Defending the Cup: Game 30

I have a post up at FanHouse on the Wings’ loss to Colorado last night.

On the Shuffling

Over at the FanHouse, I have a post up on the line and pairing shuffling Babock is experimenting with in practice this week.

Most Uncool

Wings fans, Jarome Iginla has passed Henrik Zetterberg in All Star voting, and he’s closing in on Pavel Datsyuk. That’s not cool. Not cool at all. Let’s get out there and Vote Detroit!

The explanation

Here it is, the explanation for the Wings’ early season funk:

The time it took to film that was time away from practice! It was a distraction like The Season was in 2002-2003! The good news is this won’t take up the valuable time of players like Henrik Zetterberg, Marian Hossa, Chris Osgood and Nick Lidstrom much longer, if at all.

Seriously, though, that’s a great commercial. And it’s not an excuse. Babock told it like it is today. Here’s hoping we see the return of Red Wings hockey soon.
