit Red Wings general manager Steve Yzerman. Actually, it’s more of a request. Maybe even a borderline desperate plea. Here it is: Please take my money! You see, my wife and I had plans to treat our couple friends to see a Red Wings game this season at Little Caesars
[embedded content] Detroit – Honesty isn’t always the best policy in professional sports. But it is right now for Steve Yzerman, even if it makes him sound a bit sheepish, at times, as a general manager. Because when you’re on the outside looking in at the playoffs, as the Red Wings are again for a
Detroit − Four years into his tenure as general manager of the Red Wings, Steve Yzerman sees progress. The Wings won more games this season, improved statistically in the major categories, and were in the playoff chase for longer than they’ve been in recent seasons. But the Wings, obviously, aren’t quite where Yzerman wants them
Derek Lalonde’s message in his end-of-season availability matched what he said when it began: The Detroit Red Wings weren’t good enough. “I will give this group credit,” Lalonde said Friday afternoon, the day after the Wings finished the 2022-23 season with a 35-37-10 record. “I did not see this as a playoff team — where
Detroit — If the Red Wings had simply finished the season around mid-February, being above the playoff cutline and having games in hand, and playing good hockey in many areas, coach Derek Lalonde would have been just fine with it. “We’d probably be talking about me spending my coach of the year bonus already on
Now that it’s the offseason for the Detroit Red Wings, we can turn our focus to the cornerstone of rebuilding – the draft. With five top-50 picks in the 2023 NHL Draft, the Red Wings have a fantastic opportunity to upgrade their prospect pipeline. To kick things off, we’ll conduct a two-round mock draft. No
TAMPA, FLA. — Dylan Larkin brought it up. So did Moritz Seider and Derek Lalonde. The five-game losing streak that ended the Detroit Red Wings’ season with a 35-37-10 record benefitted their draft lottery odds, but that was scant balm for the guys who had just lost, 5-0, unable to muster even a single goal.
TAMPA, FLA. — Losing their last five games did at least help the Detroit Red Wings’ draft lottery odds. They finish the 2022-23 season with a 35-37-10 record, in 24th place. That gives the Wings a 5% chance to pick first overall in June’s draft, and 5.4% chance to pick second. Teams can not move
That’s it for another Red Wings hockey season. Game 82, the regular season finale, took place Thursday in Tampa Bay with the Wings falling to the Lightning 5-0. In a game befitting the regular season finale, with one team (the Wings) headed for the offseason and the other (Tampa) headed to the first-round of the
TAMPA, Fla. — This was how the Detroit Red Wings’ season ended: With a resounding message that they need help scoring. They put the 82nd game in the books on Thursday at Amalie Arena, falling 5-0 to an opponent trying to regain some mojo going into the playoffs. The Tampa Bay Lightning ended a four-game slide
There were specific areas coach Derek Lalonde wanted to see the Red Wings improve upon during his first season with the team. For the most part, the Wings did get better in some important departments as the season came to a close Thursday in Tampa. The Wings will not be involved in the NHL playoffs
TAMPA, FLA. — Fittingly, Derek Lalonde finished his first year as head coach of the Detroit Red Wings where he earned the job. Thursday’s finale against the Tampa Bay Lightning, where Lalonde served as an assistant for four years, closed the season on what has been a rewarding and turbulent first foray into the challenge
Times weren’t always so tough in Detroit sports. It has been a decade since the city last saw a team advance in the playoffs — when the Tigers beat the A’s in the 2013 ALDS, after Justin Verlander threw eight shutout innings and struck out 10 in win-or-go-home Game 5. (No need to talk about
TAMPA, Fla. — The team photo commemorating the 2022-23 Detroit Red Wings already has been snapped, arranged for convenience’s sake before the season closes. All that’s left to do is play Game 82. The Wings (35-36-10) have a chance to finish with a .500 record Thursday when they take on the Tampa Bay Lightning, with
Welcome to The Hockey Writers’ 2023 Offseason Trade Targets series for the Detroit Red Wings. During it, we will be looking at a handful of players from each NHL team who the Red Wings should consider pursuing this summer. The Washington Capitals have a disastrous 2022-23 season and have officially missed the playoffs because of
Detroit — The big news coming out of the Red Wings organization Wednesday didn’t necessarily come out of the NHL team, which closes out its season Thursday in Tampa. The interesting piece of news came out of minor-league affiliate Grand Rapids, where the Griffins announced defenseman (and Griffins captain) Brian Lashoff will be retiring at
RALEIGH, N.C. — The Detroit Red Wings headed south, with one more game to suit up for before heading anywhere but where they really want to be. Thursday’s season finale at the Tampa Bay Lightning comes one week after the Wings were mathematically eliminated from playoff contention. They haven’t won since, but it matters to
Only one more game, three periods of hockey left. That’s a good thing. Because it appears the Red Wings are sputtering, chugging, limping, all of it, to the finish line. With a depleted lineup Tuesday, the Red Wings traveled to Carolina and lost to the Metropolitan Division leading Hurricanes 4-1. That’s four straight losses for
RALEIGH, N.C. — The Detroit Red Wings’ slide is almost at the finish line. They were overpowered by another team fighting for playoff positioning Tuesday, losing 4-1 to the Carolina Hurricanes. It was the penultimate game of the season for the Wings, who will enter another long offseason after Thursday’s finale. They take on the Tampa
