    After a little rest, don’t count Red Wings out yet

    Oh, the Red Wings are outmanned, and it was evident in Wednesday night’s 4-1 loss. But after practicing at Joe Louis Arena on Friday before hopping on the plane back to Chicago, the Red Wings better understood the task, and felt better equipped to handle it.

    Open heart is needed to accept any, everyone

    I’ve been involved in ministry for more than two decades. The church has been my life. I have loved, hated, embraced, and attacked it; been welcomed by it, and been told I have no place in it.

  2. ARDS is a breathtaking illness that can be fatal

    Dear Dr. Roach: My son-in-law, age 48, suffered for a week with what he thought was the flu. Then he started having trouble catching his breath. He went to the emergency room and was admitted with what was diagnosed as double pneumonia. He was put on oxygen so that he could breathe. The next day, he was moved to the intensive care unit and put on a ventilator. The doctors said he had only a 50/50 chance of making it.

    Red Wings' Mule is in need of a kick-start

    Somebody better kick the Mule again. And they’d better do it while the Red Wings are still alive and kicking because they’re probably not going to be for long if they don’t get something more out of Johan Franzen in the Western Conference semifinals against the Blackhawks.
