Matt,
Nicely done. I just wish I could see Hudler out there in a wheeled wing jersey again. He’s been fun to watch in Grand Rapids.

Very nice work, Matt!

We have problems - goaltending, Kronwall-less -, but the Red Wings are a symbol of superiority.

If he doesn’t land a roster spot with the Leafs, and if there’s $450k left in cap room, I think we might be able to count Steve Thomas as another forward this year. I was insanely grateful to see my all-time favorite non-Wing player come to Detroit in 2003, and knowing they really wanted him back makes me pretty happy. I hope he’s willing to cross the border if the Leafs don’t want him.

I was very optimistic until the Kronwall injury. It will put a hell of a lot of pressure on Delmore, who had a horible year after he signed with the Sabres, Jamie Rivers, who’ll have to prove he is capable of playing full time, and Lilja, who is a solid journeyman but may not b used to the pressure he’ll have here.

as for goaltending, I’m pretty happy with Manny as #!.

Kronwall Out 4-6 Months with knee surgery. Ugh.

Awesome review Matt! I’m so excited for the Wings game on Wednesday. I got tickets for my brother and Dad to go, but I have a lab that goes until later so I wouldn’t have been able to make the game. Anyways, it’s refreshing to know that hockey will be on FSN regularly. Although I feel awful for Kronwall. I really do.

Thanks for doing this preview, Matt! I’ve lost track of the Wings in the past few weeks, so this gives me a nice refresh on what has happened roster-wise.
