  1. 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.

  2. Red Wings not alarmed by third-period struggles

    So far in the 2013 Stanley Cup Playoffs, third periods are not the Red Wings’ best phase. The Blackhawks and Ducks have outscored them, 15-5. But how much does it matter, and is there a specific cause?

  3. Blackhawks taking aim at greatness

    Recent history suggests they can’t. The salary cap is designed so they won’t. But that won’t stop the Blackhawks from trying to become the kind of team that dominates the NHL in a way the Red Wings and Devils did for long stretches of the last two decades.

    Red Wings' Drew Miller declares he’s ready to play

    Friday's NHL roundup: Sidney Crosby's hat trick powers Penguins

    Working in wide-open swaths of ice left by Ottawa’s tentative defense, the Pittsburgh superstar needed just over one period to complete his second playoff hat trick and lift the Penguins to a 4-3 victory Friday night in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference semifinals.

    Criticism of Red Wings' Brendan Smith puzzles player, coach

    Nobody on the Red Wings played particularly well in Game 1 of their playoff series against the Blackhawks, but few seemed to take the abuse on social media and network airwaves like Smith.

  4. 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.

    Red Wings-Blackhawks rivalry was at its pinnacle in 1964, 1966

    Just a few years before, the Blackhawks won a Stanley Cup. A few years before that, the Red Wings had won several of them. The Hawks were an offensive juggernaut with a strong, mobile defense corps and fine goaltending.

    Game 1 against Red Wings pleases Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville

    It’s a hockey cliché, but when one team dominates another, it’s often referred to as tilting the ice. In Game 1 of the Western Conference semifinals Wednesday, it was the Blackhawks tilting the ice in their favor in a 4-1 victory over the Red Wings.

    Thursday's NHL roundup: Brad Marchand gives Bruins OT lift

    Boston’s leading goal-scorer during the regular season scored his first of the postseason with 4:20 left in the first overtime and the Bruins beat the New York Rangers 3-2 on Thursday night in the first playoff game in 40 years between the Original Six teams.

  5. Jimmy Howard can't bail out Red Wings in opener

    This one was hardly Howard’s fault. For nearly 50 minutes, he was about the only reason the Wings still had a chance to steal an early series lead, or at least force overtime.

  6. After furious start, Red Wings' game fizzles

    Missing utterly from the Red Wings’ execution was the forecheck, forwards supporting defense, defense moving the puck well and taking care of it and easy breakouts from their own zone and through center ice.
