Detroit exhibits frailty in loss to Anaheim

Filip Hronek scored unexpectedly at the end of the second period. The wings took a 1 goal lead into the third period. Anaheim quickly scored to tie it up. Anthony Mantha seemed to have regained the lead, but the goal was challenged successfully for an offside. Then, Detroit fell apart. Anaheim scores 2 more in 37 seconds. It was evident that the Red Wings didn’t have the ability to recover from... Read More »

Madison Bowey gets an opportunity against Anaheim

Along with the excitement of Athanasiou coming back into the fold, Madison Bowey will also get the nod tonight (10/8). https://www.nhl.com/news/c-309880588 I have wondered why Bowey has been on the sidelines.

Of interest, both of these defensemen are right... Read More »

What are Blashill and Yzerman doing with Madison Bowey?

In the home opener at Little Caesars Arena, Trevor Daley went down in the first period with an injury. I expect a fairly regular carousel of blue line ailments this year, in keeping with what the team dealt with last year. My assumption was that Madison Bowey will get his chance to play, as he’s currently a healthy scratch. And then Yzerman made a trade. We sent David Pope to Edmonton for Al... Read More »
