READY FOR ANOTHER RUN AT LORD STANLEY’S CUP!The Red Wings officially clinched their 20th consecutive post-season berth on Saturday, April 2, earning two points in a dramatic come-from-behind 4-3 road victory over the Nashville Predators. Along with the San Jose Sharks, Detroit is now one of only two NHL teams to have qualified for the post-season every year since the league negotiated a new collective bargaining agreement with the player’s association in 2005. The Red Wings also secured their 11th straight 100-point season in that same game, a streak which extends their own NHL record. Detroit clinched their ninth Central Division title of the least ten years on Sunday, April 3, when they defeated Minnesota by a score of 4-2 at Joe Louis Arena.

MIKE AND MARIAN ILITCH CELEBRATE THEIR 29TH YEAR AS OWNERS OF THE RED WINGSMike and Marian Ilitch are currently in their 29th year as owners of the Detroit Red Wings. In their first 29 years, they successfully restructured a struggling franchise that had failed to qualify for the playoffs in 11 of the previous 12 seasons. Two of the first decisions made by the new owners were to hire Jim Devellano as general manager and draft Steve Yzerman with their first selection in the 1983 NHL Entry Draft. Their successes as owners include four Stanley Cup Championships, six Presidents’ Trophies, and 16 Division titles.

LIDSTROM TURNS IN YET ANOTHER SENSATIONAL CAMPAIGNDetroit Red Wings captain Nicklas Lidstrom became the first defenseman over 40 years of age in NHL history to record 60 points in a single season on March 28, 2011 when he found the back of the net during a home game versus the Blackhawks.

DETROIT RED WINGS NEWS CLIPS

Detroit Red Wings

Buzz returns for Red WingsChris McCosky, Detroit NewsMarch 30, 2011

Detroit— Don’t call it a turnaround, because even though the Red Wings are going to close the 2010-11 regular season with 23 consecutive sellouts at Joe Louis Arena, that’s a long way from the 396 straight the franchise enjoyed from 1996 through the season-opener in 2007-08.

Plus, even with the current sellout streak, average attendance at Red Wings games is up only about 100 per game this season.

But something special is happening down at the old barn. There is an unmistakable buzz, an energy that hasn’t been felt during the regular season in at least three years.

“The fans have been amazing all year,” Red Wings captain Nicklas Lidstrom said. “Especially this last home stretch; every game has felt like a playoff game.”

It’s not hard for fans to get excited about a four-game stretch that included Pittsburgh, Vancouver, Toronto and Chicago. Those were truly raucous crowds. Against Toronto last Saturday, Maple Leafs and Red Wings fans battled verbally (and physically — there was one minor physical altercation in the stands) every bit as hard as the teams. They not only traded chants, but sang their respective national anthems louder than singer Karen Newman.

But there also have been raucous sellout crowds for a Monday game against the New York Rangers, a Monday game against Phoenix and a Thursday game against Edmonton.

Tonight’s game against last-place St. Louis is sold out.“It’s been a great season,” said Dearborn resident Corinne Wendt,

a season-ticket holder since 2006. “I think as things started to pick up with the economy, more people are going to the games, and I think the team has really worked hard to get fans more involved in the games. It’s been a lot of fun.”

Bruce Ferguson from Grosse Pointe Farms has had his season tickets since 1988, and when he looks around he sees a lot of new, often younger faces around him.

He also sees a lot of young, hungry teams trying to knock the Red Wings off their perch. Both, in his view, provide an energy boost.

“It is a lot different and greatly improved over last season,” Ferguson said. “And the big reason for that is the team was hit by the injury bug so quickly last season, coming off the two Stanley Cup runs, that I think people got discouraged. Their enthusiasm got deflated in a hurry.

“This year, they’ve been on the rebound. … They are staying a little healthier and there are a lot of teams now that can jump up and punch us. You know, we have some tough series now with San Jose and Vancouver and Nashville and Chicago — there are more games that fans can get excited for.”

So what’s really happened? What has stirred the passions of a fan base long spoiled by 20 consecutive playoff runs? Why is Joe Louis Arena suddenly rocking in the regular season?

A perfect stormTom Wilson, hired from The Palace and the Pistons by owners

Mike and Marian Ilitch 13 months ago, has certainly helped change the culture, at least on the business side.

“Everything is up,” said Wilson, president of Olympia Entertainment. “Season tickets are up. Sponsorships are at a new high for the franchise. The suites are almost all gone in an economy where that shouldn’t really be the case. We are going to close the season with 23 sellouts and that’s due to a combination of things, starting with the stability and success of this organization,

beginning with ownership.”Wilson was quick to deflect any credit for the upturn, saying, “I

haven’t done anything. There was a very talented group of people here and we brought another smaller group of talented people (from The Palace). The foundation was rock solid and we’ve just tweaked it through an exchange of ideas.”

That’s understating it, of course, but it is true several factors beyond Wilson’s command converged to help invigorate what had become sleepy regular-season nights at the Joe.

The economy picked up, even if ever so slightly, and more fans have been willing to open their wallets.

“People have gotten a little bit more confident in the economy,” said Rob Mattina, director of marketing. “The passion has always been there with our fans, but now maybe they feel more confident, more willing to spend.”

Also, the competitive balance in the NHL is off the charts.In the Western Conference, 12 points separate No. 2 Detroit

and No. 10 Dallas. Three points separate No. 4 Phoenix and No. 8 Chicago.

Every game matters is more than a slogan, it’s reality.“The league is more balanced now and it provides so much more

excitement,” Mattina said. “We could have trouble getting out of the first round now. We saw it last year when we went seven games with Phoenix. Fans have gathered around that point. It’s no longer an expectation that we’ll get through round one.”

Third, the economic collapse forced a lot of long-time season ticket holders to relinquish their seats. Over time, those seats are being filled with younger and more enthusiastic — even if not as wizened — fans.

“Our season-ticket base decreased as the economy went down and we have had to find new ways to fill those seats,” said John Hahn, senior director of communications. “That has led to a newer fan base, people who have been long-time fans but maybe are getting to see the Red Wings at Joe Louis for the first, second or third time. They are bringing a new energy into the building than we had been seeing in the years before.”

It is similar to the pattern the Pistons followed in the early 2000s. As the team struggled, many of the old fans from the Bad Boys days left and were replaced by younger fans, whose heroes weren’t Isiah Thomas or Bill Laimbeer as much as Ben Wallace or Chauncey Billups.

“I used to know all the people around my seats,” Ferguson said. “But now, there are a lot of new faces. I don’t know if they are younger or I’m just getting older. But it’s different. They don’t necessarily remember Probie (Bob Probert) or Mike Vernon or (Brendon) Shanahan, but they get excited about (Henrik) Zetterberg and (Pavel) Datsyuk.”

A fresher audience means fewer ho-hum moments. Even the tossing of the Octopi at the start of the game — an act that got stale for veteran observers long ago — seems revitalized.

Reaching outBut you can’t completely downplay the changes implemented by

Wilson.“It starts with leadership,” Mattina said. “The change in

leadership has provided a different mentality throughout the whole organization.”

Before Wilson’s arrival, the various departments within the Ilitch empire tended to operate as individual entities. Wilson has managed to bring all departments together. He’s even managed to bring the Ilitch entertainment centers together — Joe Louis, Comerica Park and the Fox Theatre.

“It hasn’t been a big change,” Wilson said. “We had a great, dedicated staff and we took the best of what was here and the best


DETROIT RED WINGS NEWS CLIPS CONT.

of what came with us from up north (The Palace) and we merged ideas and we ended up with a greater whole.”

As he did at The Palace, Wilson beefed up the sales and service departments. He improved customer relations. He put a huge emphasis on using the team’s website and social media to interact with customers. And he managed to sell the other venues on a cross-marketing plan where buying a season-ticket package for the Red Wings could include Tigers tickets and Fox Theatre passes.

“If you are a Red Wing ticket holder, that’s your access to Tigers tickets,” Wilson said. “If you are a Tigers fan, that gains you access to the Red Wings and to the Fox Theatre. We are using all of them and it’s maybe a more full experience for our fans. Any point of entry is an entry into our world.”

The phrase Wilson uses is “consumer-centric.”“Because people are making the decision in a very tough

economy to spend what few discretionary dollars they have with us, we owe them more than we showed them, across the board,” he said.

Two years ago, the Red Wings had 60,000 Facebook friends. Now they have more than 480,000. Their data bank is at 450,000 customers. Their Twitter followers are at nearly 50,000. Their website visitation is up 10 percent. Even their playoff theme — 16 greatest moments in Red Wings playoff history — was interactive, with the fans choosing the 16 moments.

“The ubiquity of this brand and the power of this brand, and the passion of the fan base, it’s just remarkable,” Wilson said.

And, at long last, it looks like the organization has found a way to get that passion inside the building on hockey nights.

Mike and Marian IlitchOwnership difference between Wings, LeafsMIKE ZEISBERGER, Toronto SunMarch 27, 2011

DETROIT — Since 1982, the cast of characters who have had their fingerprints on the Maple Leafs ownership pie includes the likes of Harold Ballard, Steve Stavro, Larry Tanenbaum, the Ontario Teachers’ Pension fund and, in the coming months, well, who knows?

In those same 29 years, the Detroit Red Wings have had one owner.

One.Pizza magnate Mike Ilitch.When it comes to ownership, this indeed is a Tale of Two

Franchises.With the Teachers poised to sell their 66% cut of Maple Leaf

Sports and Entertainment shares in the coming weeks or months, control of the hockey team once again is in a state of flux.

On the surface, the transaction would not appear to affect general manager Brian Burke’s duties. When he looks to pull off a major transaction, he runs it by the MLSE board of directors.

While the MLSE board has been quite accommodating to Burke, who has a strong power base in his role as team president, Red Wings general manager Ken Holland has a much simpler process when he wants to bounce a major decision off ownership.

“My board of directors are Mr. and Mrs. Ilitch,” Holland said on Saturday. “I pick up the phone and call them.”

Simple. Yet effective. And there’s the rub.It is no coincidence that the Red Wings have enjoyed so much

success in the past three decades. The continuity of ownership,

combined with the fact that there is just one man at the top who rubber-stamps moves, as opposed to an entire board or group, has proved to be a lucrative formula.

Consider this: Since Ilitch, the founder and owner of Little Caesar’s Pizza, purchased the team, the Red Wings have won four Stanley Cups.

Over that same period, the Leafs have exactly zero.You connect the dots.“I’ve been general manager since 1997,” Holland said. “Whenever

I’ve called, if I think there is a move needed that is on the ice or off the ice, (the Ilitches) have never nixed it. If anything, Mr. Ilitch would like to see us grow the hockey staff. I tell him it’s all good, we’re happy the way it is.

“I remember when I said I wanted to sign Brett Hull. I called Mr. Ilitch, I walked him through it and it was done. Then I went through the agent. For Detroit and the Red Wings, ownership is a big part of the reason we’ve had the success that we’ve had.”

There is another big difference between the Toronto and Detroit franchises, this one having to do with the culture. MLSE is portrayed more as a corporate atmosphere, whereas the Wings, according to Holland, are “like a family.”

A family that Holland and Jim Nill, his right-hand man, have shown unwavering loyalty to.

In the past, prior to the hiring of Burke, both Tanenbaum and MLSE president Richard Peddie kicked tires on the possibility of luring Holland and/or Nill to run the Leafs. Both stayed put.

“Without a doubt, it’s a family atmosphere here,” Holland explained.

A lot of people (in this organization) are well-paid (but) I don’t know that a lot of people here are the highest paid in the industry. But it’s about stability. The owners make you feel appreciated. Our owners want to win. I think when your working as a player or coach or in the front office and you know your owners will give you the resources to win; when there’s good stability; there’s good security; and you enjoy the people you work with, why would you want to leave for the potential of a few extra dollars?”

Why indeed?The list of names who have been in the organization for at least

16 years is an impressive one. Holland. Nill. Senior VP Jimmy Devellano. Director of amateur scouting Joe McDonnell. On and on it goes.

For forward Kris Draper, who has been a part of all four Cup victories in the Mike Ilitch era, the continuity in ownership and management has a trickle-down effect into the dressing room, where the players understand every measure will be taken to help them win.

“We’re playing for first-class ownership,” Draper said. “Before the salary cap came in, if they thought there was a need to put out finances to help us win, they’d do it. It’s the same thing now.

“Everything here is first-class. We know how fortunate we are. We know their commitment.”

Draper points to the uncertain ownership situation in Dallas as an example of how different the environments of other NHL teams can be.

“When you don’t have consistency in ownership, I don’t know how smoothly you can expect things to go,” Draper said. “Look at the Dallas situation with Brad Richards. Did they want to keep him? Yeah. Could they? That was up in the air.

“We don’t have that problem. We have consistency.”It is a blueprint Brian Burke hopes to emulate in Toronto.Then again, with the sale pending of MLSE, who knows what will

happen?



Ken HollandGeneral manager Ken Holland keeps Red Wings at the topGregg Krupa, The Detroit NewsOctober 12, 2010

The first time the Red Wings were supposed to fade was after the consecutive Stanley Cups in 1997 and 1998. In an era marked by the turmoil of free agency, no NHL teams repeat anymore, experts asserted.

When the Wings hung around and then won another Cup in 2002, there were new predictions of decline. And, once again, they made the playoffs every year before winning another Stanley Cup in 2008 and playing in another Finals in 2009.

Last season, when a host of talent was lost via free agency and the salary cap came into play, the Wings grappled with more injuries than medics in a war zone. The demise was supposedly at hand again.

Now, after 19 consecutive years in the playoffs, they could be poised at a precipice, right?

Wrong.At the start of the 2010-11 season, the perennial contenders

again rank among the best in the league. And much of the credit is due a general manager acknowledged as perhaps the best in the game, Ken Holland.

Holland’s career as a goaltender got him just four games in the NHL. But his career as a general manager may well get him into the Hockey Hall of Fame.

In fact, if Holland were to retire tomorrow, his performance would rival many general managers already enshrined including many who worked in a far less complicated league of six teams, no free agency and no salary cap.

“It always starts at the top,” said Brian Rafalski, the veteran defenseman who has played on habitually-winning teams in Detroit and New Jersey, where an inductee to the Hockey Hall of Fame last year, general manager Lou Lamoriello, presides. “And, you know, obviously, you have peaks and valleys. But the franchise here has been able to keep it going.”

The formula, by and large, according to Holland, is: find good players, keep them signed and creatively fill in with effective role players, youthful prospects (Darren Helm, Justin Abdelkader) and veterans near retirement (Mike Modano, Dallas Drake).

“I think if you look at what’s gone on here since I became manager in ’97, we want change,” said Holland, 55, beginning his 28th year with the team, 14th as general manager. “But we want change to be slow. No. 1, you feel you have a good team going into the year. And then, we like our kids to spend as much time in the American league (AHL) to learn how to be pros, so when they get in NHL they are prepared to be in the best men’s league in the world. And, finally, I really think stability is one of the recipes for success. I don’t know if you can have six or seven people coming and going every two or there years.

“The criticisms of our organization have probably been, we are not big enough and tough enough and, at times, we’ve been too old. But I’ll put our record up against anybody.”

Moving forwardSometimes, though, like before last season, the job is harshly

challenging.In the wake of the crushing disappointment of losing to Pittsburgh

in the Stanley Cup Finals, Holland was trying to sign Marian Hossa before tying up either Jiri Hudler or Mikael Samuelsson.

Hossa decided to go to Chicago. Then, Hudler bolted to play for extraordinary money in Russia. And, before Holland could intercede, Samuelsson signed with Vancouver.

With the Red Wings deciding to play Jimmy Howard instead of re-signing Ty Conklin, who won 25 games in 2008-09, the franchise suddenly was without four considerable pieces of talent.

“We made a long-term offer to Hossa at a low cap number,” Holland recalled. “We tried to overwhelm him with the entire package. As it turned out, Chicago offered him $10 million or $15 million more for the entire term. So we really couldn’t get in the game.

“Then, on Sammy and Hudler, we wanted to keep Hudler’s 25 years, over Sammy’s 30-plus years. But Sammy signed with Vancouver three days before Hudler decided to go to Russia, for money that was awfully good for a young guy. On Conklin: Ty did a great job for us. But it was a matter of seeing what Howard could do, at 25, and rather than hanging on to a 33-year-old, we had to give Jimmy the shot sometime.”

Howard worked out.The rookie netminder often was the best player on the ice as the

Red Wings withstood a storm of injuries.Hossa worked out, too; but for Chicago. Samuelsson worked out

for Vancouver.Holland said it “never occurred to me” to pursue substantial

changes in the roster last season despite the turbulence. Thinking tactically, in advance, Holland knew injured players would return, that Hudler might be back and that, going into the season, he would have a chance to fill the roster with some low-cost free agents and still remain under the cap.

A year later, Holland is proven correct again.The Red Wings are back among the best with the addition of two

potentially key spare parts, Modano and Ruslan Salei, who come with salary-cap-friendly contracts.

“Mike’s in that situation we try, like Dallas Drake or Slava Fetisov or Freddy Olaussen,” Holland said of late-career arrivals that play roles and put their names on the Stanley Cup with the Red Wings. “If we have a role for you, we don’t care what the birth certificate says. It’s, ‘Can you play?’

“And I’ve been around Rusty Salei; did a little bit of talking. He wanted to go to a winner, and he liked the potential of our team. Between the coach he and Mike (Babcock) were together in Anaheim and that potential, he wanted to be here.”

Thinking aheadLike a keen billiards player visualizing two shots ahead, Holland

says he is intimately familiar with issues dealing with the salary cap two seasons into the future.

As he works his way to the start of 2010-11, he is mindful of contract terms on his roster, prospects in the system and free agents, through 2011-12 and 2012-13.

“I believe, if you make decision and it doesn’t work out the way they want, but you’re in a good cap situation for two years, it buys us one year to sort our way out of it,” he said.

For example, when he heard Hudler had signed a two-year contract that allowed him to leave the Kontinental Hockey League after one, Holland figured Hudler’s departure might well amount to a one-season sabbatical.

Holland says the cap also means more emphasis on signing drafted prospects and less on pulling stars out of the proverbial hat, as he often did with the Ilitches’ fond approval at the trade deadline.

“We have certain things we believe that help us to be competitive,” Holland said. “I don’t believe you can change philosophy every year and be successful. But, over time, we’ve been true to our philosophical beliefs, our owner has provided the resources and we’ve kept our core, older players. And our older players are mentoring the younger players.

Mike Babcock

Red Wings coach Mike Babcock agrees to 4-year extensionTed Kulfan, The Detroit NewsOctober 12, 2010

Detroit Mike Babcock didn’t want to go anywhere else and the Wings didn’t want him to leave.

So it was easy for both sides to work out a four-year extension that will keep Babcock behind the bench through 2014-15.

He’ll earn $2 million a year, which will make him the highest-paid NHL coach.

“I’m thankful to the Ilitches (owners Mike and Marian Ilitch) and to (general manager) Ken Holland for the opportunity,” said Babcock, who didn’t want to move with one daughter heading to college and another starting high school. He also has a young son.

“We’re lucky to be working with real good people. We’re happy here.”

Since replacing Dave Lewis to begin the 2005-06 season, Babcock has coached the Wings to a 2008 Stanley Cup title, lost a seventh game in the Stanley Cup Finals the following year, and strung together five consecutive seasons over 100 points (259-101-52 record).

“He’s the best coach in the business, and if he’s not, he’s one of the best coaches in the business,” Holland said. “Mike likes it here and we’ve had a great deal success under Mike. If he went on the open market, there would be a lot of interest of interest in him. But Mike likes it here.”

There is a theory in pro sports that coaches who stay with one team tend to go stale. Players tune out their message. But with the constant movement of players because of the salary cap, Babcock said it’s not a concern it once was.

In fact, he talked to coaches that have been with their teams a long time such as Lindy Ruff (Buffalo), Barry Trotz (Nashville) and Dave Tippett (Dallas) to address the matter.

“But it’s important to be changing things and be evolving,” Babcock said. “You’re always adjusting. I’ve learned from this group. From Stevie (Yzerman), and Shanny (Brendan Shanahan), and Chelly (Chris Chelios) and Nick (Nicklas Lidstrom) over the years.”

Players were pleased with Babcock’s extension and the continuity it brings.

“It helps both the players and the team when you know one coach and one system that everyone knows,” Lidstrom said. “He’s been very good for our team. He makes sure the team is prepared, stays on top of things all the time.”

Said Chris Osgood: “He’s not the type who wants to stay the same. He wants to keep improving. He’s diligent about keep moving forward.”

But going forward, Babcock only sees himself coaching. He has no desire to move into the front office.

“I’m a coach and that’s what I’m going to do,” Babcock said. “You can’t do the office job in front of a lake and that’s where I’m going to be.

“I’ve talked to my wife about one day being back at a university level, but not as a coach but teaching. That’s something of interest.”

Justin Abdelkader #8

Versatile Red Wing Justin Abdelkader fits well in many line slotsHELENE ST. JAMES, Detroit Free PressApril 6, 2011

From grinding it out on the fourth line to adding speed to the third line to centering the second line, Red Wings forward Justin Abdelkader has proved his versatility.

He figures to get more shifts playing between Johan Franzen and Todd Bertuzzi tonight against the Carolina Hurricanes at RBC Center. Defenseman Niklas Kronwall will miss a third straight game because of an upper-body injury; the Wings plan to decide Friday whether Kronwall will play that night versus the Blackhawks or in Sunday’s game at Chicago, or sit until the playoffs.

Playing Abdelkader with Franzen and Bertuzzi gives the Wings a big line, one capable of scuffling and scoring.

“I think just our size and our ability to get the puck deep and to work down low -- I think that’s an element we’re going to need in the playoffs,” Bertuzzi said, “and a style that we’re going to have to play in the playoffs. So we have to continue with that.”

Bertuzzi had two fights Saturday, and Franzen can be a monster physically. Abdelkader is developing a solid edge, delivering the kind of hits that can drive opponents crazy during a long playoff series.

“Yeah, I think he’s kind of gaining his reputation for that,” Bertuzzi said. “He plays hard, and he’ll back it up, too. He’s capable of being offensive -- it’s just a matter of getting years under his belt and getting his confidence up, and he could be a pretty darn good player.”

Coach Mike Babcock likes what he has seen from the trio, but, ideally, it’ll ultimately be Valtteri Filppula who plays in that second-line center slot.

“Abby’s played real hard, so that helps with that,” Babcock said. “But Val Filppula is a skilled guy for us that we think should probably be in that hole, because to me, to be as good as we can be, people need to be slotted right. And yet Abby has played real well and has been effective for us for a couple of games. Good for us.

“Over the next three games, you might see some different combinations. I’m trying to get in my mind what would be our lineup Day 1 of the playoffs.”



Given his 6-foot-1, 212-pound frame, speed and hardiness, Abdelkader could find a slot on the third line, as he did earlier in the season next to Mike Modano.

“I hope I can be a versatile player where I can play anywhere,” Abdelkader said. “Hopefully I can play on any line they put me on, whether it’s wing or center or wherever. I just keep it simple and hopefully just keep growing my game.”

Todd Bertuzzi #44

As Red Wing Todd Bertuzzi reaches 1,000 games, his career is in revivalHELENE ST. JAMES, Detroit Free PressFebruary 21, 2011

There was a time not long ago that Todd Bertuzzi didn’t think he’d get to where he is today. His career was in disarray. His body was battered. Then he landed in Detroit and found out how much fun hockey still is. That has led him to this afternoon, when he’s poised to play in his 1,000th career game when the Red Wings face the Wild in St. Paul, Minn.

Recognizing the significance, the Wings invited his wife, Julie, their daughter, Jaden, and son, Tag, along for the trip.

“I think that’s pretty special, having them there,” Bertuzzi said. “I’m pretty fortunate to be playing that many games. I’ve played on some good teams and with some good players, but I’m pretty proud and excited to be playing in a Detroit uniform.”

Bertuzzi has found his old scoring touch, too, with six goals over the past four games to help the Wings get on a roll.

Bertuzzi has become especially close to Chris Osgood: Call him a goal scorer with dreams of being a goaltender.

“When I’m done playing, he wants my equipment,” Osgood said. “He looks like a goalie when he’s in the net. That’s the scary part. He looks like he knows what he’s doing.”

Bertuzzi was a bona fide star a decade ago. Now as his career reaches 1,000 games, he has found renewed vigor as a Red Wing.

Timing was right for second stint with Red WingsBertuzzi once returned home from a Red Wings trip to find his

bags littered with Osgood cards. There were seven stuffed into one suit.

That’s the risk Bertuzzi lives with after admitting his innermost desire.

“I’m an in-the-closet goaltender at heart,” Bertuzzi said. “That’s why Ozzie does things like that, hides his cards everywhere. He’s a beautiful, beautiful man.”

So far, Bertuzzi has been limited to living his dream during summer beer leagues and when going on the ice with his son, Tag. Bertuzzi’s main role has been as a forward, a gig that has taken him around the NHL and twice to Detroit. A myriad of health problems, including back surgery, derailed his career last decade, but he hasn’t missed a game since rejoining the Wings in the summer of 2009.

This afternoon, he’ll become the 263rd NHL player to reach 1,000 games. Bertuzzi, 36, has 287 goals among 704 points during his NHL career, which began when the New York Islanders made him the 23rd overall pick in the 1993 draft.

“I remember I watched him in his draft year,” Wings general manager Ken Holland said. “He played for Guelph. That was the early ‘90s. It’s taken 17 years to get to 1,000 games. A thousand games in the National Hockey League is a significant milestone.”

Players tend to downplay individual accomplishments if things aren’t going well for the team, but things are going well for the

Wings, in no small part because of Bertuzzi. He has three two-goal games the past 10 days, spurring the Wings on a four-game winning streak and earning praise from his demanding coach.

“I think if Bert is skating and being physical and hanging on to the puck, he really helps us,” Mike Babcock said. “He’s an important player on our team. He’s big. He can hang on to the puck. He skates good. That’s what it’s all about.”

Bertuzzi’s page in history looked unlikely to be written half a dozen years ago, when he was dealing with a bad back, an aching neck and a concussion. He went from the NHL’s premier power forward to nearly fading from hockey.

“Thirty to 34 kind of sucked, but I was lucky to get a second shot at coming back to Detroit and playing some fun hockey and being around some quality, quality guys,” Bertuzzi said. “That makes coming to the rink very enjoyable. I’m looking forward to going into Minny (Minnesota) and playing that game.”

From high to low to HockeytownDuring his third season with the Islanders, Bertuzzi was traded

to Vancouver, where he built a reputation as one of the game’s elite forwards and nearly destroyed it with a punch that forever has made Bertuzzi a polarizing figure in hockey. His March 8, 2004, pursuit of then-Colorado forward Steve Moore left Moore with fractured vertebrae and a concussion -- and ended his career. Two days later, Bertuzzi apologized; a day later, the NHL suspended him indefinitely. With the 2004-05 season wiped out by a labor dispute, Bertuzzi served 20 games and forfeited about $500,000 in salary before being reinstated for the start of the ‘05-06 season.

Civil suits followed, and Bertuzzi still gets booed loudly in Colorado. To the Wings, the incident is long past.

“I think one thing happened, and people let that linger for years and years,” Osgood said. “He was an abrasive player in his prime and, yeah, that was a terrible thing that happened, but I think he’s moved on from that. I think everyone in this room has. We don’t think about that. He’s Todd Bertuzzi, a Red Wing, not what happened previous.”

The only other time Bertuzzi has been suspended by the NHL came in 2001, when he got an automatic 10 games for leaving the bench to help then-teammate Ed Jovanovski in a fight.

“Bert’s reputation is undeserved,” Danny Cleary said. “He’s a really good guy, a really caring guy. He wants to win really bad. ... He’s really committed to making this work, and he’s a big reason why we’re winning.”

Bertuzzi’s early 30s were overshadowed by injuries, including a herniated disk that flared in the fall of 2006. He was still recovering from surgery to deal with that when the Wings gambled on him at the trade deadline, acquiring him Feb. 27, 2007, for Shawn Matthias and a conditional pick. Bertuzzi didn’t play until nearly a month later, then hurt his neck, limiting him to eight regular-season games and causing him to miss the first two games of the playoffs.

The Wings tried to keep him, offering a one-year deal. But the Anaheim Ducks gave him two years and $8 million. Bertuzzi played one season in Anaheim before having his contract bought out as the Ducks scrambled to address salary-cap concerns. Bertuzzi spent the ‘08-09 season with Calgary.

The sequelWhen Bertuzzi was on the market again in the summer of ‘09, the

Wings offered him a one-year deal for $1.5 million.“We were very happy to get him back,” Holland said.Before approaching Bertuzzi, Holland ran the idea by veterans

Osgood and Kris Draper to get their opinion, eager to hear if they thought Bertuzzi would be a good fit in the locker room.

“I’m big on chemistry,” Holland said, “and you want to make sure a player fits in. I talked to three or four of our guys and brought up



Bert, and everyone thought he was real positive in the locker room.“I think for a lot of reasons, the timing was right for him to come

back. ... His son is around a great youth hockey program in Detroit. It was a good signing for us. When we got injuries in the ‘09-10 season, I thought there was a stretch there in November when he took us on his back and he kept us afloat.”

Bertuzzi called it “a blessing not going back to Calgary, and having the opportunity when Kenny called to ask if we can get something done. Fortunately, we did. I’m in a good place right now.”

Bertuzzi finished with 44 points in ‘09-10, and the Wings rewarded him with a two-year deal worth $3.875 million. At 6-feet-3, 225 pounds, he adds size to a lineup often criticized for being small. He has worked hard to fit into the system, adding a defensive element he had never shown.

Tasked with shadowing Columbus’ Rick Nash this season, Bertuzzi did such a good job that for days afterward, Cleary called Bertuzzi “Selke” after the trophy given annually to the NHL’s top defensive forward. The Wings get all that for just under $2 million a season.

“If he was going to carry a team on his back like he did in Vancouver, we wouldn’t be getting him at the salary he’s at,” Holland said. “The reason we got him at that salary is because he’s one of a bunch of pretty good players we think we can have so we can roll four lines. We’re thrilled to have him. He gives us some options because he’s got good chemistry with Johan Franzen, so we can play them together to have a real big line. He can chip in goals. When he’s strong on the puck, he makes the other team spend energy.”

Minding the puckBertuzzi often can be found hanging out with the goalie group,

trying to fit in and offer advice.“He’s right there at every workout we do with the guys. He’s

always the first guy on the ice, watching and critiquing,” goaltending coach Jim Bedard said. “He’ll say, ‘We need a little more pace out of you,’ stuff like that.”

Though Bertuzzi isn’t as naturally gregarious as Draper or as affable as Osgood, he has endeared himself to his teammates. Asked about Bertuzzi’s personality, Draper broke into a grin and interjected. “Sunshine? He is a quiet guy, but when he’s in the locker room he jokes around with the guys. Between periods, he talks to the guys -- way to go, way to skate, way to do this -- he tries to build. That’s just kind of what goes on in this dressing room. It doesn’t matter where guys have been or what they’ve been like. It always seems when they come in here, we always have a good group of guys, and Bert is certainly one of those guys.”

Bertuzzi has been to Draper’s house for Thanksgiving dinner, and to Osgood’s to watch sports, and play them. One time, the two ended up outside, their hockey roles reversed.

“I’ve only seen him play goalie once, and that was street hockey,” Osgood said. “He’s big. He takes up a lot of the net, and he’s quicker than you think. He’s got long legs. I tried to go five-hole on him a bunch of times, and I couldn’t get anything by him.

“Bert wants all my equipment when I’m done playing, so I’m going to have to try to outlast him. He’s an aspiring goalie, so he wants my pants, my gloves, my pads. There’s no way my helmet will fit his head, of course.”

Pavel Datsyuk has encouraged Bertuzzi to hone his skills.“I think he maybe would make good soccer goalie, because he

play bad soccer,” Datsyuk said. “So I think just put him in goal and make him stay there, not touch the ball so much.”

Not that long ago, Bertuzzi had sunk to a point that other teams didn’t give him a second look. The Wings did, and Bertuzzi, in turn, found a home, and now a piece of history.

Dan Cleary #11

Danny Cleary on track for career year for Red WingsHELENE ST. JAMES, Detroit Free PressDecember 2, 2010

ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Danny Cleary is showing nightly what a difference it makes to be healthy. After a season that saw him hobbled by a knee injury so bad that he couldn’t walk up stairs, Cleary again is a force for the Red Wings and is on track for a career year.

Cleary contributed a goal and an assist in Tuesday’s 5-3 victory at San Jose, giving him 11 goals and 17 points in 22 games. He was put on the top line with Henrik Zetterberg and Pavel Datsyuk to provide speed, but he has mostly been on the third line lately with Justin Abdelkader and Jiri Hudler.

“He’s been excellent for us all year, skating real well. He’s healthy, and you can play him with anybody,” coach Mike Babcock said. “When you put him on a line, it makes the line better, and that doesn’t matter if it’s Pav and Z or Hudler and Abby.”

Because they don’t play again until Friday at Anaheim, the Wings used Wednesday to rest. Not that Cleary, who turns 32 on Dec. 18, needs those days so much; he has recovered from off-season knee surgery and is raring to go.

“It’s a great feeling,” he said. “(I’m) healthy, had a good summer training, and combined, it’s going good now.”

Cleary’s production surged after some personnel shuffling a month ago created better balance on his line. He’s good with the puck and especially useful because of his skating and forechecking -- hence the occasional stint with Datsyuk and Zetterberg. Cleary just has to remember who else is on the ice when it comes to handling the puck.

“When I’m with Pav and Z, I get out of their way,” he said. “When I’m with Huds and Abby, I get to have it a little bit more. Either way, it’s great.”

Pavel Datsyuk #13 Red Wings’ Pavel Datsyuk is rustproofBy MICHAEL ROSENBERG, Detroit Free PressFebruary 8, 2011

Pavel Datsyuk said he was not really on his game Monday night, but that was laughable in so many ways. There he was, after a seven-week absence, scoring a goal, setting up another -- and cracking jokes afterward! That’s what I like to call the Media-Friendly Hat Trick.

When will Datsyuk play like himself again?“I think 2014,” he said.Well, when will he be able to take face-offs again?“Face-offs?” the center asked. “I like left wing.”Datsyuk also said he was so rusty that after his first two shifts,

he felt “like I’m starting a fight with myself.” Honestly, at that point I was ready to hand him my laptop to let him finish my column, but he seemed tired and I didn’t want to be rude.

What matters is that Datsyuk is back, and even a not-quite healthy, self-deprecating Datsyuk is a heck of an asset.

Datsyuk came back at the right time, too. The Red Wings entered the game at Joe Louis Arena with a little scoring problem. The problem is that they weren’t scoring, not even a little. They did not score against Columbus on Friday. They did not score in Nashville on Saturday. They did not score in St. Louis on Sunday, and yeah,



you can point out that they didn’t actually PLAY in St. Louis on Sunday, but this is the NHL. There are no excuses here.

Then the Wings went the entire first period against the Rangers without scoring. It was almost as if they had forgotten what a goal was. Then, 2 minutes, 52 seconds into the second period, Datsyuk created a chance and finished it.

First he stole the puck from New York Rangers center Brian Boyle. Then he chipped it out to a teammate. Then he got it back, tried to stuff it into the goal, failed, corralled the rebound and put it in the net.

In the third period, Datsyuk added an assist on a Jiri Hudler goal. The Wings celebrated their victory the way everybody in the NHL likes to celebrate: by hitting Sean Avery in the face. Alas, they did it before the game ended, which led to two high-sticking penalties and some crazy power-play action at the end of the game. But it will go down as a 3-2 Wings victory and another little crisis averted.

Datsyuk had not played since Dec. 22 because of a broken right hand. This struck me as odd, because as everybody knows, Datsyuk could be an All-Star if he held his stick in his armpit. Still, it is not my place to question the doctors.

Datsyuk’s hand did not seem to bother him a whole lot Monday. But it is hard to just drop into an NHL game after almost two months off and expect to be great. It’s like starting to juggle after the balls are in the air.

The Wings could not have asked for a better return. Goalie Jimmy Howard (who has struggled lately but stopped 45 of 47 shots) laughed when he was asked about Datsyuk’s ability to play this well after a long layoff. Howard raved about Datsyuk stopping odd-man rushes, and it was just a reminder of how much Datsyuk brings to the ice when he is at his best.

“He’s a special player,” Howard said. “He’s a complete player. He can do it in all three zones.”

Sometimes it seems as if Datsyuk might create a fourth zone, 30 feet above the ice, just to amuse himself. Yet he is not perfect. Datsyuk’s production slipped a bit last season, and there were times he just seemed worn out. His production has been there, for the most part, this season -- even Monday, when he said he was worn out.

“I feel like I’m fresh before game,” he said. “But when I jump, I can’t catch my breath. ... It doesn’t matter what you do off ice. When you jump at this level of hockey, it’s tough.”

The Rangers and I will take his word for it.

Kris Draper #33

Wings’ Kris Draper still grinding, but knows ‘the end is coming’John Niyo, Detroit NewsFebruary 14, 2011

Detroit -- His linemates are in their mid-20s, and one of them, Darren Helm, probably was still in diapers when Kris Draper began his pro hockey career back in the late-1980s.

So, no, the Wings’ veteran center needs no reminders about his age at this point, three months shy of his 40th birthday.

And yes, with most of his old teammates already retired like Kirk Maltby, who was in a suit in the press box Sunday as a first-year NHL scout for the Wings Draper says he’s well aware that “the end is coming.”

But it’s days like this scoring the winning goal against an Original Six opponent before a sellout crowd at Joe Louis Arena that remind him he’s not kidding himself thinking the end hasn’t arrived already.

That, and the look on son Kienan’s face as he handed him another souvenir puck after the 4-2 win over the Boston Bruins. It’s an early

birthday present for Kienan, who turns 9 this week and brought eight of his hockey buddies to Sunday’s game to celebrate.

“Yeah, that’s pretty cool,” said Draper, whose wrist shot at 12:44 of the second period proved decisive. “Leaving the house (this morning), he wasn’t asking for a goal, he was more or less telling me to get a goal. So it was exciting. I think you could tell by the smile on my face, I was pretty pumped when it went in.”

So was the crowd, obviously. And not just because it was Draper a fan favorite as one of only a handful to have played 1,000-plus games in a Red Wings uniform who finally gave the Wings a lead against the Bruins.

Lucky charmSunday’s matinee was the 11th consecutive sellout for the

Wings, but it also marked the ninth straight game on home ice they failed to lead after one period. And while Sunday’s win completed a weekend sweep of Boston, the Wings remain a sub-.500 club at home four wins, five losses since Christmas, which is why they got booed off the ice last week after a listless performance Wednesday against Nashville.

“We deserved it,” Draper said after the fans responded with a loud ovation at the end of Sunday’s win. “Whether it’s your first or second year here or if you’ve been here 20 years, it’s not too often that you hear that. And it bothered a lot of us walking off the ice. Not the boos, but the fact that we gave ‘em a reason to boo us.

“That’s something that is unacceptable. We take a lot of pride in our work ethic, in how we go out and compete. We weren’t doing it and we knew it. And the fans let us know rightfully so.”

After a dominant 6-1 showing Friday night in Boston, the Wings looked like they’d overslept again to start Sunday’s game. They trailed 2-1 after 20 minutes, looked shaky defensively, and the natives were getting restless again.

Earlier, the team had rolled out the red carpet for a pregame ceremony honoring Chris Osgood for his 400th career win back in late December. And it was Draper, fittingly, who represented Osgood’s teammates, skating out with a bouquet of flowers for his wife, Jenna, at center ice. Osgood and Draper are the best of friends and former roommates their daughters were busy goofing around on the ice after Sunday’s game and Draper even joked after his game-winning effort, “I told Jenna I’m gonna need a kiss before every game now.”

Still, the irony of that ceremony for Osgood complete with the career-retrospective video wasn’t lost on Draper, either. Osgood, the Wings’ backup goalie, is still working his way back from hernia surgery last month, and the 39-year-old admits this could be his last NHL season. Draper also is in the final year of his contract and knows this might be it for him, too.

Splitting timeHeck, six months ago, Draper thought he might be done after

getting injured the first day of training camp in Traverse City and then undergoing hernia surgery in October. When he finally was healthy enough to play in December, Draper had trouble cracking the lineup for coach Mike Babcock.

The ice time that used to belong to him as the team’s checking-line center now goes to Helm and Justin Abdelkader, among others. (Those two combined to win 17 of 22 faceoffs on Sunday, by the way.) Draper still played the fewest minutes of anyone in a Wings uniform on Sunday.

“I feel I’m a confident guy and I’m sure of what I can do,” Draper said, “but when you’re a healthy scratch, doubt sets in.”

And no doubt, he may feel that way again soon, when Valtteri Filppula (knee) and Mike Modano (wrist) return to the lineup later this month and Babcock finds himself with extra forwards again.

“I thought Drapes was good, and that line’s been a real constant for us,” Babcock said of Helm’s line with Draper and Patrick Eaves,



whose nifty pass set up Draper’s goal his sixth in 28 games. “They seem to do things right each and every night.”

For most of the last two decades, that’s been Draper’s role for this team, happily grinding away while the stars shine. And even now, in the twilight of his career, he insists that’s his intention.

“With an opportunity, I feel like I can still play and I can skate and I can still do some good things and help out this hockey club,” Draper said. “In the big picture, when everyone gets healthy, do I know what my role is? No. But I’m just gonna keep doing what I’m doing.”

When it was all done Sunday, that was reason enough to smile.

Patrick Eaves #17

Patrick Eaves finds offensive niche with Red WingsAnsar Khan, MLive.com January 14, 2011

DETROIT -- The similarities between Patrick Eaves and Danny Cleary are striking.

Each was a first-round draft pick who didn’t last long with his original club and played for multiple teams before getting an opportunity to resurrect his career with the Detroit Red Wings.

Each found a niche in Detroit as a fourth-line grinder/penalty killer/energy player.

And through hard work and opportunity, both have showed they still have the offensive abilities that attracted them to NHL scouts years ago.

Cleary, who is out another 2-3 weeks with a fractured ankle, is a versatile and valuable top-six forward. Eaves hopes his career follows the same path.

“I hope so. That’s an awesome story,” Eaves said. “I hope I’m on track like him, but I don’t know. You can’t really think about that stuff.

“Clears has been awesome with me and always giving me confidence and talking to me. We work out together. So, yeah, I want to be like him. Hopefully I can get there.”

Eaves has 12 goals heading into tonight’s game at the Columbus Blue Jackets, already matching his total from last season, despite playing little on the power play. His primary role, on a line with Darren Helm and Kris Draper, is to check, kill penalties and provide energy, but the club values the offensive contributions it gets from third- and fourth-line players.

“At the start of last year we were sending him to the minors, and just with attitude and work ethic he found a way to scratch and claw and be on the team and became a real good penalty killer,” coach Mike Babcock said. “That line’s been better and better for us, and Patty’s found a way to shoot it in the net this year, which is real important. He’s a guy who can finish checks and be gritty and shoot the puck.”

The Red Wings signed Eaves in August 2009, after he had been bought out of his contract by the Boston Bruins, days after they acquired him from the Carolina Hurricanes.

Eaves scored 20 goals in 58 games as a rookie with the Ottawa Senators in 2005-06, and teammate Niklas Kronwall said players realized he has a tremendous wrist shot the first time he stepped onto the ice with them.

“He’s been using it a lot more lately,” Kronwall said. “He puts himself in a good spot all the time, the high slot area that’s really tough to cover as a D-Man. He has that quick release and the puck just takes off.”

Eaves has seven goals in his past 10 games, including his first career hat trick Dec. 29 in Dallas.

“When Helmer and I get in on the forecheck we know exactly where Eaver’s going to be,” Draper said. “When a guy’s like that, you want to feed him the puck as much as possible. You never know, if it doesn’t go in, there’s a rebound.”

Eaves’ hot streak earned him rare power-play time in three of the past four games.

“You can just feel the confidence from the management and the coaches and everyone here,” Eaves said. “I felt that right when I got here. I knew I’d have to work my way into the lineup. From there, you just get absorbed into the community goal of winning.”

Eaves has become the latest in a series of successful reclamation projects for the Red Wings.

“It’s a smart organization,” Eaves said. “They know the kind of players they need and what roles need to be filled. They know the background of every player they get, top to bottom. This is a good spot to be.”

Cory Emmerton #48

Call-up Cory Emmerton scores Wings’ only goalHELENE ST. JAMES, Detroit Free PressJanuary 23, 2011

The Red Wings saw yet another of their prospects come up from the minors and make an immediate impact Saturday afternoon, but otherwise the game pretty much belonged to the Blackhawks.

The Wings fell, 4-1, to Chicago at Joe Louis Arena, getting their only goal from Cory Emmerton, who began the morning in Grand Rapids before being called up to play in place of Valtteri Filppula, who was up most of the night battling flu-like symptoms.

The Wings had just 17 shots on net after two periods. “I don’t think we had any sustained pressure in their zone where we had some good scoring chances,” captain Nicklas Lidstrom said. “I thought we were one chance and done, and their power play was working well for them. They had the upper hand on specialty teams.”

The Blackhawks trail Detroit by eight points in the Central Division, but that’s hardly indicative of how good they are when fully healthy, which they haven’t been until the past two weeks. The Wings, meanwhile, were also without forwards Pavel Datsyuk, Danny Cleary, Tomas Holmstrom, Mike Modano and defenseman Brad Stuart.

“When you’re short staffed like we are, we had to win the specialty teams battle,” Mike Babcock said. “I thought their goalie did a real good job down the stretch in the game and we weren’t able to come through.”

The loss dropped the Wings to 2-3-1 in their last six, but they’re still 9-5-2 since Dec. 22, the game that began an avalanche of injuries, beginning with Datsyuk.

“I guess the way I look at it, we’ve been scratching and clawing and working hard and we continue to do that each and every day,” Babcock said. “I think we’ve been great, I really do. That’s why some of the questions I don’t quite understand. But that’s all right. The bottom line is, each and every day, you’ve got to find a way to be better. We weren’t good enough today.”

Emmerton was a highlight, and his play he had three shots on net and was a plus-1 in 9:05 minutes earned him an extended stay, as he’ll stick around while Tomas Tatar goes back to Grand Rapids.

“I like Emmerton because he is smart and he can make plays and he knows how to make plays without the puck,” Babcock said.

Former Wing Tomas Kopecky had two goals for Chicago, and Dave Bolland and Troy Brouwer also scored. The Blackhawks



scored on their first two power plays, and Corey Crawford made 20 of his 36 saves in the third period.

Jonathan Ericsson #52

Jonathan Ericsson shows plenty of improvement in second year with Red WingsAnsar Khan, MLive.comMarch 7, 2011

GLENDALE, Ariz. — Jonathan Ericsson’s first full NHL season was marred by mistakes that led to many goals for the opposition and minus ratings on many nights for the young defenseman.

The Detroit Red Wings knew he was much better than he showed in 2009-10. He has proven it this season.

Ericsson still is a work in progress, but he might be the team’s most improved player.

“I learned a lot from what happened last year, couple of rough months there,’’ Ericsson said before Saturday’s game in Phoenix. “It’s all about confidence. If you play with confidence, everything comes natural. When you think too much you have to try to get back to basics again.

“It’s been a lot better year.’’Ericsson has three goals, 11 assists and — most importantly —

a plus-11 rating that ranks third on the club. Last season, he was a team-worst minus-15, plagued by turnovers and bad decisions.

Coach Mike Babcock said Ericsson “is going in the right direction in his career’’ and attributed his improvement to confidence, which comes from experience. Ericsson, the final player selected in the 2002 NHL entry draft (291st overall), didn’t start playing defense in his native Sweden until he was 17.

“He’s 26 (turned 27 on Wednesday), but he’s a kid in the league,’’ Babcock said. “He’s a big, talented guy who has to play a simple, hard, physical game to be successful. The more simple he plays, the better he plays. It’s real straight-forward.

“Sometimes with his skill level he tries to be a little fine with the puck. All he’s got to do is watch Nick (Lidstrom). The best plays are the simplest ones. As long as he keeps his game simple, he’s a real good player for us.’’

When a defenseman is 6-foot-4 and 220 pounds, many expect him to be a punishing force. Ericsson, however, ranks ninth on the team with 77 hits. He is not a consistent physical presence like teammate Brad Stuart and doesn’t step up to deliver a crunching check like Niklas Kronwall occasionally does.

But Ericsson believes his physical game will evolve with time.“It’s something I always have in the back of my mind, try to be

more physical,’’ Ericsson said. “You want those things to come, it’s hard to force things out there. Of course, I should be thinking about being more aggressive out there. You don’t want to try too much because then you’re going to overdo it and you’re going to get lost in the D-zone. Just progressively you have to get better.’’

Ericsson is more concerned about improving on the penalty kill.“I want to be better at penalty killing, be a force for us there, be a

guy they can count on every night,’’ Ericsson said.He has been paired with Kronwall the past five games because

Brian Rafalski has been idled by back spasms. Ericsson and Rafalski have been paired together most of the season.

“It helped me a lot,’’ Ericsson said. “I try to back (Rafalski) up when he’s going on the offensive. I feel confident playing with him. I think we work well together.’’

Ericsson is in the final year of his contract, earning $1.25 million (it was structured so the salary-cap hit is $900,000), and can become an unrestricted free agent on July 1.

His agent has had some talks with general manager Ken Holland, but they are not close to a deal. If no agreement is reached before end of the regular season, talks will be tabled until after the playoffs.

Ericsson said it’s not a distraction.“We’ll see what happens,’’ he said. “I don’t want to think about it.

The less you think the better it is. When it comes, it comes.’’

Valtteri Filppula #51

Expectations mount as Red Wings’ Valtteri Filppula hits milestoneHELENE ST. JAMES, Detroit Free PressNovember 4, 2010

CALGARY, Alberta -- His wingers think Valtteri Filppula is all right, though he could be better and he could be Swedish.

Now in his fifth season with the Red Wings, Filppula has emerged as a bona fide two-way star, a guy whose offense at last has caught up to his defense. Wednesday’s 2-1 victory against the Flames was the 300th game of Filppula’s career, one which has seen him grow from grinder to second liner.

“He’s been good ever since he got here,” winger Johan Franzen said. “I remember my first training camp, he was a really good player, but I think he’s gotten stronger with the puck, and he’s started shooting, too. He’s got all the parts of the game. He works really hard on the ice, and off the ice, and he’s so smart.

“He’s a Finn, still, but he’s almost as smart as a Swede.”Filppula has two goals and six points while Franzen has six goals

and eight points and Todd Bertuzzi has nine points. The line was the team’s hottest the first few weeks of the season, benefitting from two sizable wingers and a clever, fleet-footed playmaker in the middle.

The Wings have long been high on Filppula, 26, whom they drafted 95th overall in 2002, but it hasn’t been until this season that he got a chance to really show how good he is because he usually played behind Pavel Datsyuk and Henrik Zetterberg.

“I think he’s got a lot more to give and to show,” Bertuzzi said. “I think he’s capable of scoring a lot more and making support plays. Obviously he’s really taken a huge step, but I think it’s a compliment to him that he’s got a little bit more -- he’s that creative, and he’s that strong on the puck, and I think he’s that good of a player.”

Calgary coach Brent Sutter said it’s clear how much Filppula has benefitted from having Datsyuk as a role model.

“Both of those guys -- Filppula has learned from Datsyuk -- they’re such great two-way players,” Sutter said.

Filppula is relishing the opportunity to play more and be a regular on the power play, too.

“It’s been a really exciting 299 games,” he said. “When you first come over, you’re just trying to make the team and play as much as possible. The expectations are higher when you get to play more, so I hope to be a bigger help to the team this year.”

Johan Franzen #93

Red Wings’ Johan Franzen gives his uncle a trip to rememberGEORGE SIPPLE, Detroit Free PressFebruary 4, 2011

Johan Franzen made it a worthwhile trip for his uncle.Franzen became the first Red Wing to score five goals in a road

game Wednesday night when Detroit beat the Ottawa Senators, 7-5. The franchise’s other five-goal games came from Sergei Fedorov



against the Washington Capitals on Dec. 26, 1996, and Syd Howe (who scored six) against the New York Rangers on Feb. 3, 1944.

Franzen said his uncle Mats and some friends from Sweden attended Wednesday’s game, the first part of a trip that includes games in Toronto and Buffalo, the Wings-Rangers game Monday night at Joe Louis Arena.

“They flew in for that game,” Franzen said after practice Thursday. “He and three friends are going to do a little road trip. That was pretty cool they got to see that.”

Franzen said his uncle wanted to see the game in Ottawa because Senators defenseman Erik Karlsson is from the same town in Sweden.

“Same street, pretty much, so they know him, too,” Franzen said. “It was the first time we played each other in the NHL, too. That’s probably why they wanted to see that game.”

Franzen said his uncle didn’t get to say much afterward because Karlsson was standing there and he didn’t want to be rude.

Franzen had the puck from the fifth goal at his locker stall at Joe Louis Arena, but he was typically humble in discussing what he had accomplished. An NHL player hadn’t scored five goals since Minnesota’s Marian Gaborik on Dec. 20, 2007.

“You don’t get those nights very often,” Franzen said. “When they come along, you’ve got to make the most out of it.”

His teammates, though, knew he was in for a big night after his scored two goals 48 seconds apart in the first period.

“When he got those two quick, we were talking on the bench that this might be his night,” linemate Henrik Zetterberg said. “He’s a streaky goal scorer, and when you get two that fast, he usually has a good night.”

Franzen added two power-play goals in the third period.“Skating gets a lot easier, and the puck seems to find you

everywhere,” Franzen said. “Got a little extra confidence.“You shake your head after a while and say, ‘What’s going on?’

I’ll take it.”Franzen scored the fifth goal into an empty net at 19:26.

Zetterberg notched his third assist of the game on the goal and really wanted to set up Franzen for the fifth goal.

“I was on the wrong side of the red line,” Franzen said. “I didn’t want to miss the net and get an icing. But finally he got me one inside the blue line and I could go for the shot.”

Darren Helm #43

Red Wings’ Darren Helm gaining confidence, along with scoring touchAnsar Khan, MLive.comMarch 10, 2011

DETROIT -- Detroit Red Wings center Darren Helm isn’t sure if he is developing a better finishing touch but, lately, he buried some of the many scoring chances he creates with his speed and hard work.

Helm scored his third goal in his past five games Wednesday in a 2-1 loss to the Los Angeles Kings. He has 10 goals, one less than his career high set in 2009-10.

“Obviously, with experience comes confidence and knowing and believing in yourself that you can score on your chances,” Helm said. “I need to have more confidence in my shot. It’s better than I think it is.

“When you get a few extra chances, you want to bury them. I think our line’s been doing a good job creating chances.”

Helm said he is learning to be a little more patient when he gets his chances.

“I’m always going so fast that I don’t get a chance to think or get my head up or do whatever I need to do to score,” Helm said. “(Todd Bertuzzi) has been bugging me about it. A few other guys have talked to me about just getting your head up, taking a breath and not forcing too much, taking my time when I have the puck.

“You can’t take forever when you got it, but make sure you got your head up and see what’s there.”

As much as the club benefits from offensive contributions from grinders like Helm, coach Mike Babcock said it can’t come at the expense of his checking.

“Last game (Saturday), in the third period, their line was (minus-2). The way I look at it is if you score a goal and then you’re (minus-2), it doesn’t work for me,” Babcock said. “You got to look after defense first if you want to be successful in the end, and that’s his focus.”

That is particularly important on the penalty kill.“A few times, I got caught cheating, and you hear about it,” Helm

said. “You know yourself that you messed up, so you don’t really want to let your team down.

“But when that chance is there, I know, with my speed, I can beat a lot of D-men and jump on those pucks and get a good chance. It’s risk-reward to not force the issue. If it’s there, go. If not, make sure that puck’s all the way down.”

Osgood a maybe for SaturdayGoaltender Chris Osgood said he might return for Saturday’s

game in St. Louis, after missing two months following surgery for a sports hernia.

“I feel good. Everything’s as planned,” Osgood said. “Maybe for Saturday, if I feel really good. If not, I’ll be back for sure next week.”

Osgood said if plays Saturday, he likely would dress as the backup for Friday’s home game against Edmonton. If he is not ready this weekend, he might return next Thursday at Columbus.

Rafalski ‘cautiously optimistic’Defenseman Brian Rafalski (back spasms) said he’s closer to

returning.“I was able to do starts and stops today, skate with the team. It’s

a positive,” Rafalski said. “Cautiously optimistic and keep building it every day.”

Eaves still outRight wing Patrick Eaves (groin) probably won’t return until next

week.“I’m doing better than I was (Wednesday), skating with full gear.

Just trying to string a bunch of good days together,” Eaves said. “I’m hoping to at least get out there at the beginning of practice (Friday) and snap it around with the guys.’

Tomas Holmstrom #96

Tomas Holmstrom personifies toughnessTed Kulfan, Detroit NewsDecember 4, 2010

Anaheim, Calif.— The question wasn’t completely asked, and Kris Draper had to add something.

Tomas Holmstrom had just played his 900th career game.Draper, though, a teammate for all those games, wanted to add

an accurate opinion.“Nine hundred hardgames,” he said.Few players have taken the abuse Holmstrom has around the

net, the constant battles with angry defensemen and agitated goaltenders. Yet, every time, he gets up, continues to battle and comes back for more.

“Everyone in our dressing room realizes how hard he plays and



how hard he competes,” Draper said. “Some mornings you see him and wonder how he’s going to play.

“He just wills himself out there. His pain threshold is as high as I’ve ever seen with what he can put his body through.”

The fact Holmstrom has gotten to this point in his career, at age 37, is something of a surprise.

A former 10th-round pick (257th overall in 1994), not much was expected of Holmstrom.

But former coach Scotty Bowman saw a determination and bullheadedness that could translate into an NHL career.

“I’ll never forget it,” Holmstrom said. “Scotty told me to just get to the net and stay there. Don’t let anyone move you out. Just stay in front of the net.”

And few have been better doing that than Holmstrom.“Awesome, it’s absolutely amazing Holmstrom can play that

many games,” Red Wings coach Mike Babcock said. “He’s battled through injuries for a long time and he finds a way to keep on ticking.”

Much of the Red Wings’ success, said captain Nicklas Lidstrom, has been because of Holmstrom’s abilities around the net.

“He’s one of the best in the league at what he’s doing, tipping shots and creating traffic,” Lidstrom said. “It takes a lot of guts to go in front and battle.”

Holmstrom would love to reach 1,000 games, but that will depend on how healthy he remains, a problem in recent seasons.

“Through the years it’s been knees, back, hernias,” he said. “So I wonder how many games I’ve lost because of it.

“When it (1,000 games) happens, it happens. It would be a great feeling. One thousand would be the next step. That would be fun.”

Jimmy Howard #35

Jimmy Howard leads injury-riddled but resilient Red Wings past red-hot Canucks in shootoutAnsar Khan, MLive.comJanuary 9, 2011

VANCOUVER, British Columbia -- Injuries and a tough travel schedule figured to take a toll on the Detroit Red Wings on Saturday night.

But they showed tremendous resolve against the team with the best record in the NHL, edging the red-hot Vancouver Canucks 2-1 in a shootout at Rogers Arena for their sixth consecutive road victory.

Jimmy Howard was tremendous in goal, making 34 saves and, for the second night in a row, stopping all three shootout attempts.

Jiri Hudler fired a slap shot past Roberto Luongo for the only goal in the shootout, as Detroit snapped Vancouver’s eight-game winning streak.

“It was one of those situations we talked about as a team that if we could just hang around and hang around that we’d have a chance at the end,” Red Wings coach Mike Babcock said. “That’s what we tried to do, keep it close and keep it tight. We got good goaltending out of Howard, battled hard and ended up with good specialty teams to keep their power play from getting more.”

The Red Wings swept a three-game swing through western Canada for just the second time in franchise history. Detroit is 13-2-3 in western Canada since the start of the 2008-09 season.

The Red Wings will look to sweep their second consecutive road trip Monday in Colorado.

Daniel Sedin scored a power-play goal for Vancouver at 12:09 of the second period, but Johan Franzen evened the score 42 seconds into the third period, which energized the Red Wings.

“We just stuck with it,’’ Detroit captain Nicklas Lidstrom said. “We didn’t have any letdowns when they got their power-play goal. We stuck to our game plan and continued to work and Howie made some big saves when they looked like they had wide-open nets to score goals.’’

The Red Wings turned in the kind of strong defensive performance they were seeking in the absence of several key injured players. The latest to be sidelined was defenseman Brad Stuart, who’ll be out 6-8 weeks with a broken jaw.

The Red Wings had allowed three or more goals in six consecutive games and 11 of their last 13.

“We knew it’s going to be hard, we just had to be patient and grind it out, play great defensively and take what they give us,’’ Franzen said.

“We found an extra gear there,’’ Howard said. “This group is resilient. Even though there’s injuries and we’re missing key guys we’re not going to let those be excuses, and we found a way.’’

Lidstrom said the key was not opening up defensively.“We played well in our own zone and didn’t give them any odd-

man rushes,’’ Lidstrom said. “We slowly got our legs again and I thought that third period was one of our best periods.’’

Howard wasn’t supposed to play on back-to-back nights, but Chris Osgood tweaked a groin injury during the morning skate. Osgood will return to Detroit on Sunday and see a specialist in Philadelphia on Monday to determine if he needs surgery.

Meanwhile, Howard carried over the momentum from his strong performance during the latter half of Friday’s 5-4 shootout win in Calgary. He was out of his crease, challenging shooters, and made several big stops.

“I was just patient, out at the top of the crease all night long,’’ Howard said. “If they were going to get a goal I wanted them to work for it.

“It was a long month of December for me, the bounces not going my way. Instead of letting the puck play me I decided enough’s enough and just got out there and be aggressive.’’

The Red Wings, historically, have not fared well in shootouts (25-30). Hudler thought he’d try something different.

“I should have done that in Calgary, (but) the ice wasn’t good in Calgary, so I was just keeping it simple this time,’’ Hudler said. “I don’t think he expected that.’’

He said Osgood gave him some advice on the bench.“I talked to Ozzie about it,’’ Hudler said. “I got some spots I like

to shoot at, but Homer (Tomas Holmstrom) gave me a hard time a little bit on the bench, just told me look at whatever is open.’’

Franzen was open on his goal. Henrik Zetterberg made a nice saucer pass between two defensemen to spring Franzen free and he flipped a shot past Luongo.

“I came in with a lot of speed and Hank found my stick,’’ Franzen said. “It was a nice play.’’

The assist extended Zetterberg’s point streak to 10 games (five goals, nine assists).

Daniel Sedin’s power-play goal snapped a scoreless tie at 12:09 of the second period.

Sedin, from a sharp angle to the right of the Detroit net, fired in the rebound of a shot by his brother, Henrik, that was deflected in front of Howard.

Frustrated Red Wings defenseman Niklas Kronwall slammed his stick to the ice after the goal. He had a chance to clear the puck but tried to make a pass. It resulted in a turnover.

Kronwall would feel more frustration late in overtime, when his apparent game-winning goal was waved off because Todd Bertuzzi made incidental contact with Luongo.

It didn’t matter. The Red Wings accomplished their mission, despite the adversity.



“They’re a good team and they’re on a roll right now and we’re a real good team, too, but they’re deeper than we are right now,’’ Babcock said. “So if they got rolling tonight ... we were going to be in trouble.

“So the way we approached it was a good way, and in the end we got our points.’’

Jiri Hudler #26

Jiri Hudler finally getting his groove back with Red WingsHELENE ST. JAMES, Detroit Free PressFebruary 9, 2011

There’s disagreement among the Red Wings whether Jiri Hudler’s season abroad impacted his return to the NHL, but no argument that he seems at last to have found his groove.

Hudler helped ensure the Wings would enter tonight’s game against Nashville on a winning note with a goal and an assist in a 3-2 victory over the Rangers on Monday night. The goal was Hudler’s fifth of the season, the assist his 15th. While 20 points in 48 games isn’t impressive for someone making $2.875 million, it looks better when held up against the 12 points Hudler produced in his first 36 games.

“He’s been better, for sure,” coach Mike Babcock said. “He’s starting to compete more and more on the puck. It took him awhile to get going, longer than he anticipated, or longer than I anticipated, but we’ve always known he’s a good player, and hopefully he’s going to help us.”

Hudler, 27, spent last year in the Kontinental Hockey League, but after things soured with Moscow Dynamo, the Wings welcomed him back and Babcock figured Hudler would contribute around 70 points. Instead, Hudler had two goals in his first 30 games, rotating as a healthy scratch.

He has become a regular thanks to numerous injuries, but he has made good on his time with eight points in the past 10 games, and looked especially dangerous Monday with Danny Cleary and Pavel Datsyuk.

“When you look at it in the big picture, the guy went to Russia, which is a different level and speed than the NHL, and he had from March till October off,” Cleary said of Hudler. “It takes time to get back. He’s playing a lot better, he’s handling the puck better, he’s making more plays, he’s stronger on the puck. We said all along we’re going to need this guy, and he’s definitely playing well.”

Hudler said he feels better than he did in the fall, but disagreed his slow start is Russia’s fault, saying, “I never thought my season in Russia was a reason for the slump.”

Hudler did say his recent output was helped by a Russian export, however, as playing with Datsyuk has a way of making anyone look good.

“The best thing about Pav is, he’s very strong on the puck,” Hudler said. “If you take it from him, he’ll take it back right away. To play with Pavel Datsyuk, it’s really, really great.”

Jakub Kindl #4

Jakub Kindl ready for NHL after years in minorsRed Wings’ coach Mike Babcock says defenseman has skillsGEORGE SIPPLE, Detroit Free PressSeptember 16, 2010

Jakub Kindl would appear to be a lock as the seventh defenseman heading to training camp with the Red Wings, but he isn’t taking

anything for granted.Kindl, the 19th overall pick in the 2005 NHL draft, spent the last

three seasons in Grand Rapids honing his skills.He can no longer be sent to the minors without being exposed

to waivers.“I have to show everyone I can play in NHL and I really want to be

part of the Detroit Red Wings,” Kindl said. “I know what I got to do better. I been talking about it every year -- be better defensively. Get used to the speed and watching all the players practicing, I think it will help me a lot as well.”

Kindl came in early last year to prepare for training camp because he still had a place in Grand Rapids and trained with Justin Abdelkader at Michigan State. This year, Kindl decided to remain in his native Czech Republic, skating with his former club in Pardubice. He arrived in Michigan two days ago and Wednesday was his second day skating with the Wings at Joe Louis.

Kindl was minus-34 with three goals and 17 points in 75 games in his first full season with the Griffins in 2007-08 (he played three games for the AHL team in 2005-06). He was minus-14 with six goals and 33 points in 78 games in 2008-09.

Last season, he was minus-4 with three goals, 30 assists and 33 points for the Griffins. He made his NHL debut and played in three games with the Wings.

“Would still like to be plus than minus the whole time,” Kindl said. “I been playing a lot the last two years, playing every situation in the minors at least. Playing over 20 minutes a game at least.”

Wings coach Mike Babcock said Kindl should be a positive addition this season.

“He’s a big kid who can pass the puck and skate,” Babcock said. “The challenge for him now is to find the confidence to be an NHL player. There’s no question in our mind ... that he’s ready to play. But now the part is you got to decide you’re ready to play.”

Asked what Kindl needs to do to win his confidence, Babcock said: “He’s got my confidence. Now all he’s got to do is look after himself. That’s the biggest thing. No one ahead of him is giving him the job. Rusty Salei is coming here and it might take him a little bit to do what we do, but he’s a good player.

“We all know there’s lots of injuries in the National Hockey League. He’s here fighting for ice time and more opportunity to play.”

Niklas Kronwall #55

Niklas Kronwall approaching his peak performanceHELENE ST. JAMES, Detroit Free PressDecember 4, 2010

ANAHEIM, Calif. -- When Anaheim played the Red Wings earlier this season, the Ducks called Niklas Kronwall a dangerous player because of his hitting.

He has shown since how dangerous he can be with the puck as he’s contributed 10 points in his past 12 games. He had three shots on net in Friday’s 4-0 victory over the Ducks at Honda Center, as well as two hits and a blocked shot.

A quarter of the way through the season, he’d already accumulated five goals, two short of his career high, and on the whole is looking more like the player he was this time last year.

“He was playing outstanding then,” coach Mike Babcock said. “But I think he feels well, I think he’s skating well, and he’s competitive, and he’s involved offensive and defensively, so we obviously like how he’s playing.”

Kronwall, 29, was playing the best hockey of his career last season when he suffered a knee-on-knee hit. He returned 30



games later, aggravated the injury, missed another four games, and never returned to playing at the same level.

Now he’s close. He’s doing more with the puck, and he has adapted to new partner Ruslan Salei, who does a good job in his end. It has been a fresh start for Kronwall after a year defined by a sprained medial collateral ligament.

“After what happened with the knee, I was never able to come back to the feeling I had before I got hurt,” Kronwall said. “Right now, it feels like I’m going towards where I want to be. I think playing with Rusty is really keeping the game simple, and it feels good playing with him. It’s a work in progress.”

Babcock’s plans at the start of the season had Kronwall paired with Nicklas Lidstrom, but splitting the two provides a better balance of puck-moving and physical defensemen.

Kronwall is the one blue-liner on the team who excels at both -- he has a knack for upending opponents on open ice. When the Wings played the Ducks on Oct. 23, Kronwall so angered Teemu Selanne with a hit that Selanne called Kronwall “dangerous,” adding that “one of these days, somebody’s going to get him. I know that. It’s just a matter of time when.”

That he riles opponents to such a degree is just one of the reasons the Wings are so high on Kronwall. His offensive skill is another.

Nicklas Lidstrom #5

Red Wings’ Nicklas Lidstrom defies age with defensive playKevin Allen, USA TODAYJanuary 25, 2011

DETROIT Detroit Red Wings captain Nicklas Lidstrom continues to draw raves as the NHL’s best defenseman at 40 because he’s not playing the same game as everyone else.

“It’s like in racquetball when there’s a young guy chasing the ball while the experienced guy stands in the middle and waits for the ball to come to him,” says Edmonton Oilers general manager Steve Tambellini. “That’s how Lidstrom plays hockey.”

In a league where teenagers are becoming more commonplace, Swedish-born Lidstrom is the NHL’s third-oldest player and by all accounts performing like he’s in the prime of his career.

He was named to his 12th All-Star Game and picked as one of the captains who will choose up sides Friday for Sunday’s game in Raleigh, N.C. The four-time Stanley Cup winner has won six Norris trophies as the league’s top defenseman, and if the season ended today he probably would win a seventh. He even scored his first hat trick especially rare for a defenseman in December.

Lidstrom’s Norris Trophy count trails Bobby Orr’s (eight from 1967-68 to 1974-75) and the late Doug Harvey’s (seven from 1954-55 to 1961-62).

“In chess, they say you need to think three or four moves ahead,” says NHL vice president Brendan Shanahan, who was Lidstrom’s teammate from 1996 to 2006. “Nick would think eight or 10 moves ahead.”

John Davidson, St. Louis Blues president and former NBC analyst, calls Lidstrom “a hockey genius” based on what he saw on a trip to Detroit to do a feature on the complexities of Lidstrom’s game. Davidson realized Lidstrom’s anticipation, decision-making and vision for the game were more refined than others’.

“He thinks two or three seconds faster than everyone else,” Shanahan says.

Shanahan recalls Red Wings players made it a game in practice to try to make a pass over Lidstrom’s stick.

“It was a joke, really, because he would bat everything out of the air and then give you that little smile,” Shanahan says.

No one keeps pucks in the offensive zone better than Lidstrom. No one passes the puck out of the defensive zone with his precision. In one-on-one defensive situations, no one seems quite as effective as Lidstrom at tying up his opponent without drawing a penalty. Never a physical player, Lidstrom has 478 penalty minutes in nearly two decades of NHL employment all with the Red Wings.

“He pretty much dictates everything on the ice just by how he thinks and where he is,” Blues defenseman Erik Johnson says.

Chicago Blackhawks general manager Stan Bowman says the organization showed Duncan Keith video of Lidstrom to help him improve. Last season, Keith won the Norris Trophy and helped the Blackhawks to the Stanley Cup title.

“Lidstrom is so efficient,” Bowman says. “He just does exactly what he is supposed to do.”

Proud of heritageLidstrom has had a monumental run considering he came to the

NHL as a third-round pick who had no idea how long he would stay in North America.

“I didn’t have any real game plan, but my backup plan was that if it didn’t work out I would play in Sweden,” Lidstrom says. “I thought I would play a couple or three years here and go back.”

Now he has lived in the Detroit suburbs almost as long as in Sweden. His sons, Kevin, 16, Adam, 14, Samuel, 10, and Lucas, 7, have lived in the USA their entire lives.

When Lidstrom was named Detroit’s first European captain in 2006, Henrik Zetterberg— one of five other Swedes on the team joked Lidstrom was more American than Swedish.

But Lidstrom is a proud Swede. He spends offseasons in Vasteras, about an hour from Stockholm. In Michigan, his children attended a Swedish school part time to ensure they could speak and write Swedish fluently. He and wife Annika wanted their children to appreciate Swedish culture.

“Unless we have friends over, we talk Swedish in the house all the time,” Lidstrom says.

Annika says about the only time she talks to her children in English is if she is helping them with homework.

“But there are some English words here and there that we throw in because it’s harder to explain to them in Swedish,” Annika says.

The Lidstroms felt so strongly about providing their children with a Swedish upbringing that in 1999 Lidstrom considered going back to Sweden to play, even though he would be leaving millions of dollars behind. He makes $6.2 million this season on a one-year deal, and he couldn’t make one-tenth of that in Sweden.

“My oldest boy was about to go to school, and my wife and I weren’t really sure what to do,” Lidstrom says.

Finally, they spoke to a Swedish couple who had lived in Michigan. They said their kids adjusted well when they moved back.

“Coming to Michigan really wasn’t difficult,” Annika says, “because we were so young and everything was so exciting.”

Lidstrom says his children are more American than Swedish, but his oldest son persuaded his parents to let him play in a Swedish hockey academy this fall.

“It kind of surprised us that he had such strong feelings for Sweden,” Annika says.

Kevin Lidstrom saw only one downside to being in Sweden.“He just got his driver’s license here, but it’s 18 over in Sweden

so he has to take his bike to practice and school,” Lidstrom says.The Lidstroms have told their children the family will move back

to Sweden when Lidstrom’s career is over. But the Lidstroms will struggle to leave Michigan because it now feels like home.

“I’m kind of dreading that day,” Annika says. “It will be very difficult, because this has been our home for so many years and we have so many friends.”

Going strong



The good news is the Lidstroms don’t have to worry about that now. There is a sense around the Red Wings that Lidstrom might play until his mid-40s.

Detroit general manager Ken Holland says people asked him if Lidstrom lost a step last season, when the Red Wings struggled.

“I didn’t see it,” he says. “We didn’t have enough weapons up front (because of injuries), and I thought Nick kept us afloat.”

Lidstrom says he plans to take his career a season at a time, but Holland says, “I would sign him right now for two years.”

Lidstrom says he trains the same way he did 10 years ago. “I don’t feel 40,” he says. “I feel the same way I felt five years ago.”

Staying healthy and avoiding serious injuries also have contributed to Lidstrom’s longevity.

“I’m not an overly physical player,” he says. “I try to play my position the right way. I train in the offseason. I eat healthy, not a lot of burgers and pizza.”

Considering he has traditionally been better in the second half, he’s on a pace for one of his best seasons. He has 11 goals and 42 points in 48 games.

“He’s the best two-way defenseman in the world,” Holland says. “No one has better hand-eye coordination to knock down pucks. No one has more patience with the puck. He plays the game in his head at another level.”

Joey MacDonald #31

Joey MacDonald earning his WingsJohn Niyo, Detroit NewsMarch 28, 2011

They used to chant Joey MacDonald’s name, too.No, really, they did.A couple years ago, the Wings’ journeyman veteran was the No.

1 goalie for the New York Islanders, replacing the injured franchise goalie there, Rick DiPietro, and playing 49 games in the 2008-09 season. He made 17 consecutive starts in one stretch, earning NHL “third star” honors for the month of November, right behind Alex Ovechkin and Evgeni Malkin, who’d go on to finish 1-2 in the Hart Trophy voting that season.

Granted, MacDonald was playing behind the worst team in the NHL at the time, and playing in front of the smallest crowds in the league. Still, he admits, it was nice to hear his name called — “Jo-ey! Jo-ey!” the Islanders fans would yell — when the goalie at the other end of the rink was named Martin Brodeur or Roberto Luongo and not, say, Barry Brust or Mike McKenna.

“That was huge,” said MacDonald, who figures to hear his name called again tonight as the last man standing in the Wings’ net, with both Jimmy Howard (shoulder) and Chris Osgood (injured reserve) idled by injuries. “Before that, you’d get called up and you’d play a game or two here and there and you’d tell yourself, ‘Ah, I thinkI can be a backup in this league.’ But that year I basically started the season No. 1 and finished the season No. 1. And after that you’re thinking, ‘Yeah, I canplay in this league, and I can play against the best. So I think that was a big turnaround for me.”

Stuck in the minorsAnd yet there he was the very next season, stuck in the minor

leagues again, playing for the Toronto Marlies in the AHL and celebrating his 30th birthday in British Columbia with a game against the Abbotsford Heat. Lost in the crowded free-agency shuffle in the summer of ‘09, MacDonald had signed a two-way contract with the Toronto Maple Leafs. But as luck would have it, he spent all but six games in the minors.

So last summer he re-signed with the Wings, the organization that gave him his start as an undrafted prospect out of the Ontario Hockey League back in 2001. They knew him, and he knew them — he’d been with the franchise for six-plus years from 2001-07.

And this time around, the idea was for him to be the veteran starter in Grand Rapids, where he also could serve as a mentor for Thomas McCollum, the Wings’ 2008 first-round draft pick.

The idea was not, obviously, for MacDonald to be the Wings’ unquestioned starter in goal two weeks before the start of the playoffs.

“But you know what? It’s not like I got called up a week before the playoffs for the first time,” MacDonald said. “I’ve been here most of the year, and I think I’ve played pretty well. So I’ll just keep doing that and try to get the fan support behind me.”

And, well, what choice do they have right now, anyway? The only other option Sunday at practice was Jim Bedard, the Wings’ goaltending coach, and tonight against the Chicago Blackhawks, MacDonald’s backup will be McCollum, whose struggles got him assigned to Toledo of the ECHL last month.

“It’s a strange world,” said MacDonald, who boasts a 2.05 goals-against average and .928 save percentage. “When I signed here, you never know: You see goalies sit down in the minors the whole year and goalies not get hurt.”

The life of a backupAnd then you see years like this one, where Osgood has played

11 games — a nagging groin injury led to hernia surgery Jan. 11 and he’s still not back — while MacDonald has played 13, including the final 13 minutes Saturday night when Howard went down in a heap and MacDonald helped the Wings hold off the Maple Leafs, his most recent former employer.

“It’s tough to come in in relief, but that’s the life of a backup goaltender,” said MacDonald, who enters tonight’s game with a shutout streak of 109 minutes, 45 seconds that stretches over four games. “You have to be ready at all times and be able to keep your focus and do what you do.”

You have to be ready when the phone rings, too. Last week, the Wings reassigned MacDonald to Grand Rapids on Tuesday, with Osgood presumably ready to return as Howard’s backup. So MacDonald packed up his truck and made the trip back to Grand Rapids, where he skated with the Griffins the next morning, then went out to lunch at Olive Garden with his family — wife Alyssa, son Camden (6) and daughter Kendall (3).

He knew there was a chance he’d get called back up on short notice, but the morning passed with no word. It wasn’t until halfway through lunch that he remembered to check his cell phone in his coat pocket, “and I had about 10 missed calls” from his agent and the Griffins’ general manager, Bob McNamara.

“They said, ‘You’re backing up tonight, so get going,’” MacDonald said, laughing. “So we grabbed the food to go.”

He stopped home to pick up his suits, drove to Van Andel Arena to pick up his gear, and then headed east on I-96 and made it to Joe Louis Arena at 5 p.m. in time to be Howard’s backup against Vancouver. After 10 years and countless such trips, though, MacDonald laughs about the routine.

“I know when I was younger, you’d get frustrated when you’d get sent down,” he said. “But (when) people say, ‘You’re 31 and playing in the AHL,’ I’m like, ‘Yeah, but guess what? I’m still playing the game of hockey, a game I love playing.’ And look what happens this year. … When you do this, you’ve got to have a positive outlook. When you do go down, you just play. And if you perform well, your time will come.”

Well, it’ll come and go, actually. But for MacDonald, that’s all in a day’s work.



Drew Miller #20

Confident Drew Miller picks up scoring slack for injury-depleted Red WingsBy Ansar Khan, MLive.comJanuary 17, 2011

DETROIT — Drew Miller wants the Detroit Red Wings to rely on him for offense, especially when they are depleted by injuries.

Miller had a career-high three points (one goal, two assists) and a career-best plus-4 rating in Saturday’s 6-5 overtime victory against Columbus. He was not productive the first half of the season but is picking up the pace, with five points in the past three games.

“The first part of the season, I kind of put that behind me, point-wise, and I’m looking ahead to the next 40 games,” Miller said. “I want to get more points and be more offensive. That’s my goal for the second half, to get more points and continue to be solid defensively, be counted on to be a more safe, reliable player.”

The checking-line winger and penalty killer provided an unexpected boost last season with career highs in goals (10) and points (19). That is why he wasn’t happy to have one goal and five assists in the first 35 games.

“Millsie didn’t start the year great. He was minus. He wasn’t scoring,” coach Mike Babcock said. “Suddenly, he’s got his confidence and his role. He’s been an important guy for us for two years and we expect good things from him.”

Missing Tomas Holmstrom because of a broken hand, Babcock played Miller on the top line, with Henrik Zetterberg and Johan Franzen, for a few shifts Saturday. He then moved Miller to the third line, with Darren Helm and Kris Draper, and put Patrick Eaves on the top line.

“Millsie really skates good. I wanted to get skating right off the hop and then I was going to go to Patrick,” Babcock said. “Patrick can really shoot the puck. When you’re playing with Mule (Franzen) and Z (Zetterberg), you’re bound to have opportunities to shoot the puck.

“Millsie’s been real good with Helm and Draper, or Helm and Eaves, for two years now.”

Miller wants to be a versatile player who isn’t out of place on a scoring line.

“Whatever line you’re on, get out there and play my game and try to create some havoc in the offensive zone and work hard,” Miller said. “I pride myself on being able to play with any line. It’s something you got to do to stick on the team and play different roles.”

The club’s third and fourth lines have provided energy while injuries mount.

“We’re getting a lot more ice time. We’re getting to feel the puck, getting more confidence,” Helm said. “(Miller) is no different. He’s just playing well and playing with confidence.”

Said Miller: “The same thing happened last year. Guys got hurt and the same guys were able to step up and get the team through the games until our big players came back.”

Mike Modano #90

Mike Modano fitting in with Red WingsBy Scott BurnsideSeptember 24, 2010

DETROIT -- Somewhere in Mike Modano’s new place in Detroit, there is a slip of paper or Post-it note on which he has penciled in what he thinks he’s capable of producing in his new hockey home.

It doesn’t mean anything, necessarily, but is something to remind him of where he’s at, where he needs to go.

“I think you need to do that. I just need to know, see those things written down, and you wake up every day trying to accomplish them,” Modano said in an interview after the Wings’ workout at Joe Louis Arena on Thursday. “If they’re written down and you’re looking at them, I think it’s good for guys.”

So, what did the 40-year-old center write down?“I wrote down 20 and 30 -- 20 goals, 30 assists,” Modano said. “I

think with the talent and the possibility of playing a little power play there and whatnot, [it] could be close to that.”

The whole Modano-to-Detroit adventure is shot through with more than a little of the storybook, more than a little nostalgia, maybe even more than a little redemption.

Modano is from Livonia, Mich. He played youth hockey in the Compuware program in suburban Detroit before playing junior hockey in the Western Hockey League and being drafted with the No. 1 pick by the Minnesota North Stars in the 1988 draft. He never left the franchise, following it from Minnesota to Dallas in the summer of 1993. Never left, that is, until this past summer.

The Dallas Stars were headed in a new direction, and that direction didn’t include the franchise’s most recognizable face, the man who had brought the Stanley Cup to Texas in 1999.

So, not long after he turned 40, Modano signed with the Red Wings.

If fans and media are curious as to how this is going to turn out or how much the slick-skating center has left in his tank, so, too, is Modano.

“It was one of the main decisions in coming here, just to see how this thing would play out and how it would be and a change of scenery and try and have a successful season or two before I was going to be finished,” Modano said.

Detroit coach Mike Babcock isn’t so worried about what’s written on that sheet of paper as much as about getting Modano familiar with the system, getting him to feel comfortable with his linemates and the whole Red Wings family. If those things happen, Babcock is confident the points and goals will come.

Mike Modano signed a one-year deal with the Red Wings this past summer.

Although Modano’s production slipped in Dallas, where he had just 14 goals in 59 games last season and 15 goals in 80 games the season before, Babcock has put Modano in a position to succeed. It looks as if he’ll start the season playing with skilled and speedy Daniel Cleary as well as Jiri Hudler, who scored 23 times in his last NHL season and returns to Detroit after a one-year stint in the Kontinental Hockey League.

“Yeah, pretty special possibility there,” Modano said. “We’re just trying to get familiar with one another, just trying to get as much time on the ice together to kind of work the kinks out and the bugs and try to get familiar with what we’re trying to do and what each individual is comfortable in how they play and the tendencies they have.”

Cleary, whose seat is currently next to Modano’s in the Red Wings’ locker room, praised Modano’s shooting and puck-handling ability.

“Mo’s going to be great. He’s got good hockey in him still,” Cleary said. “He’s doing a lot more skating in camp than he needs to.”

As Modano continues to absorb the new system -- he likens it to the attack system employed in Dallas under Ken Hitchcock when the Stars won the Stanley Cup -- he has a lot of company at the seniors’table in the team dining room.

Nicklas Lidstrom is back at age 40; Kris Draper (though now injured) is 39; there are three 37-year-old skaters in Brian Rafalski, Tomas Holmstrom and Kirk Maltby, plus 37-year-old backup netminder Chris Osgood.



“It’s just tremendous drive,” Modano said of those players’ refusal to walk away. “A lot of success, obviously, and they love it. They keep working hard, just as hard as they did probably 10, 12 years ago. They’re driven. There’s purpose to when they come to the rink every day. It’s refreshing to see.”

Jan Mursak #39

Jan Mursak showing tenacity in call-up to WingsTed Kulfan, Detroit NewsJanuary 13, 2011

Detroit— Jan Mursak’s first NHL goal didn’t make any highlight shows.

But it was a hard-earned goal.“I don’t care how, whether it’s a nice goal or dirty goal, I’ll stand

there (in front of the net),” Mursak said. “I turned the right away and it was an open net. I was just happy it went in.”

The Mursak-Justin Abdelkader-Drew Miller line was one of the most effective in Monday’s loss to Colorado.

The unit worked hard, consistently battled for the puck, and made life miserable for the Avalanche.

“We played real good, played in their zone and did a good job grinding out their defense,” Mursak said. “It was fun to play. We didn’t let them create any speed. We didn’t play in our defensive zone.

“It was fun to play offense.”Called up from Grand Rapids to fill in for injured players, Mursak

has shown the type of tenacity to become an NHL regular in only eight games.

“Mursak is good at hanging on to the puck and protecting it,” captain Nicklas Lidstrom said. “He’s good around the net, too, and he got rewarded (against the Avalanche).”

MacDonald will get chancesRed Wings coach Mike Babcock was trying to get Chris Osgood

into a game a week, helping lessen the load on starter Jimmy Howard .

With Osgood out until March (sports hernia surgery), Babcock said things won’t change.

Joey MacDonald will take over Osgood’s role.“It’s not going to affect the rotation one bit,” Babcock said.

“Whenever Ozzie was supposed to start, I’m going to play MacDonald.”

Chris Osgood #30

Wings’ Chris Osgood deserves having his No. 30 sweater retiredTerry Foster, Detroit NewsFebruary 15, 2011

Detroit -- The ovation for Red Wings goalie Chris Osgood on Sunday afternoon was like many in the past.

It was filled with Detroit love.The Wings gave a nice tribute to Osgood for winning 400 games

and for his contributions to the team’s Stanley Cup titles the last decade. A video tribute showed many of his career highlights, and then Osgood stood at center ice with his family, as fans, teammates and members of the Bruins applauded.

And then it began. The chants and love for a hometown hero.“Ozzie!” Ozzie!”When Osgood hangs up the skates for the final time, there needs

to be one more ceremony for him. His No. 30 sweater should hang

in the rafters alongside Steve Yzerman’s, Gordie Howe’s and the other Red Wings legends.

Osgood has Hall of Fame numbers and is an icon in this community. Fans love Osgood as much as any athlete in recent memory. He’s the quiet and humble kid from Canada who never lost his youthful looks but matured into a man.

Always bouncing backHe needs to become a permanent marker of Detroit tradition, he’s

a player, an ambassador and supporter of Detroit. He doesn’t have a throwaway career. He is a Detroiter for life, even if he decides to move back to Canada when he’s done.

Osgood, 38, didn’t play in the Wings’ 4-2 victory over the Bruins on Sunday because he’s recovering from injury (sports hernia), but his presence was felt as the Wings battled from two one-goal deficits to post the victory.

You could feel Osgood’s presence. People love him whether he’s between the pipes or dressed in a black suit.

He stands 10th on the NHL’s all-time wins list with 401. He has three Stanley Cup titles, two of them as the Wings starting goalie. And he probably would’ve won the Conn Smythe Trophy as the MVP of the 2009 Stanley Cup Finals if the Wings had hung on against Pittsburgh.

But more importantly, Osgood’s career mirrors a line from that popular Chrysler commercial with Eminem, when the spot mentions Detroit going to hell and back. Osgood was always an underdog, and I remember being there for some of his walks through hell.

I was there was that time his rookie season when an errant clearing pass in Game 7 of the first round of the playoffs against San Jose found the stick of Jamie Baker who popped in the winning goal in overtime. Osgood wept after the game. He’s also given up goals from mid-rink.

Through it all, he always seems to bounce back.Detroit, Red Wings legendOsgood also is not always embraced by his coaches. They do

not always believe in him. That’s why Mike Vernon, Curtis Joseph, Dominik Hasek and even Jimmy Howard were given shots to win Stanley Cups ahead of Osgood.

But if they fail, he is there to step in and thrive.Sometimes Osgood is like that shy kid at the high school prom

who no one asks to dance. But when someone finally does, they usually enjoy the show. He’s as much a fabric of this community as anybody. He has partied with fans, taken time to talk and listen to their stories and did his best to earn those “Ozzie” chants.

I look forward to the day when we hear “Ozzie” one more time as we all look up to the rafters and see his No. 30 hung forever.

Brian Rafalski #28

Brian Rafalski returns with a flourishTed Kulfan, Detroit NewsMarch 17, 2011

Detroit— Forget about the notion that players need to slowly work their way back into effectiveness when returning from injury.

Brian Rafalski certainly smashed that notion Wednesday night against Washington.

Rafalski, returning from an eight-game absence (back spasms), assisted on all three goals in the 3-2 victory over the Capitals.

“I felt good,” Rafalski said in an apparent understatement. “You try to take advantage of the opportunities and try to do the right thing.”

Rafalski played 19:10 and was plus-2, with one blocked shot to go with his three assists.



“It’s good to see him come back,” goalie Jimmy Howard said. “For our lineup and the power play, it’s nice to have him back there. He makes a great first pass out of the zone.”

The Wings are undoubtedly a better team with Rafalski in the lineup, coach Mike Babcock said, but the key is to keep Rafalski healthy.

He had minor knee surgery near the start of the season, and was troubled recently by the back.

“Raffy is a real good player and if he’s healthy he’s a lot better player,” said Babcock.

Rafalski noted it’s important for himself and the Wings to get focused on the playoffs a few weeks away.

“You want to make sure you’re playing well,” he said. “Everyone is healthy right now, so we want to focus on the right things.”

Helm productiveMost players tend to think offense when they’re on the ice.Darren Helm is the exception.“For me, I try really hard to not think about scoring goals,” said

Helm, a defensive-minded forward who has already tied his career high of 11 goals.

Helm has his most success when he’s quietly going about his business of checking, and using his explosive speed to hound opponents.

“When I’m playing hard, working hard, and skating is when I usually get my most chances to score,” he said.

It’s been working lately.Helm, 24, has three goals in his last five games and four goals

in his last eight.He always has had the blinding speed. But until the past few

months, that speed would sometimes lead to a breakaway attempt with an empty scoring chance.

Now, Helm has learned to take that extra second with the puck, slow things down, and bury some of those scoring chances.

“With the way things are going right now, I am more confident,” he said. “I feel good out there with and without the puck.”

But saying that, Helm can’t be trapped into thinking offense first.“When I get into a mind-set like a skilled player, I get in trouble,”

he said. “I have to make sure I’m playing my game and let things fall where they may.

“Definitely each year I want to keep getting more confident and comfortable out there playing, with and without the puck and being able to make plays. If I can make more of an impact each year, produce more, and at the same time making sure other parts of the game they want me to play — the energy and playing physical — don’t dwindle, I could have a long career.”

Ruslan Salei #24

Gritty Wings defenseman Ruslan Salei driven by familyTed Kulfan, Detroit NewsNovember 17, 2010

Detroit— Ruslan Salei is a rough and tumble, no-nonsense defenseman.

But mention his kids, and Salei is anything but tough. Especially since they all live in Southern California.

“It’s difficult, it really is,” said Salei, 36, who signed with the Red Wings during the offseason. “It’s difficult on my wife, my kids. I miss them. They miss me.

“You can’t describe how tough it is. When you make the decision to do this, you’re thinking we’ll be seeing each other here and there during the season, but it’s so tough on a daily basis. It’s even tougher than you’d think it would be.”

Salei and his wife, Bethann, decided the family (Alexis, 5, and Sandro, 3) would remain in California this season.

Salei was drafted by Anaheim in 1996 and played there through the 2003-04 season. His family finally moved to Denver last season when Salei played with Colorado.

“She’s from California,” Salei said of his wife. “We had just moved from Denver, and we all felt more comfortable with them staying there. The kids were in their schools.

“My daughter is a little California girl. She likes warm weather. She didn’t really want to move anymore.”

Luckily, the Red Wings will be in Southern California soon.Beginning on Dec. 1, the Red Wings will be based in the Los

Angeles area as they play the Kings and Ducks.“That’s the time we really have to take advantage of, spend it

together,” Salei said. “We haven’t made any other plans.”

Brad Stuart #23

Brad Stuart thrives in Red Wings’ cultureHELENE ST. JAMES, Detroit Free PressNovember 8, 2010

VANCOUVER, British Columbia -- As he sat in the stands watching practice earlier in the week, Chris Osgood made a comment about Red Wings teammate Brad Stuart.

“He’s got to be one of our top pick-ups, ever,” Osgood said. “That guy is unbelievable. He’s so good for us. He practically plays goal for us sometimes the way he stands right in front of the net on PKs and angles his stick.”

Stuart capped his 31st birthday Saturday with his sixth assist of the season in the 6-4 loss to the Canucks at Rogers Arena, putting him on pace for a career season.

A former first-round draft pick of San Jose’s, Stuart already was a highly regarded player when the Wings traded for him in February of 2008, but he has hit his stride in Detroit.

“It’s been a great transition for my career, for sure,” he said. “I feel like in the last three years I’ve become a much better all-around player and a lot of that has to do with the guys in this room and the coaching staff. It’s been a good move for me.

“Just the general atmosphere and culture in here, I think it’s helped. Just being ready to be your best every day, whatever that entails, that’s something I’ve tried to pick up on. Guys here are going top speed every night.”

The Wings acquired Stuart because they wanted another physical defenseman, and Stuart has delivered with crushing open-ice hits. He’s someone the team wants Jonathan Ericsson to emulate.

“Stuie, to me, is excellent,” coach Mike Babcock said. “He’s come here and he’s found his role and his comfort level in his career. We’re hoping E is going to evolve into something like that - big, physical, hard guy, can play with the puck, takes great pride in punishing people and being really solid defensively.”

While Stuart’s role is to be the stay-at-home D-man, be it opposite longtime partner Niklas Kronwall, sometime partner Nicklas Lidstrom, or future partner Brian Rafalski (the two will be united when Rafalski returns from a knee injury next week), Stuart has shown himself capable with the puck, too. He’s got a monster shot from the point and had six points, along with a plus-six rating, after 11 games.

“It’s going to sound odd,” he said, “but I’m more comfortable with my sticks now. It makes a difference when you have confidence in your tools. But, I just think my overall game is probably better at this point in my career.”



Tomas Tatar #21

Red Wings’ Tomas Tatar scores goal in NHL debut, hours after callup from GriffinsAnsar Khan, MLive.comJanuary 1, 2011

DETROIT -- The Detroit Red Wings thought they landed a gem with the 60th overall pick in the 2009 NHL entry draft, when they selected skilled Slovakian forward Tomas Tatar.

He impressed them during his first training camp three months later and turned pro ahead of schedule at age 19, spending the season with the Grand Rapids Griffins as the youngest player in the AHL.

He is leading the Griffins in scoring this season and appears to have a bright future.

Tatar made his NHL debut Friday and scored his first goal, tipping in a shot by Darren Helm to tie the game with 9:42 to play in the third period. The Red Wings lost to the New York Islanders 4-3 in overtime, but it was a memorable night for Tatar.

“It really surprised me because I was on the ice with the Griffins (for practice Friday), but my coach (Curt Fraser) called me from the ice and told me I would play tonight for the Red Wings,’’ Tatar said. “I was ready for the game. I was kind of nervous, but after the first couple of shifts I felt so much better.’’

He was called up to replace Patrick Eaves, who was scratched due to an undisclosed upper-body injury that has him listed as day-to-day.

“He’s got a passion for the game and good offensive instincts,’’ Red Wings assistant general manager Jim Nill said of Tatar. “He thinks the game well. There’s an energy to his game. He’s the first guy in the corner getting the puck. He goes to the net.’’

Tatar has good speed, can beat a defenseman one-on-one and has a nice finishing touch.

For now, the Red Wings will be happy if he provides energy and plays well defensively during his limited ice time, which was coach Mike Babcock’s message before the game.

“I like all the young guys in training camp,’’ Babcock said. “I watch them, say it’s a nice play, and then we dig (the puck) out of our net. We send them to the minors so they learn to stand in the right spots.’’

Tatar (5-foot-10, 185) has nine goals and 20 assists in 35 games for the Griffins.

Red Wings forward Justin Abdelkader spent part of last season in Grand Rapids with Tatar and was impressed by his skills.

“I think he can play anywhere they put him,’’ Abdelkader said. “He’s young so he’s still learning a lot, but he’ll be a player that’ll come in and I think can contribute right away. He can hang onto the puck and fits in well in our system.’’

Henrik Zetterberg #40

Henrik Zetterberg: The overlooked superstarTony Gallagher, Vancouver ProvinceJanuary 8, 2011

With Pavel Datsyuk hurt, Henrik Zetterberg has switched on another gear to keep the Detroit Red Wings rolling along with their customary dominance.

Photograph by: Chris Lee, MCT filesThis constant banter about how Sidney Crosby and Alex Ovechkin

are the two best players in the game these days is really nothing

more than inexcusable hype.It leaves out a lot of players but the one that really sticks in your

craw is Henrik Zetterberg.This guy might well have a dial on his body and when more is

needed, he simply adjusts the switch and he gives the Detroit Red Wings more.

Look what happened the moment Pavel Datsyuk went down the last time the Canucks played the Wings in Detroit Dec. 22. From that moment on Zetterberg immediately picked things up and the Wings scarcely missed a beat.

They went into last night’s game a point behind a team that’s won everything there is to win over the last 20 games and they’re doing it without one of the best players in the game. And the great Swede who battled against the Sedin twins as a youngster has done it all with a sore back.

Has there ever been a better performance than the one Zetterberg produced on the way to the Wings’ Cup in ‘08. The guy made a mockery of the Smythe Trophy balloting that year with a show that included goals, points, game winners and a couple of 5-on-3 individual penalty-killing performances the likes of which this agent hasn’t seen in 40 years of watching the game. He was breathtakingly good.

Ovechkin hasn’t won dick, his team has underachieved this year largely because he hasn’t shown up yet, and HBO is all over the guy. No slight to the outstanding Caps star, but enough.

How about that game in Detroit last month? Datsyuk goes down, so Zetterberg decides to get the tying and winning goals that very night. And he hasn’t stopped carrying this team the way Ryan Kesler did the Canucks for a couple of weeks a while back. He does it all the time.

“Basically he just decides we’re going to win,” is the way his coach Mike Babcock put it recently when talking to the Detroit media.

“I don’t really know whether I have a switch on me,” Zetterberg chuckles. “Every season over the course of the games you have your ups and downs. But when you see what’s going on and guys go down, you kind of see a need. You begin to play more so you’re out there more and when you have so few guys, I think you just kind of naturally respond to that need.”

“Hank always does that,” Chris Osgood recently told the Detroit News. “He’s one of those players that when we need him the most he’s always there. He’s an all-around player, a team leader. When Pavel goes down, he’s always stepped up his game. He’s our leader. Nick’s our captain but Hank is one of our leaders too.”

At the outset of the season, he said he wanted to put up more points this season. As a result he’s on pace for 90-plus, which would pretty much equal his career best 92 in ‘07-’08. But look at the goofy playoff numbers: How about 91 points in 97 games to go along with a plus-35 over that span.

When the rest of Zetterberg’s reinforcements get back into the lineup, there can be no doubt this Detroit team is going to be a mean piece of business in the playoffs, no matter whom they end up playing. And here’s the best recommendation of all.

“I think when you look at all the guys we have, all the lines that can score and seven deep on D, this is probably the best team we’ve had since I’ve been here. That doesn’t mean you’re going to win of course. It takes so much to win. It’s such a long road and you need so much to go right.

“There’s been times I thought we were going to win it and then the next thing you know you’re standing by a tee box at some golf course wondering what just happened and you don’t always have an answer. Having won it, we see both sides of what can happen and I think that’s one thing that will help us this year. Many of us have seen what it takes to win.”
