season games in NHL history:

4. Toronto – 2,671 

MIKE AND MARIAN ILITCH CELEBRATE THEIR 30TH YEAR AS OWNERS OF THE RED WINGS 

Mike and Marian Ilitch are currently in their 30th 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. 


2011-12 Season Review Continued 

A WINNING TRADITION IN HOCKEYTOWN! 

Since the start of the 1997-98 season, the Detroit Red Wings have won more games (788) than any 

other team in the NHL. Detroit’s 682 regular season victories and 106 playoff wins are both tops in 

the NHL over that span. 

READY FOR ANOTHER RUN AT LORD STANLEY’S CUP! 

The Red Wings defeated the Columbus Blue Jackets by a score of 7-2 at Joe Louis Arena on March 26, 

securing a spot in the 2012 Stanley Cup Playoffs in the process. Detroit has now earned a franchiserecord 

21 consecutive post-season berths, a mark which also stands as the longest active streak 

in all of North American major professional sports (2nd longest - NBA’s San Antonio Spurs, 15 

seasons). Detroit also extended their NHL record for most consecutive 100-point seasons with a 3-2 

shootout win over St. Louis on April 4.

Ilitches don’t forget amateur roots with Winter Classic festivities 

Boys and girls youth, junior teams to get ice 

By George Sipple 

Red Wings owner Mike Ilitch made it clear Thursday that the state 

of Michigan would be well represented in the activities leading up to 

the 2013 Winter Classic. 

“We’re proud to show the world why we love Hockeytown,” Ilitch 

said. “I can promise you, there will be something for everyone.” 

The Winter Classic will pit the Red Wings against the Toronto 

Maple Leafs on Jan. 1 at Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor. 

In the weeks before the game, Comerica Park in Detroit will 

host numerous events as part of the inaugural Hockeytown Winter 

Festival. 

Boys and girls youth and junior hockey games will be played at 

Comerica Park starting in mid-December. 

Ilitch long has been associated with youth hockey through his 

Little Caesars Amateur Hockey League. 

“We are hopeful to host a youth hockey tournament during 

this time period and, let’s face it, youth hockey has a long, storied 

tradition in our community,” said Chris Ilitch, president and CEO of 

Ilitch Holdings and son of Mike Ilitch. “A lot of great hockey players 

have come through amateur hockey rinks in Detroit, so to have our 

amateur (teams) involved in this is a must, so we’re going to do it, 

and it’s going to be a lot of fun.” 

College hockey will be represented when Michigan Tech, 

Michigan State, Michigan and Western Michigan play in the Great 

Lakes Invitational at Comerica Park. The annual tournament 

usually is played in the last week of December at Joe Louis Arena. 

“To be able to showcase and bring together in a festival 

atmosphere all levels of hockey in Michigan, it will just really show 

the world how important the sport is to our state and to our city,” 

MSU coach Tom Anastos said. “I think this is terrific, this whole 

concept of having a hockey fest and then the (Winter Classic) game.” 

Anastos is no stranger to big hockey events as former 

commissioner of the Central Collegiate Hockey Association. 

When the Big Chill at the Big House set a Guinness record for 

attendance in 2010, Anastos said an NHL event at Michigan Stadium 

was “inevitable.” 

The Ontario Hockey League and American Hockey League also 

will have games at Comerica Park. OHL games scheduled: the 

Saginaw Spirit vs. the Windsor Spitfires and the Plymouth Whalers 

vs. the London Knights. AHL game scheduled: the Grand Rapids 

Griffins vs. the Toronto Marlies. 

“We’re excited about it,” Whalers coach Mike Vellucci said. “I think 

it’ll be a great opportunity, and hopefully we get the details in the 

next couple of weeks. 

“There’s something for every fan. ... There’s a variety of hockey. 

This will be a good opportunity for everyone to get a taste of 

something they haven’t seen before.” 

Perhaps one of the most anticipated events will be an alumni 

game between past Wings and Leafs at Comerica Park. 

John Collins, the NHL’s chief operating officer, said the 

Hockeytown Winter Festival would make this Winter Classic 

unique. Collins said about 200,000 people were expected to attend 

the Winter Festival and 115,000 fans would go to the Winter Classic. 

“All in all, you’re talking about 300,000 to 350,000 for basically 

a month’s worth of hockey events,” Collins said. “It’s phenomenal.” 

Organizers said ticket prices and dates for the Winter Festival 

games had not yet been determined.

Under His Wing: Red Wings General Manager Ken Holland 

reached the top of his game by knowing when to be patient, and 

when to shoot the puck 

By Tom Murray - HOUR DETROIT APRIL 2012 

It’s a game day at Joe Louis Arena and the Red Wings are on 

the ice for the morning skate, a time-honored ritual for hockey 

players to break a sweat, get in a light workout, and make final 

preparations and adjustments for that evening’s opponent. Pavel 

Datsyuk weaves fluidly through a series of figure-eights, the puck 

yo-yoing on his stick as he plays a game of maddening keep-away. 

Johan Franzen man 

euvers a puck between his skates, seemingly oblivious to the 

teammate hovering over his back, chuckling as he shrugs him off 

and kicks the puck off the boards to a waiting line mate. 

While a half-dozen Wings pelt a goalie at the far end of the ice, 

Tomas Holmström is parked in the blue paint at the opposite net, 

facing Nicklas Lidström and a handful of other defensemen who rip 

slap shots toward him as Holmström expertly maneuvers his stick, 

tipping pucks into the net. 

Taking it in from the stands is Red Wings General Manager Ken 

Holland, who has just been asked how the Wings have managed 

to be the most consistently successful franchise in the National 

Hockey League for 25 years. “It’s all about patience,” says Holland, 

his voice gruff and raspy, watching Holmström angle his stick to 

redirect another shoulder-high shot into the opposite lower corner 

of the net. “Because we win, we’ve had the ability, the luxury, to be 

very patient.” 

Since 1987, the Wings have missed the post-season playoffs just 

twice and won the Stanley Cup four times, an achievement made 

even more impressive by the fact that their last top-10 pick in the 

league’s annual entry draft was more than 20 years ago. That 

means Holland and his staff of scouts and advisers have had no 

opportunities to even consider picking elite prospects, like Sidney 

Crosby, Alex Ovechkin, or Steven Stamkos. Instead, the Wings scour 

leagues in North America and Europe, searching for unknown or 

overlooked players with the talent and potential to one day play for 

the team. But there’s no rush, Holland emphasizes, as is the case 

with many other NHL franchises. 

“When you’re missing the playoffs,” he says, “and your fan base 

is getting irritated and the media is applying pressure and the 

owner wants success, as a coach and as a manager, you’re making 

decisions not based out of patience. You’re trying to rush and hurry 

the program. But you can’t hurry the development of people.” 

To do so is a recipe for futility, frustration, and, ultimately, failure, 

as Holland knows all too well. 

Drafted in the 12th round by the Toronto Maple Leafs in 1975, 

Holland was a goaltender who grew up in British Columbia whose 

only dream — one shared with so many Canadian boys — was to 

make it to the NHL. He bounced around the minor leagues for years, 

undersized at 5-feet-8-inches and barely 160 pounds, he was 

relentless and indefatigable, determined to get his shot. 

“I would say to you in my humble opinion that, in my last three or 

four years of pro, I was a very, very good minor-league goaltender.” 

Holland says. “But it took me four or five years to get to that point. 

I was a late bloomer. I didn’t have a ton of confidence and I had to 

slowly believe in myself.” 

Holland’s moment finally arrived with the Hartford Whalers 

during the 1980-81 season, on the grandest stage: Madison Square 

Garden, against the New York Rangers. 


DETROIT RED WINGS NEWS CLIPS CONT. 

“I remember that night like it was yesterday,” Holland says. “The 

coach asked me how I felt. My heart was going a hundred miles an 

hour. I’d waited a lifetime for that chance. I said, ‘Yeah, I’m ready to 

go.’ First period, I think they had 12 shots. We’re losing 1-0, but I felt 

good. And I remember sitting during the first intermission, saying to 

myself, ‘I’ve arrived, I can play in this league, I know I belong here.’ ” 

Holland shifts in his seat and slowly shakes his head. “In the 

second period, the Rangers got 21 shots on goal. They scored five 

more times on me. So now we’re down 6-1.” 

He manages a rueful smile, as the memory of a cruel night 

washes over him — again. 

“I remember,” Holland continues, “sitting during the intermission 

after the second period thinking, I’ve blown my opportunity, I’ve 

waited my whole life to get here and I’m never going to get back. So 

I’m really going to enjoy the third period because I’m never going to 

be back in the NHL ever again.” 

He was right — almost. After allowing seven goals that night, 

Holland slipped backed into the oblivion of the game’s bush leagues 

for another three years, before getting one last promotion during 

the 1983-84 season. By that time, he was in the Red Wings system. 

“By then, I’m 28, 29 and I know,” Holland says. “I’ve been around 

pro hockey for so long, my window of opportunity was this big.” He 

holds up his thumb and forefinger, a fraction apart. 

Holland got into parts of just three games for the Wings, allowing 

10 goals. In his heart, he knew his playing days were over, but still 

he wasn’t ready to quit or retire. Then Jim Devellano, the team’s 

general manager, called to tell him that they weren’t going to resign 

him as a player but there was an opening for a western scout. 

Was he interested? 

“My wife wasn’t crazy about the idea,” Holland says, “because 

we’d been traveling so much and we had three kids under the age 

of 5. But I said it’s what I know best.” 

He worked his way up, from western scout to head scout to 

Devellano’s assistant, rubbing elbows every day with Jimmy D 

and coach Scotty Bowman — ”like going to the Harvard of hockey,” 

Holland says — before finally succeeding Devellano between the 

Wings consecutive championships in 1997-98. 

Now he’s at the helm of one the greatest franchises in sports, 

considered the best manager in the game. He’s dapper in tailored 

suits these days, but Holland is a rink rat at heart, happiest when he 

settles into a seat high in the stands, watching a practice, a game, or 

some prospect, evaluating, wondering if the kid has what it takes to 

make it all the way,never forgetting his own wrenching experience. 

“I was that kid,” he says. “I had nine years of aspirations and I got 

a cup of coffee in the NHL. And I think if somebody had a little more 

time, maybe I could have made it ...” 

He lets that thought hang for a beat. “But they didn’t have time,” 

he says. “That’s why you can’t wait long enough, you know what I 

mean?” 

When the Wings game begins that night, Holland is in his 

customary spot, at the far end of the press box, a restless and 

fidgeting mess, keeping one eye on the ice as he checks a constantly 

jangling BlackBerry, gulps on a water bottle, and flips the remote 

from one hockey game to another on the two TV screens hanging 

before him, all the while tapping or spinning an elegant silver 

ballpoint, his “stress pen,” on the counter. “A bee in a jar,” is how 

Wings coach Mike Babcock describes him. 

The regular season is winding down and Holland is doing his 

usual delicate dance, obligatory this time every year, trying to 

decide if he needs to make any moves before the trade deadline to 

help his team win another cup. The average age of the Wings hovers 

near 30, oldest in the NHL. Questions abound: Does he make a deal? 

Is Lidström going to play another year? Does the goaltending need 

shoring up? Is that kid on the blue line in Grand Rapids ready to 

move up to the big club? Tinker or sit pat? 

The stress pen is a blur. Tap. Tap. Tap. Spin. Spin. Spin. A final, 

furtive glance at the BlackBerry. One last gulp from the water bottle 

and it slams down as the final buzzer sounds on yet another Wings 

victory during their record-setting home winning streak (23 games) 

this season. 

Then he’s gone, bolting down to the bowels of The Joe, through 

that first hallway adorned with team rosters and photos of Shanny, 

Stevie Y, Drapes, and so many others. A quick left and down another 

hallway, this one dark and paneled, under the sign that says “To 

Whom Much Is Given, Much Is Expected,” and past more plaques and 

history: Mr. Hockey and Terrible Ted and The Uke and many more 

icons of the game. He enters the inner sanctum, the locker room, 

with its photos of 11 Stanley Cups lining one wall, more images 

of Wing greats covering the others, and those few empty lockers 

held by names from the glorious past. There’s no celebratory music 

blaring in here; the only perceptible background noise is the sound 

of grunts and weights clanging from the adjacent workout room. 

“I know when I got traded here, it took me quite a while to figure 

it out,” says hulking forward Todd Bertuzzi. “Even as a veteran. 

They do things a lot different here. I think it’s the rink itself; it just 

smells success and it smells work. And it obviously starts with our 

ownership and comes down to Kenny and it just leaks down from 

there.” 

Holland chats with Holmström, cornered by reporters at his 

locker, blood oozing from a bandage on the bridge of his nose, 

broken yet again on this milestone night — his 1,000th game in a 

Wings uniform. And there he is with Lidström, who tonight becomes 

the all-time active leader in games played for the franchise. Only 

Gordie Howe played more. Holland moves on, working the room 

with a quick talk, a handshake, a slap on the back. 

“He cares, you know?” Holmström says. “He treats everybody 

really good. It’s like there’s a red thread through the organization, 

from the ownership to the general manager and all the way down.” 

Well past 11 p.m., the locker room has emptied out and Holland 

heads along the concourse toward his car and home. He bumps 

into Babcock. Earlier in the day, the coach had emphatically said 

his boss “doesn’t toot his own horn enough. He doesn’t get as much 

credit as the best in hockey, bar none. He’s a first-ballot Hall-of- 

Famer.” 

But now it’s time for levity between friends. “You still working 

on that article?” says Babcock, feigning incredulity with a wink and 

a grin for the writer who’s been tailing Holland most of the day. 

“Geez,” he adds, after an impeccably timed beat, “he’s not that f--ing 

interesting, is he?” 

The men guffaw and fall into step with each other. The coach with 

a bag slung over his shoulder and the manager with his head full 

of possibilities and options and decisions. It has been a good day, 

but tomorrow looms, and that silver stress pen is still twisting and 

turning in Holland’s hand as he and his coach head into the night.

Defining Mike Babcock 

By Steven Lampert & Christopher Nardi 

MCGILL UNIVERSITY TRIBUNE 

“Regular” is not a word to describe Mike Babcock. It’s the 

opposite of regular to be the only coach in NHL history to have won 

an Olympic gold medal, a World Championship gold medal, and a 

Stanley Cup. In the eyes of professional sports, Mike Babcock is 

anything but regular. 

The Tribune sat down with Babcock, a McGill graduate, for an 

exclusive interview to discuss his hockey roots, life as a Red Wing, 

his Olympic experience, and life off the ice. 

Roots 

Babcock began his playing career at the University of Saskatoon, 

but took a gap year to pursue his dream of becoming a professional 

hockey player. Realizing his chances of playing in the NHL were 

slim, he decided to resume his academic and university hockey 

career at McGill as a visiting student following heavy recruiting by 

Head Coach Ken Tyler. Babcock doesn’t take his McGill experience 

for granted. 

“I’m proud to have gone to McGill. When I was here, I didn’t know 

what McGill was about,” Babcock explained. “I didn’t know that 

everyone I met studied harder than me and had a plan way different 

than mine. That affected my life. I’m thankful to have been part of 

something bigger.” 

After graduating with a bachelor’s degree in physical education 

in 1986 and brief playing and coaching stints in the Western 

Hockey League (WHL), he landed a coaching job at the little-known 

University of Lethbridge in Alberta. He didn’t expect much from the 

opportunity, but the experience turned out to be a launching point 

for his career. 

“That wasn’t my dream job, that was the only job I could get,” 

Babcock said. “The Lethbridge administration were cutting their 

program. We went there; they had never been in the playoffs. We 

won the national championship. It was a miracle. That was the best 

job in coaching I’ve ever done. Things just came together. That gave 

me impetus.” 

His improbable success in leading Lethbridge to the CIS 

championship propelled him back to the WHL before being selected 

as Head Coach of Team Canada during the 1997 IIHF world junior 

championship. They won gold and his success opened doors to the 

NHL. He was hired as the bench boss of the Anaheim Mighty Ducks 

in 2002. 

From the onset of his NHL coaching career, Babcock found 

success. He guided Anaheim to the Stanley Cup finals in only his 

first season behind the bench, and his existing relationships with 

the Red Wings’ front office from coaching their American Hockey 

League affiliate in Cincinnati led to his hiring in Detroit in 2005. 

Life as a Red Wing 

Hard work is what brought Babcock to Detroit, and over the years, 

this same principle became the foundation on which the Red Wings’ 

organization is now built. One of these principles, particularly 

stressed by Babcock, is a team-first environment. 

“The Red Wings is bigger than anybody … it’s about the team. 

When you come to our team, the veterans run the show, not the guy 

you trade for. He doesn’t affect the culture. He just fits in,” he said. 

“What we try to do is create a demanding, supportive environment.” 

Working in a city known as Hockeytown, Babcock is fully aware of 

the expectations for his team and the pressure that accompanies 

it. The Red Wings currently hold the record for the longest streak 

of postseason appearances in all of North American professional 

sports (1991-2011). Yet, this doesn’t seem to faze management, the 

players, or Babcock. 

“There is pressure, but what pressure in life means is that you 

have a chance. If you’re 15 teams in the league, there’s no pressure. 

Is that what you want?” Babcock asked. “To me, pressure is a great 

thing, makes things exciting. We have a chance because we have 

good players, we’re well-structured, have good management, and 

that leads to healthy pressure.” 

Though Babcock underplays the role of pressure in such a 

hockey-crazed city, it inevitably remains a strong presence in the 

locker room. Playing through a gruelling 82-game season, with 

extra exhibition and playoff games, Babcock consistently needs to 

find ways to motivate his team in order to bring them together on 

a nightly basis. 

“Motivation, in my mind, is ‘what’s in it for me?’ Now, how do you 

get 23 people to find what’s in it for them and be on a team? You 

give up some individual rights for team rights, but the reality is, they 

all still want to be important. That’s what I do, I manage people.” 

The Olympic Experience 

His ability to bring together such a dynamic group of talented 

players is what earned him the trust of Team Canada’s management 

team. He was named Head Coach of the men’s hockey team for the 

Vancouver 2010 Olympics. Once the roster was set, Babcock began 

the difficult task of turning 23 star players into the world’s best 

hockey team all the while keeping egos in check and managing the 

tremendous expectations from Canadians. 

“It wasn’t an all-star team, it was a team,” Babcock explained. 

“The best team wins at the Olympic games, not the best talent.” 

To illustrate this point, Babcock recalled a story from the summer 

player selection camp that set the tone for the rest of the journey. 

“Steve Yzerman said something unbelievable at the summer 

camp. He said to the guys, ‘The management team, Ken Holland 

has more experience than I have, and so do Doug Armstrong, Kevin 

Lowe, and they’ve been willing to take the title of assistant. Ken 

Hitchcock has more experience than I have, and so do Lindy Ruff 

and Jacques Lemaire, and they’ve all been willing to take the title 

of assistant. If you think your ego is getting in the way of anything 

going on here, you’re wrong. It’s cut off now.’” 

Despite the pressure, Babcock was overwhelmed with the 

immense support Canadians offered him and his team throughout 

the Olympics. Following their loss to the US during the preliminary 

rounds, Babcock spoke about how each player’s family offered 

immeasurable support, which combatted the intense negativity of 

the Canadian media. 

“When we lost to the US, we went to the Hockey Canada House 

that night where the families were waiting, and I always joke that 

we won something that night. The people were unbelievable.” 

Thanks to the incredible support they received, members of 

Team Canada were able to turn the pressure of winning into the 

impetus behind their run to the top of the podium. The loss to the US 

served as a reminder that there were other teams who were driven 

by the same forces. 

“Every championship we’ve ever won, something went wrong 

and we got through the adversity, we stuck together and we got 

better because of it,” Babcock noted. 

Babcock beyond the game 

Babcock stresses the fact that work has never become a burden 

because it’s his passion. 

“It’s all about finding something you love so much that you don’t 

work, because you can’t work as much as you need to in order to be 

the best … It’s impossible, because the amount of hours you have to 

put in, you can’t do it if it’s work. You have to live it.” 

He is aware of the heavy time commitment that his job demands, 



so he feels the need to give back to his family and create lasting 

moments. One of these moments came in 2009, when the 

Chicago Blackhawks welcomed the Red Wings to Wrigley Field 

to participate in the annual NHL Winter Classic, the league’s only 

outdoor event. For Babcock, the experience was unforgettable in 

many regards, from being able to play in such a renowned field to 

having the opportunity to skate with his family before the game. 

These opportunities were his way of giving back to his family and, 

in the meantime, celebrating the game of hockey. 

“Memories to me are about moments in your life. You don’t 

remember half of the stuff, but you remember moments. That’s 

a moment. That’s what you’re trying to do, you’re trying to create 

moments in your life. That’s what you think of.” 

There are rumours that next year’s Winter Classic will be held in 

Detroit, something that Babcock would love to experience. 

Defining Babcock 

Throughout his life, Babcock always earned his opportunities. 

With his incredible success, it would be simple for him to be satisfied 

with his accomplishments and become complacent. Yet, what 

defines Mike Babcock is not what he has accomplished, but the fact 

that he has never lost sight of the principles that have guided him. 

In turn, he has always managed to transfer his disposition onto his 

players and coaching colleagues, translating attitude into success 

on every level. 

“There are a lot of coaches [and] players that do it one year and 

don’t work the next year. I’m not interested in that. Every single 

year we have to find a way to make it happen. If we do what we did 

last year, that’s not good enough. That’s the other thing. As soon as 

you get complacent, people are going past you. That’s life, but it’s 

exciting.” 

#2 Brendan SMith 

Red Wings’ Niklas Kronwall: Brendan Smith has ‘all the potential 

in the world’ 

By Helene St. James 

SAN JOSE, Calif. -- The result wasn’t the kind that makes for 

a memorable NHL debut, but at least Red Wings defenseman 

Brendan Smith finally got into a game. 

He had to watch five of them while suspended this season, in 

between being called up from the minors, but got tagged to play 

in Thursday’s 5-2 loss to the Sharks at HP Pavilion as the Wings 

hoped to take advantage of his all-around versatility. 

Smith, a prize draft pick from ‘07, played just under 20 minutes. 

Coach Mike Babcock had clear instructions for Smith, 22, before 

the game began. 

“What I want from Smith is, just come out and play,” Babcock 

said. “Get the puck going, and skate and be assertive. Be confident. 

That’s the kind of kid he is anyway. Play your game. But don’t come 

out here and be cautious and be careful.” 

What Smith, the 27th overall choice, lacks in experience, he 

makes up for with a great shot and solid hockey sense. He played 

most of the game opposite Niklas Kronwall. 

“He’s got all the potential in the world,” Kronwall said. “He’s going 

to be a really good player in this league. He just needs to keep it 

simple right from the start, and we’ll be fine. He does have a lot of 

upside offensively, and we need that from him. Whenever he has a 

chance to join the rush, he needs to be able to do that.” 

Kronwall, 30, usually plays with Brad Stuart, 32, but the Wings 

already are missing top-four defenseman Ian White, and didn’t 

want to have Smith with Jakub Kindl, since that would pair two very 

young guys. The switch “makes me feel way too old,” Kronwall said, 

smiling. 

Both Smith and Kronwall are very offensive oriented, and both 

have a physical edge to their game, the kind of edge that can send 

an opponent crumbling to the ice. 

The two gained some familiarity from practicing together 

Wednesday, but Kronwall also has kept an eye on Smith during the 

past two training camps. From the start of this season, there hasn’t 

been any question of whether Smith would play with Detroit, just 

when. 

When he found out it was a certainty Thursday morning, Smith 

immediately called his parents, Lester and Deirdre, in suburban 

Toronto. They, along with Smith’s older brother, Rory, were to fly in 

for the game, making the night more special for Smith. 

“I get to play with Niklas Kronwall,” he said. “That’s unbelievable. 

I’m just going to take everything from him and listen to him. The 

biggest thing is I’ve got to try to make those first crisp passes, those 

easy plays, and then get myself into the game. Then I can do some 

of the stuff that’s gotten me here.”

Red Wings happy with pairing of defensemen Jonathan Ericsson, 

Jakub Kindl 

By Ansar Khan 

DETROIT -- The Detroit Red Wings would not have paired Jonathan 

Ericsson and Jakub Kindl together on defense last season because 

of their inexperience. 

But they have formed a solid third pairing through four games. 

Kindl leads the team with a plus-6 rating, Ericsson is second at 

plus-5. 

“They’re getting games under their belt and they’re playing well 

for us,” Red Wings coach Babcock said. “They’re two huge guys — 

one is 6-foot-5 (Ericsson), the other is 6-3 (Kindl), and they’re both 

over 220.” 

Kindl simply said they’re keeping it simple. 

“Be solid defensively, don’t get beat one-on-one, move the puck 

and join the rush,’’ Kindl said. “We’ve played together in the minors 

before (in Grand Rapids). He’s the one who’ll tell me what to do 

basically. He’s the one leading the charge. We’re both protecting 

each other.’’ 

Kindl has taken a significant step in his second season. 

“He’s playing with confidence, he’s competing hard, he’s stronger, 

he’s making plays, he’s not (avoiding) going into corners,” Babcock 

said. “He’s got a skill set, but you got to be comfortable at the (NHL) 

level, you got to get your confidence and then it starts to show. When 

you have a good game, it builds and leads to another good game.” 

Kindl started training camp as the seventh defenseman. Mike 

Commodore’s knee injury created an opportunity, and Kindl has 

seized it. It is Kindl’s job to lose. 

“Mike knows it’s pro hockey, you got to come back and then you 

got to win yourself a job,” Babcock said. “When people are playing 

good the opportunity is good and when people aren’t playing good 

the opportunities are better. I don’t think anyone wishes their 

teammates don’t play well, you just get yourself prepared.” 

Commodore said he’s not likely to be available this weekend. The 

Red Wings play at Washington on Saturday. 



#5 nicklaS lidStroM 

Red Wings star Nicklas Lidstrom in rarefied air 

By Kevin Allen, USA Today 

When Detroit Red Wings defenseman Nicklas Lidstrom kills an 

opponent’s scoring chance, it’s the NHL’s version of the perfect 

crime. 

There’s no evidence of foul play; he committed 10 minor penalties 

in 82 games last season. There’s never a body, because heavy 

hitting isn’t Lidstrom’s forte. And there is never any eyewitness 

testimony, because victims usually aren’t sure what happened to 

them. 

“He’s a wonder of the world,” Dallas Stars right wing Brenden 

Morrow said. “I don’t know why he’s as successful as he is, because 

he doesn’t overpower people. But somehow he always manages to 

get done what he needs to get done.” 

That’s the simplest explanation for why Lidstrom, who will turn 

42 during next spring’s playoffs, has a chance to win his eighth 

Norris Trophy to tie Hall of Famer Bobby Orr’s thought-to-be-safe 

NHL record. 

“He’s been so good for so long, maybe they will rename it the 

Lidstrom Trophy instead of the Norris now,” Colorado Avalanche 

defenseman Erik Johnson said. 

The most remarkable aspect of Lidstrom’s collection of Norris 

trophies is that he didn’t win his first one until he was 31. Since 

then, he has won seven of the last 10. His seventh Norris tied him 

with Hall of Famer Doug Harvey for second on the all-time list. 

Lidstrom was second among NHL defensemen with 62 points 

last season, and he was probably first in frustrating his opponents 

with his defensive know-how and his knack for being where he 

needs to be. 

“He is always in the right position,” Johnson said. “I remember 

once he wasn’t even moving and I had the puck, and I almost got 

knocked off balance because he was in such perfect position with 

his stick. I couldn’t make a play. I was like, ‘Wow.’” 

Even under post-lockout rules, when tying up a player is usually 

penalized, Lidstrom has found a way to blanket a player without 

running afoul of the referees. 

“Maybe it’s just that he is so much smarter than everyone else,” 

Morrow said. 

Usually, defensemen with good offensive numbers don’t receive 

enough credit for their defensive prowess, but Detroit assistant 

general manager Jim Nill indicates the opposite is true for Lidstrom. 

“I don’t think he ever gets enough credit for how skilled he is,” Nill 

said. “His skating is unbelievable. That’s why he makes it look so 

easy. He is such a great skater. You can’t beat him.” 

It’s not as if Lidstrom is a dazzling, end-to-end player like Orr 

was or that he can fire the puck at supersonic speeds like Zdeno 

Chara can. But Lidstrom can thread a shot through the cracks in 

a goaltender’s armor, and nobody seems more adept at sneaking 

in the back door on the power play. When the puck heads to the 

opposite side of the ice, point man Lidstrom likes to slide down to 

within 12 feet of the net. He has surprised more than one goalie by 

going deeper into the offensive zone than you would expect from a 

player who prides himself on his defensive work. 

“He’s the definition of the wily veteran,” Chicago Blackhawks 

captain Jonathan Toews said. 

Minnesota Wild center Mikko Koivu said it was nearly impossible 

to get around Lidstrom. “His reads are perfect,” Koivu said. “He has 

such great hockey sense.” 

It seems as if Lidstrom’s mental game is in a different realm. 

“All of that experience adds up to him having a comfort zone 

or relaxed nature out there,” Toews said. “If he makes a mistake, 

it’s not the end of the world. And normally he’s going to make 

something out of nothing half of the time.” 

Toronto Maple Leafs general manager Brian Burke has called 

Lidstrom the best first passer in the game. 

“He gives you the pass right when you are thinking, ‘Now,’” Detroit 

center Pavel Datsyuk said. 

Overflowing desire might also be at the heart of Lidstrom’s NHL 

success. Coach Mike Babcock reduced Lidstrom’s ice time this past 

season (to an average of 23 minutes, 28 seconds a game) in the 

name of keeping Lidstrom fresher for the playoffs. When Lidstrom 

talked to coaches and general manager Ken Holland after the 

season, he said he thought he could handle more playing time. 

“Nick is used to going to the bench, getting 45 seconds of rest 

and being ready to go out there again,” said Holland, who seemed 

supportive of Lidstrom’s request. 

Lidstrom played nearly 30 minutes a game earlier in his career 

and was playing almost 27 minutes a game in 2007-08 when the 

Red Wings last won the Stanley Cup. He averaged 24:49 in 2008-09 

and 25:26 in 2009-10. 

“I think Nick wants to play in the mid-20s and to be out there in all 

of the key situations,” Holland said. 

Lidstrom said he discussed it with Babcock and the coach said he 

could play more than he did last season. 

Looking to play more 

“I’m ready to play more minutes if they need me to,” Lidstrom 

said. “I know I can play more minutes, maybe not close to 30 

minutes every night like I did 10 years ago. But they can get a few 

more minutes out of me if needed.” 

Lidstrom’s durability and conditioning have always been beyond 

reproach. In 19 previous NHL seasons, he has never missed more 

than six games in a season. He hasn’t missed a game in the last two 

regular seasons. 

At 190 pounds, Lidstrom is slightly heavier than when he 

launched his career in 1991-92. 

“My weight has probably been the same the past 15 or 16 years,” 

he said. “I was a young kid when I came over, and I added about 6 

or 7 pounds of muscle.” 

During the season, he usually loses 4 or 5 pounds. “It’s hard for 

me to keep the weight on, especially in the playoffs if I’m playing a 

lot,” Lidstrom said. 

Lidstrom’s durability also comes from his uncanny ability to 

avoid heavy bodychecks. 

“I chased him around for the first eight years of my career and 

couldn’t catch him,” Morrow said. “You can’t get a good hit on him.” 

Recalling when he was Anaheim Ducks GM, Burke said, “We went 

as hard as we could at Lidstrom, but he is hard to hit because he’s 

too smart.” 

At this point Lidstrom takes his career one season at a time. The 

Red Wings waited longer last summer for him to commit to playing 

again, but everyone expected him to return because he continues to 

play at a high level. He said his decision to keep playing partly came 

down to having the ability to train in the summer to keep his body 

where it needed to be. 

“It was about the same this summer,” he said, chuckling. “It’s 

hard, but it’s been hard for a lot of years. The summer training has 

to be hard to get ready for a long year.” 

Does this mean the decision to continue playing is becoming 

harder? “We will just have to wait until next summer to see,” 

Lidstrom said. 

“Mentally, if he wants to play, he can play as long he wants to 

play,” Nill said. 

Different look for Wings 

Although the Red Wings weren’t major players in the free agency, 



adding Ian White and Mike Commodore, Lidstrom said the team felt 

different to him this season. Brian Rafalski, Chris Osgood and Kris 

Draper, all younger than Lidstrom, have retired. 

“Those are guys that I’m used to being around all of the time,” 

Lidstrom said. “I’ve been with Ozzy and Drapes since the early 

1990s. They are still in the room, but Drapes has slacks and a nice 

shirt on and Ozzy doesn’t have the goalie stuff on. They are still with 

us, but it is different from my perspective.” 

Lidstrom is not motivated by the pursuit of individual trophies, 

meaning the pursuit of Orr’s mark won’t be on his mind this season. 

“It’s never been a goal of mine to win the Norris Trophy,” he said. 

“My personal goals are always just to play at the highest level I can 

and not tied to any record.” 

Burke is among Lidstrom’s admirers: “I’m sure those Norris 

Trophies don’t mean anything near as much to him as his (four) 

Cups do. He’s had team success, individual success. He’s been a 

leader on his team. He’s a quality person in his community. This is 

what hockey is all about. He’s a poster boy for the NHL. Even though 

I hate when we play against him, I’m glad he’s playing another year.” 

Although Lidstrom is far too modest to address his Norris 

success, the rest of the hockey world can marvel at Lidstrom’s 

ability to challenge Orr’s mark. 

“It’s not like he was winning those trophies and he was just in the 

league by himself,” Nill said. “He’s had to go head-to-head against 

Ray Bourque, Scott Niedermayer and (Chris) Pronger.” 

Brian Leetch, Chris Chelios, Paul Coffey, Rob Blake, Al MacInnis, 

Chara and Duncan Keith also won the Norris during Lidstrom’s 

career. 

“There is no doubt that he is the best defenseman of his 

generation,” Holland said. 

No one is trying to compare Lidstrom to Orr because Orr changed 

the NHL forever by showing the impact of a premium rushing 

defenseman. 

“But,” Holland said, “the fact that Lidstrom is even mentioned 

with Bobby Orr means he’s a special player.”

Red Wings’ Justin Abdelkader shows he can shuffle lines, 

positions to help team 

By Ansar Khan 

DETROIT -- The Detroit Red Wings’ Justin Abdelkader wants to 

be a versatile player who can be counted on to play any forward 

position, on any line. 

After playing right wing on the third line the first seven games of 

the season, Abdelkader has been moved to the fourth-line center 

spot. 

“Abby is a real good player for us,” coach Mike Babcock said prior 

to Friday’s game against San Jose. “I’m not sure if he should be on 

the fourth line. Maybe he should be on the third line. But anytime 

you don’t win, you change things around to try to win. 

“I don’t know if it’s the best thing for Abby, but it’s the best thing 

for our team.” 

Abdelkader started the season on a line with Darren Helm and 

Todd Bertuzzi. He played with Drew Miller and Tomas Holmstrom 

on Friday. Cory Emmerton, who centered the fourth line the first six 

games, has been a healthy scratch the past two. 

“I didn’t like (Patrick) Eaves and Holmstrom together on the 

fourth line; I didn’t think there was enough skating there,” Babcock 

said. “Eaves and Miller are real important on our penalty kill, and 

right now I’m not sure if (sitting Emmerton) is the right thing to do, 

because he’s a real good player.” 

Abdelkader played center throughout his career at Michigan 

State, with the Grand Rapids Griffins and in Detroit, until late last 

season. He said the switch from wing to center is easy. 

“I hope I can be the type of player who can play wing or center. 

They can count on me at either position,” Abdelkader said. “It’s a 

little different game when you’re playing in the middle of the ice, 

you have the puck a little more. In the (defensive) zone, you’re down 

low a little more. 

“Fourth line, third line, wing, center, whatever I can do to help the 

team win, I’ll do.” 

He’ll be taking a lot more faceoffs now, after taking only 17 

the first seven games. It’s an area where he showed significant 

improvement last season, winning 52.8 percent of his draws, 

compared to 46.5 percent in 2009-10. 

“Sometimes it can be tougher, when you only take one or two a 

game (as a winger), to get into a groove,” Abdelkader said. “When 

you take more faceoffs during a game, you kind of know the 

tendencies of the other guy. You have a little feel for it, too. 

“Last year I was working with (Kris) Draper quite a bit, just taking 

draws against Helmer and Fil (Valtteri Filppula) and Pav (Datsyuk), 

bounce some ideas off each other.” 

Abdelkader leads the club with 21 hits. He is expected to continue 

playing physical at center. 

“I’d like him to be more physical than he’s been,” Babcock said. “I 

think that’s for our whole group. I thought (Tuesday at Columbus), 

we weren’t physical at all. 

“If you’re not going to be physical, if you’re not going to get on the 

forecheck, you’re going to have a hard time winning in this league.” 

#11 dan cleary 

Danny Cleary clicks with 2 goals in Red Wings victory over 

Penguins 


PITTSBURGH -- Danny Cleary played the sort of game Tuesday 

that makes his coach happy: Kill penalties. Shoot the puck. Go to 

the net. 

Cleary’s reward was his first two-goal game of the season -- 

both in the third period -- to help the Red Wings beat the Penguins, 

4-1, at Consol Energy Center. 

“I thought Clears was outstanding,” coach Mike Babcock said. 

“Six shots on goal tonight, two goals. Just did all things right.” 

The Wings have counted on Cleary for points the past few 

seasons, but he had such a sluggish start this season that he lost 

his top-six forward spot and landed on the third line. He has found 

good chemistry with Darren Helm at center and either Chris Conner 

or Justin Abdelkader on the opposite wing, though, and has scored 

four goals in the past eight games. 

“It’s not good to see -- it’s awesome,” Pavel Datsyuk said. “I love 

it. If lots of lines score, it helps us. Danny score two, it’s awesome. 

Now, it’s a fun locker room.” (Datsyuk was asked next about the 

team’s defensive play, but he wasn’t done talking about Cleary, 

saying, “Sorry, I am little bit thinking about Danny Cleary still. Can 

you repeat question?”). 

Cleary is a good skater and responsible defensively, and he is 

valuable as a checker and penalty killer, especially against the 

Penguins, who were 0-for-4 with the man advantage. But for a 

guy who was second on the team with 26 goals last season and 

is a three-time 20-goal scorer, seeing the puck go in is satisfying. 

Cleary scored his first when he skated into the slot and redirected a 



centering pass from Conner, then weaved in for an empty-net goal 

with seconds remaining. 

“I’m playing a lot of penalty kill, not playing on the power play, 

so for our line, it’s important to be good five-on-five, give energy, 

be good defensively,” Cleary said. “You can see as Conner’s gotten 

more comfortable in the lineup, he seems to be making more plays. 

He’s a talented little player, tenacious on the puck. He made a nice 

play there.” 

Bylsma big on Wings: During a news conference Tuesday morning, 

Pittsburgh coach Dan Bylsma segued from a brief injury update on 

his team ( Sidney Crosby still out with concussion symptoms) to 

the night’s opponent. “Detroit Red Wings, I love to talk about them,” 

he said. Being from Grand Haven, it’s a lifelong habit, plus he used 

to play for Babcock in Anaheim. “We watch the Red Wings a lot,” 

Bylsma said, “whether it’s because I grew up in Michigan and being 

a Red Wings fan, or because they’re an elite team and a better team. 

I try to learn something from everybody, and I learned a lot from 

Mike Babcock as a coach, and am still watching their team, and still 

watching what they do to see if there’s not something there.” 

#13 Pavel datSyuk 

Red Wings’ Pavel Datsyuk happy to be No. 1 All-Star pick 

While it might not have surprised his NHL colleagues, being 

picked first in Thursday night’s All-Star draft shocked Red Wings 

forward Pavel Datsyuk. 

“I’m surprised, really surprised,” Datsyuk told Red Wings TV. “Of 

course I’m happy. My legs a bit shaky, but it’s ... I’m so happy.” 

Datsyuk got another surprise when he joined team captain 

Zdeno Chara on stage and was embraced by the hulking Bruins 

defenseman. 

“More a big hug than big hit on the ice,” Datsyuk told Red Wings 

TV. 

So who’s the best player at the All-Star Game? 

Of the 42 All-Star players in attendance, the consensus top pick 

leans toward Datsyuk. 

“His talent is probably as good as anybody’s,” said Chara, the 

Boston Bruins defenseman who selected Datsyuk first overall in 

the All-Star draft a day earlier. 

“I remember we had a game against him in Boston, and he was 

on a short-handed situation and made two or three guys look like 

Peewees. ... He just does stuff that really makes you go, ‘Wow, that 

was special.’” 

Red Wings goalie Jimmy Howard went a step further when it 

came to praising both Datsyuk and Pittsburgh’s Evgeni Malkin. 

Though acknowledging his bias regarding Datsyuk, Howard 

believes the two are “best in the world.” 

The soft-spoken Datsyuk accepted the praise in familiar fashion: 

with humility. 

And he cracked a big smile when asked what he’d feel like if he 

was selected the All-Star game’s MVP. 

“If it happens, it might be I don’t have any dreams any more,” said 

the 10-year NHL veteran and seven-time 20-goal scorer. 

When it came to mentioning whom he’s rooting for, Datsyuk 

listed Malkin, Tampa Bay’s Steven Stamkos, and then noted how 

special it would be for the Senators duo of Daniel Alfredsson or 

Jason Spezza to succeed in their hometown. 

“So far it’s four,” Datsyuk said. “It’s enough or you want more?” 

Datsyuk will handle the puck-control portion of the skills 

challenge relay for Team Chara. He’ll also participate in the 

elimination shoot-out. 

Howard, also on Team Chara, will compete in the fastest skater 

and elimination shoot-out. Rangers rookie Carl Hagelin (U-M) will 

compete for Team Alfredsson in the fastest skater and elimination 

shoot-out contests. 

The skills competition is tonight, and the All-Star Game is Sunday 

in Ottawa. 

#14 GuStav nyquiSt 

As Red Wings’ Mike Babcock considers playoff lineup, Gustav 

Nyquist makes a strong case 

ST. LOUIS – Detroit Red Wings coach Mike Babcock has a couple 

of lineup decisions to make heading into the playoffs and will use 

the final two regular season games to decide. 

Skilled rookie forward Gustav Nyquist has made a strong case to 

remain in the lineup, at least at the start of the postseason. 

“That’s my goal, but I’m taking it one game at a time, just trying 

to do my best,’’ Nyquist said. “Playing with the players I’ve been 

playing with makes it a lot easier. They’re both great players, I learn 

a lot from them.’’ 

Nyquist has played the past eight games, and 11 of 13, for the 

Red Wings. Jan Mursak has been a healthy scratch the past four 

games. 

Nyquist has cooled off (no points in four games), but continues 

to impress with his ability to hang onto the puck and create scoring 

opportunities for his teammates. He had good chemistry with 

Pavel Datsyuk, on a line that also includes Johan Franzen. During 

the second period of Wednesday’s 3-2 shootout win over St. Louis, 

Nyquist was moved down to the third line, with Justin Abdelkader 

and Danny Cleary. 

“Every league he’s ever played in, he’s been an elite, elite scorer,’’ 

coach Mike Babcock said. “So you’re hopeful he can come to the 

NHL and do the same thing. 

“When I saw him in training camp I thought he was an NHL 

player right away. When I saw him in exhibition, he played against 

(Pittsburgh’s Jordan) Staal and (Chris) Kunitz with Mule (Franzen) 

and Bert (Todd Bertuzzi) and he dominated the game. He’s a top-10 

scorer in the minors in his first year. If you go through all the minor 

league scorers, the top 10 guys are all veteran guys, it doesn’t 

happen (for a rookie).’’ 

Nyquist no longer is in the top 10 among AHL scorers because 

he’s spent so much time in Detroit. But he still was named 

Wednesday to the AHL all-rookie team, after averaging more than 

a point a game for the Grand Rapids Griffins (22 goals, 36 assists 

in 56 games). 

Third-line center Darren Helm (sprained MCL on March 17) is 

expected to return midway through the first round. When he does, 

Babcock might have to decide between taking out Nyquist or fourthline 

center Cory Emmerton. 

“Obviously, Helm would make a big difference to our team and 

would adjust our lineup totally,’’ Babcock said. 

Babcock said he still has a decision to make on defense, too. 

Kyle Quincey, who served a one-game suspension on Wednesday, 

apparently hasn’t secured a permanent spot. Babcock said before 

Wednesday’s game that he likes how Jakub Kindl has played 

recently. But Kindl did not play well against the Blues and will be 

scratched from the lineup Thursday against New Jersey. 

Brendan Smith, who’ll join the team once Grand Rapids is done, 

made a strong case for himself during a recent 11-game stretch 

with Detroit 



#18 ian White 

Defenseman Ian White fits in nicely as Red Wings’ replacement 

for retired Brian Rafalski 

By Ansar Khan 

ST. PAUL, Minn. -- Signing Ian White to a relatively modest deal, 

compared to what other free-agent defensemen were commanding, 

is proving to be the right move for the Detroit Red Wings. 

White has made a smooth transition to the Red Wings’ style 

of play, fitting in seamlessly as Nicklas Lidstrom’s new defense 

partner. 

“So far, it seems to fit my style,” White said. “They’re such talented 

forwards that if you can find (an opening) as a D-man, they’re going 

to find you and you’re going to give each other a lot of chances. 

“It’s a lot more fun once you get going and see these guys in 

action (and) how good our team is.” 

The Red Wings are 4-0. They have dominated puck possession, 

which has helped them limit goals against (five goals allowed in 

four games). 

White, who needed stitches to close a cut on his chin after being 

checked into the boards by Cal Clutterbuck during the first period 

of Saturday’s 3-2 overtime victory at Minnesota, has been strong at 

both ends of the ice. He has two goals, tying him for the team lead 

with Johan Franzen and Jiri Hudler, and an assist. 

“It feels good anytime you can score and help out, but being 4-0 

is more important,” White said. “We’re really feeling good about 

ourselves and got to keep plugging.” 

The Red Wings signed White, 27, to a two-year, $5.75 million 

contract on July 2 to replace the retired Brian Rafalski. They don’t 

expect “Whitey,” as he’s called by teammates, to be as productive as 

Rafalski, who had 35 goals and 169 assists in four seasons, but he 

will contribute some offense and he’s more gritty. 

He also is the right-handed shot the team needed and Lidstrom 

wanted. 

“It’s still kind of a learning process, but I think it’s been clicking 

real well,” Lidstrom said. “Him being right-handed makes it easier 

going D-to-D and making passes at the blue line, so I think it’s been 

a good fit. 

“He’s a good puck-mover, he’s aggressive in his own zone, he’s 

very competitive. He’s hard to beat one-on-one. He has quickness, 

especially in his own zone, getting on players and being aggressive.” 

White said it’s easy being paired with Lidstrom. 

“He’s always there when you need him,” White said. “He’s always 

backing me up, giving me an option to (pass) it to him. That’s close 

support out there. 

“Even in between whistles, if there’s an adjustment we need to 

make, he’ll let me know. Just his hockey sense and how smart he is 

on the ice makes everything easy for me.” 

White also is paired with Lidstrom at the points on the first 

power-play unit. The power play is off to a shaky start -- Johan 

Franzen’s overtime goal Saturday is the only power-play goal in 19 

opportunities -- but they feel it’s only a matter of time they break 

through. 

Having played for former Red Wings assistant coach Todd 

McLellan most of last season in San Jose, White is familiar with 

Detroit’s style. And the Red Wings knew what they were getting 

with White. 

“We knew he had good skill,” Franzen said. “(General manager) 

Ken Holland knew that, too, that’s why he’s here.” 

#20 dreW Miller 

Drew Miller goals usually mean good things for Detroit Red 

Wings 

Brendan Savage 

DETROIT – Seeing Drew Miller in the goal-scoring column is a 

good sign for the Detroit Red Wings. 

Miller has scored in 11 games this season and the Red Wings 

have won eight of them. 

The latest victory came Sunday at Joe Louis Arena, where Miller 

bagged his career-high 12th goal in the second period of a 3-2 

victory over the San Jose Sharks that hiked the Red Wings NHLrecord 

home winning streak to 23 games. 

It was Miller’s fifth goal in 10 games. 

That’s a big change for a guy who went 17 games without a goal 

to start the 2012 portion of the schedule before finally breaking the 

slump Jan. 31 in a 3-1 victory at Calgary. 

He also drew an assist on linemate Darren Helm’s game-winning 

goal in the third period against San Jose. 

“The puck is going in for us,” said Miller, whose 12 goals are 

a career-high, two more than he scored in each of the past two 

seasons. “It’s good for the team. You have to have that secondary 

scoring. 

“We work hard out there. In the past couple of seasons, that’s 

kind of the way we were brought up. You have to work hard and 

earn your ice time. We’ve been getting a little more of a role on the 

team and getting more of an opportunity to play.” 

The third line of Miller, Helm and Justin Abdelkader had four of 

Detroit’s seven points against San Jose. 

“They work hard,” said goaltender Joey MacDonald. “You’ve 

got Millsie and Helms, all those guys, they work hard every night 

and that’s what you need to win games. Every team’s got their top 

couple of lines. Your third and fourth lines are going to win a lot of 

games. 

“That’s the key over the last little streak we’ve had, those lines.” 

Miller’s 12 goals have him tied for sixth among the Red Wings 

with Niklas Kronwall and Todd Bertuzzi. He’s only one behind 

Henrik Zetterberg,m who has 13. 

Helm’s goal was his sixth. 

“They’re using their speed to their advantage, too, which we saw 

on a couple of occasions, on a turnover when Helm scored that third 

goal,” said captain Nicklas Lidstrom. “Just a quick turnover, going 

the other way, one pass and a quick shot. 

“It’s great to see they’re kind of grinding the other team down 

low but they’re getting scoring chances and scoring on them, too.” 

#23 Brad Stuart 

Detroit 4, Anaheim 2: Red Wings win; Brad Stuart scores twice 


ANAHEIM, Calif. -- The Red Wings didn’t make it easy on 

themselves, what with having to kill off two penalties in the last five 

minutes-plus of a one-goal game. 

They got the job done, though, holding onto that lead to top the 

Ducks, 4-2, Sunday at the Honda Center. The victory salvaged their 

road trip as it brought the Wings to .500, thanks to a 4-1 victory 

Saturday at Los Angeles. The week began with a 2-1 loss at St. 

Louis and continued with a 5-2 loss at San Jose. 

“Getting four points here in the last two games is huge for us,” 

Jimmy Howard said after making 32 saves, 15 of them in the second 



period. “It was a gutsy effort all the way around tonight. Guys were 

blocking shots, getting sticks in lanes -- you could see the look in 

everybody’s eyes. We were determined to get these two points.” 

Brad Stuart scored during the second period and again into an 

empty net in the last minute. 

“I just slowly watched it go and I wasn’t sure if it was going to 

curl in there,” Stuart said of his second goal. “It was nice to take the 

pressure off there, in the last minute. 

“It was a big win. I think we would have drawn it up a little 

differently -- we got off to a good start and then kind of let them 

back in, but Howie was big for us, we got some good kills, and were 

able to hold on.” 

Henrik Zetterberg scored on the Ducks just past the opening 

minute of the first period, which ended up lasting an hour because 

of a nearly 30-minute delay due to a power problem caused by a 

rainstorm. Johan Franzen built on that lead in the opening minute 

of the second period, and Brad Stuart got the game-winner, also in 

the second period. Stuart also scored and again into an empty net 

in the last minute. 

Howard started back-to-back games and made a highlight reel 

save on Bobby Ryan in the second period. Ryan Getzlaf hammered 

a shot on net, and the rebound popped out front, where both Ryan 

and Corey Perry buzzed. Howard stretched across his crease and 

smashed his glove down on the puck before it could fully cross the 

goal line, leaving replays to hold up the no-goal call made on the ice. 

“It was just desperation,” Howard said. “Nothing else. I had Perry 

there in the front screening me and it went into Perry’s body and 

you lose it for a second. It just happened to pop out and I had enough 

time to get across.” 

Saku Koivu and Teemu Selanne had better luck. 

Zetterberg gave the Wings a lead 1:26 after the first puck 

dropped. Brandon McMillan couldn’t corral the puck at his feet and 

Zetterberg swooped in, maneuvered the puck away and fired it 

behind Jonas Hiller. 

The Wings got a power play at 5:22, but it was interrupted after 

56 seconds because of a lighting issue that left much of the ice in 

the dark. Players skated around, stretched and sat on the benches 

for about 10 minutes before going back to their respective locker 

rooms. The Ducks had a similar issue Thursday, when the third 

period of that game was delayed by 17 minutes. 

This one last around 27 minutes. The Wings didn’t get much 

going on what was left of their power play, and couldn’t convert, 

either, when McMillan was called for shooting the puck over the 

glass with 12 seconds still left on the first power play. The Ducks 

looked like they got something out of the break in the game, as 

they came back out with a much better effort, forcing a couple of 

good saves from Howard. Ryan swung out from behind the net and 

angled the puck into the crease, but Howard got his stick down in 

time to deflect the shot wide. 

“For sure we weren’t nearly as good,” coach Mike Babcock said. 

“We were dominant before that and then we weren’t nearly as 

focused after that.” 

Pavel Datsyuk continued his strong performance from the Kings 

game by picking off Cam Fowler’s pass as the second period got 

under way, sending the puck ahead to Franzen. Franzen strode to 

the slot and sent a wrist shot in for his 10th goal of the season. 

Stuart got it to 3-0 at 7:10 when he used Todd Bertuzzi as a screen 

to beat Hiller from the left circle after getting the puck from Franzen. 

“I saw an opportunity to jump up and be the late guy on the rush,” 

Stuart said. “Mule made a good pass over to me and Bert cut in 

front and I just shot it. The goalie didn’t see it, I don’t think.” 

The Ducks came back with one 3 minutes later, when Fowler fed 

Koivu off a rush begun by Andrew Cogliano. The lead dwindled to 

one goal after Selanne tapped in Corey Perry’s backhand cross- 

crease feed at 16:21. 

“We gave them a lot of opportunities to get back in the game,” 

Franzen said. “Good penalty killing and good goaltending saved us. 

There’s no way we should give them two power plays the last 5 

minutes when we’re leading, 3-2. We’ve got to be smarter than that 

if we’re going to continue to win games.” 

After scoring twice on power plays in their previous two games 

the Wings repeatedly came up short Sunday, going 0-for-5 with the 

man advantage. “I didn’t like our power play at all tonight,” Babcock 

said. “I thought we were disorganized. We could have won the game 

early on our power play, and didn’t do that. 

“But it’s tough, back-to-back, so it was a good win for us. We get 

to go home on a flight with a day off, feeling better about ourselves.” 

#26 Jiri hudler 

Red Wings’ Jiri Hudler capitalizing on chance to play with Henrik 

Zetterberg, Valtteri Filppula 

By Ansar Khan 

DETROIT -- Detroit Red Wings forward Jiri Hudler has a long 

way to go before regaining his form of 2008-09, but he has shown 

improvement lately. 

Hudler is capitalizing on an opportunity to play on a line with 

Henrik Zetterberg and Valtteri Filppula, posting a goal and an assist 

in each of the past two games. He has picked up eight points (two 

goals, six assists) in eight games heading into tonight’s contest 

against the Winnipeg Jets at Joe Louis Arena. 

“I thought Hudler has been real good this last little bit,” coach Mike 

Babcock said. “I thought he was real good in St. Louis (Tuesday), 

maybe as good a game as he’s had in a long time. 

“He’s skating way better and looks like he’s got confidence. He 

didn’t have the kind of year he wanted last year; he’s on track this 

year. We need him to generate offense and be good defensively as 

well.” 

Hudler has posted modest production (four goals, 12 assists, 

plus-6 rating in 26 games), but it’s far better than where he was 

through 30 games last season (one goal, five assists, minus-8). 

“I feel pretty good. I hope I’m playing well,” Hudler said. “Playing 

with Fil and Z is fun, and playing on the right wing. I usually play 

(left wing), but when you play with players like this you don’t need 

to worry about it. 

“Last year at this time didn’t go my way, I was frustrated,” Hudler 

said. “It was tough, but this is a new year.” 

Hudler is a left wing, but he can get used to playing on the right 

side. 

“You get the puck on your backhand more because you’re facing 

(the net),” Hudler said. “But at the same time your forehand is 

towards the net all time, so you’re ready to shoot the puck quicker. 

“But other than that, you’re playing with good players, so it 

doesn’t really matter.” 

Filppula has never looked better. He has six goals and three 

assists in his past six full games (he played less than a period 

Sunday in Colorado due to a deep cut in his shin). Zetterberg has 

10 points (two goals, eight assists) in his past nine games, after 

struggling much of the season. 

“Fil’s one fire, Z’s on fire. They both fly,” Hudler said. “I think we’re 

playing smart, simple. Just put it in, grind it out, win some battles 

down low and put it in the net. 

“Fil is a horse, really strong guy. It’s tough to take the puck from 

him. He’s got big legs and it’s tough to go around him, too.” 

After seeing Hudler post 23 goals and 57 points in 2008-09, 



teammates believe he is capable of being a consistent offensive 

threat. 

“He’s good with the puck, makes real good plays,” Filppula said. 

“We’ve been skating pretty well and moving the puck well, creating 

some chances.” 

Said Zetterberg: “He’s got an opportunity to play a little more 

and he’s been taking advantage of it. Right now he’s doing the right 

things.” 

#27 kyle quincey 

Kyle Quincey returns to Red Wings, adds depth, versatility, youth 

to defense 


CHICAGO --The Red Wings got help from one former player 

to acquire another as they take aim at the Stanley Cup. The 

Wings added toughness to their blue line Tuesday by acquiring 

defenseman Kyle Quincey from Tampa Bay for Detroit’s first-round 

pick in the June draft. 

“Very excited about this,” general manager Ken Holland said. “We 

think he makes us deeper on defense. He’s a guy who can play 20 

minutes a night, he can play right defense, left defense. He can play 

in all situations. He can man a point on the second power-play unit. 

And he’s only 26.” 

Quincey, drafted by the Wings, is slated to make his debut 

Thursday versus the Canucks. 

Coach Mike Babcock said he plans to use Quincey opposite 

Jonathan Ericsson on the third pairing. “Good for us. Obviously a 

guy who can play a lot of minutes.” 

Quincey spoke eagerly of coming home to the team that drafted 

him. 

“I’m going to a great team with a chance to win the Cup,” Quincey 

said. “I know pretty much every single guy on the team, which is 

nice. I’m just looking forward to it.” 

Holland spoke with Colorado GM Greg Sherman about Quincey 

last week, but the sides couldn’t agree on a price. Tuesday morning, 

Holland got a call from former Wing Steve Yzerman, now the GM of 

the Lightning. 

Yzerman said he could get Quincey by sending Steve Downie to 

Colorado, but would the Wings in turn be willing to give up their top 

pick? A first-rounder sounds costly, but the Wings won’t pick earlier 

than low-20s at best, and this year’s tight standings have created a 

seller’s market as Monday’s trade deadline approaches. The Wings 

added minor leaguer Sebastien Piche in the deal. 

“Some of them were prospects we didn’t want to trade,” Holland 

said. “We gave (Yzerman) a higher pick than we would have liked, 

but in this market, you have to give up something.” 

The Wings get a young defenseman who is a restricted free 

agent, meaning they own his rights beyond this season. Holland 

plans to keep Quincey; he is, among other things, good insurance, 

given that Brad Stuart likely will leave and sign with San Jose this 

summer to be with his family. 

“He’s not a rental,” Holland said of Quincey. 

The Wings had been looking to add a little meaner element to 

their third defense pairing. They signed Mike Commodore for 

that purpose last summer, but he hasn’t established himself as 

a regular. Jakub Kindl had an impressive start but has struggled 

the past month. Ultimately, the Wings probably will have to put 

Commodore on waivers for roster reasons, but Holland said “no 

moves are planned right now.” 

Quincey, who has 92 points and is minus-five in 239 career NHL 

games, brings nice size at 6-feet-2, 202 pounds, and should bring 

more crease-clearing presence. Detroit drafted Quincey with the 

132nd overall pick in 2003. He played six games each in ‘06-07 and 

‘07-08, and the Wings put him on waivers Oct. 13, 2008, losing him 

to Los Angeles. The following summer, Quincey was traded to the 

Avalanche. 

He gained some notoriety in ‘09 after publicly complaining that 

he didn’t get a ring after the Wings won the ‘08 Stanley Cup, even 

though he wasn’t eligible because he didn’t play in the playoffs and 

appeared in only six regular-season games. Quincey downplayed 

the comments Tuesday, saying his focus is on playing for a Cup 

during the coming months. “By far, that’s the biggest plus with 

coming to Detroit, is winning.” 

Added Holland: “We probably shouldn’t have let him go. But 

now we get him back, and we think he’s developed into a real nice 

defenseman.” 

#29 ty conklin 

Ty Conklin comes up big as Red Wings shut out Avalanche, 3-0 

By Ansar Khan 

DENVER -- The Detroit Red Wings had to travel across two time 

zones and play on back-to-back nights Saturday against a team 

making its season debut. 

They needed a big performance from their goaltender. Ty Conklin 

delivered. 

Conklin, the veteran backup, made 29 saves for his 17th career 

shutout as the Red Wings defeated the Colorado Avalanche 3-0 at 

the Pepsi Center. 

Johan Franzen and Henrik Zetterberg scored off odd-man rushes 

and Pavel Datsyuk scored into an empty net as Detroit improved to 

2-0 on the season. Danny Cleary had two assists. 

The Avalanche started strong, following a pregame ceremony in 

which former Colorado star Peter Forsberg had his No. 21 jersey 

raised to the rafters. 

“It was nice to get some shots early to get in the game,” Conklin 

said. “After the travel last night -- and certainly home openers are 

emotional, you come out with a lot of energy, everyone’s excited. It’s 

no surprise they had a little jump on us early in the first. Once we 

found our legs 10 minutes or so in, I thought we controlled the pace 

most of the game.” 

It was Conklin’s first game in his second stint with Detroit. The 

Red Wings signed him in July to replace Chris Osgood, who retired. 

Conklin didn’t have a strong season in St. Louis last year, but the 

Red Wings felt comfortable bringing him back since he was real 

strong as Osgood’s backup in 2008-09 and actually wound up 

playing more games in the regular season. 

“Conks is an excellent goaltender. He battles in there, very Tim 

Thomas-like,” Cleary said. “He’s great with the puck, good handler.” 

Coach Mike Babcock not only was pleased with the way Conklin 

stopped the puck, he also liked the way he handled it. 

“Probably more important was (Conklin) playing the puck,” 

Babcock said. “It allowed our (defense) to get the puck out of our 

zone and us to grind a little bit until we got our legs back and got 

moving.” 

Conklin was shaken up with 4:41 to play when he was poked in 

the face by the stick of defenseman Jonathan Ericsson. 

“It hurt,” Conklin said. “Felt like I got punched in the face.” 

The Red Wings got stronger as the game wore on and ended up 

outshooting Colorado 39-29, after the Avalanche held a 7-2 edge 

minutes into the game. 



Franzen broke the ice at 17:41 of the second period. 

The Red Wings were on a three-on-two break when Jiri Hudler 

dropped a pass back to Franzen, who trailing the play as the fourth 

man on the rush. Franzen blistered a shot into the top right corner, 

past goalie Semyon Varlamov. 

The Red Wings are relying on Franzen to bounce back this season. 

He led the team with 28 goals in 2010-11 but wasn’t effective the 

last third of the season, scoring just two goals in the final 27 games. 

Zetterberg, from a sharp angle, blasted in a one-timer on a pass 

from Datsyuk to make it 2-0 at 11:58 of the third period. 

“Hank was excited tonight because it’s Forsberg (night),” Datsyuk 

said. “It’s one of his players growing up. He wanted to be next 

generation (Forsberg). 

“He had unbelievable shot, I just delivered the puck. It’s hard to 

stop that shot.” 

Said Zetterberg: “Pav made a really good pass, I just closed my 

eyes and shot it and hopefully it went in.” 

Babcock didn’t wait long into the season to shuffle his top two 

lines. He paired Datsyuk and Zetterberg together in the second 

period, along with Cleary. That left Valtteri Filppula to center a line 

with Franzen and Hudler. 

Colorado coach Joe Sacco pulled Varlamov for the extra skater 

fairly early and Datsyuk sealed the win with an empty-net goal with 

2:20 remaining. 

“It’s Avalanche against the Red Wings,” Zetterberg said. 

“(Forsberg) really pointed that out, too. We were really happen 

when we beat them as well. It was a great ceremony before. I was 

happy to be able to sit on the bench and enjoy that. After that it was 

game on.” 

All in all, Babcock said it was a good win. 

“The schedule was against us today, we got in at 2:40 last night 

and back-to-backs this early in the year is tough,” Babcock said. 

“But we rolled out four lines and the guys played good.” 

#31 Joey Macdonald 

Red Wings’ Joey MacDonald appreciates crowd support as he 

continues remarkable run in net 

Ansar Khan 

DETROIT – Joey MacDonald made a great save on Jason Demers’ 

breakaway midway through the second period Sunday, and the 

capacity crowd at Joe Louis Arena broke out with chants of “Joey, 

Joey!’’ 

More accomplished goaltenders have been serenaded in similar 

fashion: Chris Osgood, Dominik Hasek, Jimmy Howard. 

For a journeyman like MacDonald, who until Feb. 4 had spent 

the entire season in the minors, to get that kind of treatment from 

Detroit Red Wings fans is quite a feat. It speaks to his remarkable 

run. 

MacDonald continued his outstanding play, making 31 saves 

to lead the Red Wings to a 3-2 victory over the nemesis San Jose 

Sharks, extending their NHL-record home winning streak to 23 

games. 

It’s not the first time MacDonald has heard this chant during a 

six-game winning streak in which he has allowed only 10 goals. 

“It’s nice when you get 20,000 people chanting your name,’’ 

MacDonald said. “It doesn’t happen too often, especially in a building 

like this, with so many great players coming through. 

“It kind of tickles me. … Ozzie, Hasek. Manny Legace, all these 

guys that had great years here. I remember hearing the Ozzie chant 

a lot of times. For them to be chanting my name is pretty special.’’ 

The Red Wings never trailed in snapping a five-game regularseason 

losing streak vs. the Sharks, the team that has eliminated 

them from the second round of the playoffs each of the past two 

seasons. 

Henrik Zetterberg continued his roll with a first-period goal. 

The third line provided speed, energy and offense, as Drew Miller 

scored a goal and set up Darren Helm for what proved to be the 

winning goal at 7:01 of the third period. 

But MacDonald was the key, making 18 saves in the second 

period alone and denying the Sharks on several odd-man rushes. 

“He’s been great, amazing, doing it every night, and you can’t ask 

for more,’’ Helm said. 

“He’s making the saves to give us a chance to win,’’ Miller said. 

“You have to have that out of your goaltender.’’ 

It might have been MacDonald’s last start for a while. Howard, 

out since Feb. 2 with a broken right index finger, will start Tuesday 

in Chicago, coach Mike Babcock said again after the game. 

The Red Wings said they will reveal their backup plan on Monday. 

MacDonald certainly has earned the job over Ty Conklin. The team 

might place Conklin on waivers Monday at noon. If they do, and he 

clears, he would be sent to the Grand Rapids Griffins. 

MacDonald does not need to pass through waivers to be sent 

down, since he cleared at the start of the season and has not played 

10 NHL games or been on the roster for 30 days. 

“Whatever decisions they make I’ll be happy with it,’’ MacDonald 

said. “If I do get sent down I’ll do the same thing down there. I’ll play 

and I’ll get a chance back here some time.” 

The Sharks essentially had four power plays in the second 

period and scored on one, as Logan Couture cut their deficit to 2-1 

at 14:33. The Red Wings, outshot 19-8, weathered the storm and 

gathered themselves in the third. 

Helm gave his team some breathing room by taking a pass from 

Miller on a rush and blasting in a shot from the slot past Antti Niemi 

at 7:01. It was a critical goal, as Patrick Marleau scored with 4:44 

remaining in the third period. 

“A big part of our line’s success is playing fast,’’ Helm said. “We 

don’t really have the skill as the other guys. So playing straight 

ahead is important for us, getting pucks deep and skating.’’ 

Penalty killing also is vital, and Babcock liked what he saw in that 

area. 

“Give Mac a ton of credit,’’ Babcock said. “I don’t think he had 

much action in the first period, neither goalie did. Not as much in 

the third, but he had to do a good job in the second.’’ 

MacDonald credited a solid defensive effort -- players blocking 

shots, boxing out, clearing rebounds, limiting second chances. 

Zetterberg opened the scoring at 6:30 of the first period by 

whipping in a backhand shot while Jiri Hudler was parked in front 

of the net. Zetterberg has four goals and seven assists in the past 

eight games. 

Miller made it 2-0 at 10:40 of the second with his 12th goal. He 

drove to the net and knocked in the rebound of a shot by Justin 

Abdelkader. 

Players said it was important to beat the Sharks. And now they’ll 

move on to another rival, the Blackhawks, as Howard will make his 

first appearance since a 4-3 shootout win in Vancouver Feb. 2. 

“Extremely fun to add six more wins to the home record and just 

keep battling every night,’’ MacDonald said. “With a team like this, 

you know they’re going to show up and work hard for you.’’ 



#35 JiMMy hoWard 

Red Wings goalie Jimmy Howard proving he’s an All-Star 

Ted Kulfan 

Detroit — If his buddies have anything to do with it, Jimmy 

Howard is going to the NHL All-Star Game. 

The game is Jan. 29 in Ottawa, and Howard isn’t on the official 

ballot, so he’s getting voted as a write-in candidate. 

But many of Howard’s friends from his hometown of Ogdensburg, 

N.Y., which Howard said is about 45 minutes away, are going online 

and doing their duty of voting for Howard every day, as often as they 

can, and hoping to put Howard in his first All-Star Game. 

“They’re all fired up,” Howard said late last week. “They’ve voting 

and they all want me there.” 

Whether Howard gets there remains to be seen (he ranks 11th 

right now with more than 71,000 votes) but based on his play alone, 

it’ll be tough for the NHL operations department to leave him out 

of the game. 

Few goalies have been better this season. 

Howard ranks first in the league in wins (17), tied for second 

in shutouts (three), second in goals-against average (1.85) and 

seventh in save percentage (.931). 

At 27 years old and in his third NHL season, Howard appears 

to have found his place in the league: Side by side among the best 

goalies in the game. 

“I just feel comfortable being out there,” Howard said. “This is 

my third year here and I feel I can be a difference-maker out there. 

“I had confidence coming out of the playoffs last year and I’ve just 

tried to keep it going.” 

A turning point likely came after Howard signed a two-year 

contract worth $4.5 million last season at the trade deadline. 

Instead of worrying about free agency and where he might wind 

up, Howard knew his immediate future was going to be in Detroit. 

The stability of that, especially with he and wife Rachel expecting 

their first child (James IV was born last month), seemed to provide 

a huge difference. 

Howard was one of the Wings’ best players in the playoffs and it’s 

carried into this season. 

“He’s giving us a chance to win every game,” forward Henrik 

Zetterberg said. “He’s doing all you can ask of a goalie.” 

By gaining experience and understanding the ups and downs 

of the position, Howard seems to have a found, according to coach 

Mike Babcock, a balance elite goalies need to have. 

“He just plays,” Babcock said. “When he gives up a bad one (goal), 

he just keeps doing good things. It’s like water off a duck’s back.” 

Part of the credit for Howard’s development in the NHL has to go 

to the Wings’ decision to keep him marinating in the minor leagues. 

Howard spent four seasons with the Grand Rapids Griffins, 

awaiting his eventual full-time call-up by the Wings. 

“In hindsight it was very beneficial,” said Howard, who admits 

it was sometimes frustrating waiting for his NHL opportunity. 

“You want to up here, you’re working hard, and when you get your 

opportunity you want to take advantage of it. 

“Being a black ace (a playoff call-up) was truly a blessing in 

disguise. Watching Dom (Dominik Hasek) and Ozzie (Chris Osgood) 

and how they handled situations and how they handled it with ease, 

it was good for me to see that.” 

And he’s learned the lessons well enough to possibly make his 

first All-Star Game and be among the best of the best. 

If it happens, great. If not, Howard can definitely live with that, 

too. 

“I’d be able to spend time with my family, which is fantastic,” 

Howard said. “(But) it would be a tremendous opportunity and I’m 

sure it would be a lot of fun. Just to be in the talks (of) possibly being 

an All-Star is nice considering the road I’ve taken.” 

#39 Jan MurSak 

Slovenia is fired up for historic clash between Red Wings’ Jan 

Mursak and Kings’ Anze Kopitar 

Ansar Khan 

DETROIT – Tonight’s game between the Detroit Red Wings and Los 

Angeles Kings will be somewhat historic – if you’re from Slovenia. 

The Kings’ Anze Kopitar and Red Wings’ Jan Mursak are the only 

Slovenian-born players in NHL history. So this game will feature 

the first-ever NHL matchup of Slovenians. 

Mursak said it’s big news back home in the small Slavic nation of 

just over 2 million people in south central Europe. 

“I’m excited, I’m looking forward to the game,’’ Mursak said. “In 

the news and the newspapers they’re all talking about tonight’s 

game.’’ 

Mursak knows Kopitar well. 

“Slovenia is really small, so every hockey player knows the other 

guy,’’ Mursak said. “He’s a very good player and everyone back 

home knows him and we’ve been friends for a long time, since 

under-18 juniors. 

“He’s pretty business with hockey during the season, so we don’t 

talk to much.” 

Mursak had his own cheering section of Slovenians at a recent 

game at Joe Louis Arena. 

“It was fun,’’ he said. “I really didn’t know these people, which 

made it even more special, because Slovenia is so small and we 

don’t have players in the NHL, so they are very proud of us. 

“I met them afterward, they came down to the locker room and 

they were pretty happy.” 

He doesn’t think they’ll be in the building tonight, however. 

“They have their own tournament up in Sault Ste. Marie that 

they’re playing in,’’ Mursak said. “It would have been fun if they 

would have come. I would want to see who they would cheer for.” 

#40 henrik ZetterBerG 

Red Wings’ Henrik Zetterberg making some points on offense 


Henrik Zetterberg has used humor and he’s used patience, but to 

finally see the points pile up next to his name, he admits, is a relief. 

Zetterberg scored a power-play goal to lead the Red Wings 

past the Dallas Stars, 3-1, Tuesday at Joe Louis Arena. That was 

Zetterberg’s third goal and ninth point in the past six games; he had 

just nine from Jan. 3 to Feb. 2, and in general had a very quiet first 

four months of the season 

“Z is playing real well,” coach Mike Babcock said. “It’s important 

he’s got confidence. He’s a real important player for us, and we 

want him feeling good. Any time you can have your big guns on all 

cylinders, it’s positive. 

“He’s suddenly got numbers that are Z-like, and he’s probably 

feeling pretty good about himself.” 

That about sums it up. 

“It makes it easier,” Zetterberg said of his surge in production, 

noting that for him, this time of year is motivational because it 

means the “playoffs are sneaking up.” 

Babcock and Zetterberg have said several times that it was just 



a matter of time before the points would come. And Zetterberg is a 

good two-way player, so even when he isn’t scoring, he’s valuable 

for his defensive play. 

And there’s no question his hard work has had a great deal to 

do with the career seasons enjoyed by both of his wingers, Valtteri 

Filppula and Jiri Hudler. “That’s what I keep telling them, but no one 

else is really picking up on that,” Zetterberg said, laughing. “We’ve 

been having good chemistry all year, and both Fil and Huds have 

been playing great, so I’m really happy for them.” 

NOTEBOOK: Babcock plans to have Jimmy Howard (finger) start 

Sunday, but Howard may even be able to play Friday. When he 

does return, the Wings will have to either send Joey MacDonald 

back to Grand Rapids, which seems unlikely because of how well 

he has played, or waive Ty Conklin. That’s the plausible scenario 

because Conklin has struggled, and a trip to the minors (provided 

he doesn’t get claimed by another team; again, unlikely), might 

help his confidence. ... Danny Cleary needed his left knee drained 

again and estimated he might return Sunday. ... General manager 

Ken Holland said Patrick Eaves (concussion-like symptoms) “might 

start practicing soon, but isn’t close to returning anytime soon.” 

#43 darren helM 

Red Wings’ Darren Helm primed to speed up production 

By MIKE BRUDENELL 

Red Wings speedster Darren Helm had plenty of momentum 

going for him in high school in Winnipeg. 

The 24-year-old center was a sprinter -- a 100-meter/200meter 

specialist -- who also competed in the long jump and triple 

jump through the 10th grade. 

Helm, one of the fastest skaters in the NHL, also excelled at 

volleyball and said the other sports he played in high school helped 

his speed and agility as a hockey player. 

He has two goals and one assist in 15 games after scoring in the 

third period of Saturday’s 5-2 victory over Dallas. 

“Other than looking at the stats, I think I’ve been playing pretty 

well,” Helm said. “I think our line has been doing a lot of good things 

-- just the puck isn’t going in right now. We’re going to have to get 

going a little bit.” 

He centers the third line with Justin Abdelkader and Jiri Hudler. 

Helm appreciates his speed advantage over most players -- but 

said it can backfire. 

“Guys like me have to learn to control their feet,” Helm said. 

“Sometimes I can be a little dangerous on the ice -- mostly in 

practice. There are a lot of good, fast skaters in this league who can 

play with the puck, skate hard and go fast at the same time. It’s all 

about control.” 

The Wings are getting their act together, he said, winning four 

straight after losing six in a row. 

“We’ve got our confidence back a little bit,” Helm said. “You get on 

a roll and away you go. In this league, you have to compete every 

night. It’s tight from top to bottom. You have to find a way to win 

even when things are stacked against you.” 

He said the “jump” is back in the team, and he likes the way 

Abdelkader is throwing around his weight. 

Abdelkader made some big hits in Friday night’s 3-0 victory 

against Edmonton, and he fought Lennart Petrell. 

“That’s what we need from Justin -- for him to get physical,” 

Helm said. “He’s going to get in the dirty areas and be physical and 

create chances. It’s great playing with him. He’s always been like 

that.” 

Helm said he’s ready to turn up the heat on the ice. 

“I expect more from myself,” he said. “It’s time to turn it on.” 

#44 todd BertuZZi 

Todd Bertuzzi’s unique paths delight Red Wings 


BOSTON -- One teammate compared Todd Bertuzzi to a slalom 

skier, another suggested he may be a bit antiquated. But any which 

way he gets the job done, the Red Wings are delighted. 

As he took to the ice for the third round of the shoot-out Friday 

in Boston, Bertuzzi started out wide, then cut in and lifted the puck 

over Tuukka Rask to secure a 3-2 victory against the Bruins. 

“I had a different move planned,” Bertuzzi said, “but I got caught 

in a rut, couldn’t quite get my feet back again. I’m fortunate I got him 

leaning enough that I could get it back up.” 

Bertuzzi scored twice when the Wings last played in Boston, a 

4-2 victory last February. His role has changed since that game: 

He spent the opening month of this season on the third line, tasked 

with providing a physical presence and limiting his penalties. He 

missed six games earlier this month because of dizziness and then 

found himself, when he returned last Saturday, on the top line with 

Pavel Datsyuk and Johan Franzen. Bertuzzi has responded. 

“I thought Bert’s played three of his best games since he’s been a 

Red Wing,” coach Mike Babcock said. “Good for him to get the goal. 

“I just thought he was big and strong and skating. And the other 

thing I like about him is he’s taking care of the puck. When Bert gets 

himself in trouble is when he’s too cute. But when he plays big and 

he gets to the net and he’s hard on pucks and hard on people, he’s 

a big man who can skate.” 

Bertuzzi is 10-for-26 in shoot-outs since 2005-06. He often 

surprises goaltenders with a meandering path. 

“He looks like he’s slalom skiing out there,” goaltender Jimmy 

Howard said. “He’s so good out there, he’s got such slick hands.” 

Asked about the slow approaches, Pavel Datsyuk joked that 

Bertuzzi -- who at 36 is a mere three years older than Datsyuk -- is 

just behind the times. “Now it’s HD camera, you can see everything. 

Maybe he just still thinking we have old camera, maybe this is why 

he go slow.” 

While shoot-out goals don’t count as individual stats, Bertuzzi 

picked up his first assist in eight games when he sent the puck in 

behind Boston’s defense to set up Datsyuk. 

“I think anyone who plays with Pav is going to have the 

opportunities,” Bertuzzi said. “Let’s the face it, when you have the 

puck a little bit more and you’re making plays, your confidence goes 

up and it feels like you’re doing more out there. 

“It’s always nice to contribute, but on this team, you gotta get 

wins.” 

#48 cory eMMerton 

Emmerton basks in 3-point night after dry spell 

By Chuck Pleiness 

DETROIT – Cory Emmerton could not have had a better start to 

his National Hockey League career. 

He had one goal and an assist in the Wings’ season opener 

against the Ottawa Senators, doing this on just over eight minutes 

of ice time. 

Since that point, Emmerton went pointless over 19 games 

and quickly found himself unable to get back into the lineup and 



watching from the locker room as a healthy scratch. 

Saturday night against the Los Angeles Kings, Emmerton 

showed off the kind of the offensive upside the Wings were hoping 

to see out of the promising center on a more consistent basis. 

Emmerton had a career-best three-point night with two goals 

and an assist in an 8-2 win over the Kings. 

“I think it’s real good for him, confidence-wise,” Wings coach Mike 

Babcock said after the game. “He’s got NHL skills, he’s got to decide 

he’s an NHL player. 

“When you don’t play for a while and mentally you might start 

getting closer to the door,” Babcock added. “You don’t want to be 

closer to the door, you want to be in the middle of the room hanging 

on. So it’s a good sign for him tonight.” 

“It’s definitely not easy,” Emmerton said about sitting out. “You 

learn on the fly. You’ve just got to work from the defensive zone up, 

especially as a young guy for the Detroit Red Wings. Slowly, you try 

and bring the other aspects of your game along.” 

Emmerton also matched his season best of finishing a plus-2 in 

just over 11 minutes of ice time. 

“It’s one of those things that you’re trying to do the little things 

right and then when you’re fortunate enough to get a bounce or two 

it gives you that much more confidence or momentum to carry you 

through,” Emmerton said. “As much as you hate to say it, the big 

thing about hockey is all about confidence and comfort level.” 

Coming out of training camp, Emmerton had an edge over Patrick 

Eaves and Fabian Brunnstrom to make the lineup since he was a 

natural center. 

Also, Babcock wanted to keep Darren Helm and Justin 

Abdelkader on a line together which helped Emmerton earn the 

fourth-line center spot. 

However, after a number of ineffective games Babcock decided 

to move Abdelkader to center the fourth line. 

“It’s a good feeling to contribute offensively, but our roles are 

to play well defensively and kind of grind on the other team’s 

defenses and wear them out so that our top two lines can generate 

more offense and have more room out there,” Emmerton said. “But 

whenever you can contribute offensively you know it’s going to help 

the team.” 

Another part of Emmerton’s game he has struggled with is in the 

faceoff circle, winning less than 40-percent of the ones has taken 

all season. On Saturday, Emmerton won both faceoffs he took. 

After netting two goals by the end of the period the natural 

instinct of a hockey player is to finish things off and record that 

hat trick. 

“Obviously it kind of crosses your mind, but the way things have 

kind of gone this year I was just happy to have two, so I wasn’t really 

thinking too much about three,” Emmerton said. 

Let’s head west 

The Wings head out to Western Canada for three games 

beginning tonight in Edmonton looking to improve on their poor 

road record of 7-8-0. 

“We’re looking forward to it, let’s get out there and get going,” 

said Babcock, whose team is 13-2-1 at home. “We’ve gotta be 

better on the road. We’re all coming home for Christmas, it’s a great 

time of year. The games are on the schedule. Looking forward to 

going, that’s it.” 

The Wings play at Vancouver on Wednesday and then at Calgary 

on Thursday before coming home for the Christmas break. 

“But we got to feel good about going out there, coming together 

as a team on the road,” Wings defenseman Brad Stuart said. “We 

haven’t had a lot of road trips that are longer than one or two 

games.” 

The day after Christmas Detroit plays in Nashville. 

“Its’ a good, positive win to take on the road trip,” Drew Miller said 

after the game. “We’ll build off this. 

“Every team in this league wants to establish that presence at 

home,” Miller added. “Definitely the Red Wings have had that in the 

past here and it’s something you want to continue having. When 

teams come in here it’s a tough place to play, we got good fans and 

we play hard.” 

#51 valtteri FilPPula 

Red Wings reaping benefits of Valtteri Filppula’s aggressive 

play on the wing 

By Ansar Khan 

DETROIT -- Valtteri Filppula has been more offensive-minded 

playing on the wing instead of his usual center position this season. 

He is shooting slightly more and is playing more on the inside. 

But, according to Henrik Zetterberg, in the Detroit Red Wings’ 

system, there isn’t much difference between playing center and the 

wing. 

So maybe it’s some kind of placebo effect that has made Filppula 

more assertive as a winger. 

Whatever the reason, the Red Wings are happily reaping the 

benefits. 

“He’s really taken charge, the way he handles the puck, the way 

he sets up plays and has confidence to make plays,” Zetterberg 

said. 

Filppula had 11 points (three goals, team-leading eight assists) 

heading into Saturday’s game against the Dallas Stars at Joe Louis 

Arena. He had a team-best plus-9 rating. 

“It’s always the same with Fil,” Red Wings coach Mike Babcock 

said. “The more he gets on the inside, the more he shoots the puck, 

the better player he is. You can always transport the puck and be 

on the outside, but if he wants to be on the inside, that’s where the 

high-end players play.” 

Filppula spent much of last season centering the third line. This 

year, he’s been on a top-two line most of the time, playing with 

Zetterberg and Johan Franzen the past several games. 

“Everyone has been waiting for him to take the next step, but you 

have to also be given that chance to take the next step and I think 

this year he’s been given that chance,” Zetterberg said. “He’s been 

showing he can really take that step, too.” 

Filppula is averaging slightly more time on the power play 

(2:38) than he did last season (2:01), but overall is logging less ice 

time (16:27) than he did in 2010-11 (16:43). He is maximizing his 

minutes, however. 

Filppula said playing the wing is resulting in more scoring 

chances. 

“You don’t attack any more than you do as a center,” Filppula 

said. “But usually as a center you attack against all five guys, or 

four guys. Now as a winger you have one or two guys ahead of you. 

“Being a (winger) you can think more about playing in the 

offensive zone than you can when you’re a center. At least that’s 

how I felt when I was playing center, because you were always 

worried about taking some of the responsibility off the defense.” 

Zetterberg said that playing the wing is prompting Filppula to 

shoot more. 

“When I play with him and I’m center — same thing as when I 

play with Pav (Datsyuk) -- first guy back is the center,” Zetterberg 

said. “If you count all the times he’s the first guy back, it might be 

50-50. 

“Playing center or wing is not that big a difference. It’s basically 



on paper. Then when you go out you just react to the situation. 

Maybe he doesn’t have to be the first guy back all the time, so he 

has more energy to create something offensively.” 

#52 Jonathan ericSSon 

Jonathan Ericsson’s value to Wings rises in absence 

By Ted Kulfan 

St. Louis— Former Red Wings assistant Brad McCrimmon 

gave Mike Babcock a great piece of knowledge regarding player 

evaluations. 

Evaluate your team without the player for the period of time he’s 

unavailable, and see how good — or bad — your team is without 

him. 

With that in mind, you could say defenseman Jonathan Ericsson’s 

value has skyrocketed. 

Ericsson missed 13 games with a wrist injury. Since his return, 

the 6-foot-4 Ericsson has strengthened the defense and penalty 

killing, and provided size that was lacking. 

“The appreciation for Jonathan Ericsson went through the roof 

when we lost everybody (to injury),” Babcock said. 

“We lost (goaltender Jimmy Howard), and that’s a big part of 

penalty killing, but when Big E wasn’t there, our penalty killing 

wasn’t even close. 

“Since he’s got back, we’ve been back on track.” 

Ericsson was paired with Nicklas Lidstrom for the second 

consecutive game Tuesday against the Blues, an opportunity for 

Babcock to see Ericsson play against top opposition. 

“It’s always a challenge to go out there and face the top guys, 

and on the penalty-kill play against the top lines,” Ericsson said. “I 

always see it as a challenge and it gets me more motivated, too.” 

The Red Wings suffered a rash of injuries in March that included 

Lidstrom, Howard and Pavel Datsyuk. 

But Ericsson seems to have rebounded the quickest, mainly 

because he was able to skate during his time out. 

“It’s always hard to (match) game intensity, but it did give me an 

advantage,” Ericsson said. 

Defensive picks 

The last three games will be a final opportunity for Babcock to 

formulate a playoff lineup. 

“I’ve got to decide on my back end,” said Babcock, who has 

rotated defensemen in and out of the lineup the past few games. 

Kyle Quincey (suspended) was out Wednesday, and Ian White 

was in the lineup. Babcock said after Wednesday’s 3-2 shootout 

victory that Jakub Kindl will not play tonight with Quincey returning 

to the lineup. 

Mismatch memory 

Babcock has been watching all the games affecting the Western 

chase, but not thinking about potential matchups. 

“Not for that,” Babcock said. “I always tell the story of I thought 

the Edmonton Oilers were a good matchup in 2005-06. I’ve never 

wished for a whole lot since.” 

The No. 8 Oilers upset the No. 1 Red Wings in six games. 

Nyquist honored 

Forward Gustav Nyquist was named to the American League allrookie 

team. He ranks among the AHL’s top rookies with 22 goals 

(sixth), 36 assists (fifth) and 58 points (fourth). 

#55 niklaS kronWall 

Red Wings lock up Niklas Kronwall until 2019 

Ted Kulfan 

Niklas Kronwall is staying with the Red Wings for a long time. 

The defenseman, who could have been an unrestricted free 

agent next summer, agreed to a seven-year contract extension 

Monday worth $33.25 million — a $4.75 million per season average 

and salary cap hit. 

Kronwall, 30, scored a career-high 11 goals last season. In nine 

games this season, he has one goal and one assist and is minus-3. 

A fine puck-mover and regarded as one of the best open-ice 

hitters in the game, both sides wanted to get a deal done. 

“We’re very excited, he’s a very important part of our team,” 

general manager Ken Holland said. “He plays hard, competes hard, 

and he’s one of the leaders of our team.” 

Holland said he began talks with Kronwall’s agent, J.P. Barry, in 

August and negotiations progressed at a steady pace. 

Kronwall is in the final season of a five-year contract worth $15 

million ($3 million average). Kronwall would have been one of the 

most highly sought-after defenseman next summer in free agency. 

But his first, and possibly only, choice was to remain with the Wings. 

“I’m very proud and excited to be part of the organization for 

years to come,” Kronwall said. “For me, there was never any doubt. 

This has become home for me and my girlfriend. I didn’t want to go 

anywhere else. 

“The tradition, history, and culture with the team, it just feels 

good to be part of it.” 

Kronwall was named an assistant captain earlier this season, an 

indication of his growing leadership and stature on the roster. 

On and off the ice, Kronwall’s influence on the team has grown. 

“He’s become one of our leaders,” said captain Nicklas Lidstrom. 

“He’s matured as a player. His role has gotten bigger, he’s an 

assistant captain. 

“He’s just getting better and better.” 

The fact the Wings have been Stanley Cup winners and continue to 

be contenders every season, said Kronwall, gives the organization 

strong appeal for any player. 

Kronwall joins Henrik Zetterberg, Pavel Datsyuk, Jimmy Howard, 

Valtteri Filppula and Jonathan Ericsson as Wings draft picks who’ve 

signed long-term contracts in recent seasons. 

Kronwall isn’t surprised so many players choose to remain 

Wings, forgoing the opportunity to test free agency. 

“There’s not an acceptance to losing games,” Kronwall said. “It’s 

all about winning and contending for the Stanley Cup every year. 

“I love that mentality around here.” 

Rather than drag the negotiations through the entire season, or 

maybe even in the offseason, both sides were able to get a deal 

done quickly. 

“I felt we were going to come to terms at some point. I had no 

doubt,” Kronwall said. 

For that reason, he wasn’t too concerned about the talks. 

“We have agents to do the negotiations for us,” Kronwall said. 

“Some people might (be troubled by negotiations) more than 

others, but for me, there was no reason (to leave). My girlfriend and 

I wanted to stay here. 

‘We’re excited it got done so quick.” 

Said Holland of the desire of players to stay with the Wings: “It 

speaks to the character of the guys in the room. They like coming 

to the rink, they like one another, and when you’re happy, you want 

to stay.” 

Kronwall’s salary cap hit will be $4.75 million per season but the 

actual financial numbers to be doled out are: $4.5 million in 2012- 



13, $6 million each of the following three seasons, then $5.5 million, 

$3.5 million and $1.75 million the last three seasons, respectively. 

Kronwall has a full no-trade clause the first five seasons. In the 

last two seasons, he has a modified no-trade clause where he can 

submit a list of 10 teams with whom he would approve a trade. 

Another key piece for Holland and the Wings will be re-signing 

Kronwall’s partner, Brad Stuart, another potential unrestricted free 

agent. 

Holland said he talked briefly with Stuart’s representative last 

summer, but both sides agreed to continue negotiations later in the 

season. 

“Certainly Stuie is a guy we’d like to have stay.” Holland said. 

Defensemen deals 

Signing Niklas Kronwall solidifies a big piece of the Red Wings’ 

defense heading into the future. The following is the state of the 

unit: 

Nicklas Lidstrom: Unrestricted free agent next summer, cap hit 

$6.2 million 

Ian White: Signed until 2013, cap hit $2.875 million 

Brad Stuart: Unrestricted free agent next summer, cap hit $3.75 

million 

Niklas Kronwall: Signed until 2019, cap hit $3 million this season, 

then $4.75 million until 2019 

Jonathan Ericsson: Signed until 2014, cap hit $3.25 million 

Jakub Kindl: Signed until 2013, cap hit $883,333 

Mike Commodore: Unrestricted free agent next summer, cap hit 

$1 million 

#93 Johan FranZen 

Johan Franzen’s hat trick gets Red Wings offense back on track 

Ted Kulfan/ The Detroit News 

Detroit— Something about the Colorado Avalanche brings out the 

best in Johan Franzen. 

Of course, Franzen had that incredible playoff series against 

them in 2008, scoring nine goals in a four-game sweep. 

Franzen scored his third career hat trick against the Avalanche 

on Tuesday, leading the Wings to a 5-2 victory. 

“No clue,” said Franzen as to why he has so much success 

against the Avalanche. “I don’t know. I like playing against them. I 

am usually lucky when I’m in their building or we’re playing them 

here. It’s a team I like to play against.” 

Even when Franzen didn’t intend to score a goal, he does against 

the Avalanche. 

Take Franzen’s first goal, which was originally credited to Valtteri 

Filppula. 

Franzen got his stick on the puck on Filppula’s one-timer and 

redirected the puck past goalie Semyon Varlamov. 

“It hit the tip of my blade,” said Franzen, who has a team-leading 

eight goals. “Fil shot it and I hit it. I didn’t mean to touch it.” 

Did Filppula say anything? 

“No,” Franzen said. “But I said I was sorry I had to take it (the 

goal).” 

With Franzen’s help, and the rest of the offense beginning to come 

alive, one game at a time the Red Wings are digging themselves out 

of that mysterious six-game winless streak that enveloped them. 

Nicklas Lidstrom and Danny Cleary scored the other Wings 

goals. Lidstrom has seven goals, and had the team lead for one 

period until Franzen scored his hat trick. 

Impressive rookie Gabriel Landeskog and Milan Hejduk both had 

power play goals for the Avalanche (7-7-1, 15 points). 

“Our guys played with quite a bit of tempo,” coach Mike Babcock 

said. “All in all, it was a good night for us. Our best players have 

come to life a little bit and that’s real important. The (NHL) Guide 

and Record Book shows they score, it’s just a matter of time.” 

Lidstrom opened the scoring at 8:54 of the first period. 

Avalanche defenseman Ryan Wilson shoveled the puck from 

his corner into the slot, where Lidstrom one-timed the puck past 

Varlamov. 

“We were patient,” said Lidstrom of the Wings’ overall game. “We 

knew they were going to come after us in the third period but we 

played well defensively and added two more goals.” 

The Wings (7-5-1, 15 points) took the 1-0 lead into the second 

period where Franzen scored two of his goals, giving the Wings a 

3-0 lead. 

Goalie J.S. Giguere replaced Varlamov after Franzen’s second 

goal. 

Franzen then capped the evening with an empty net goal with 

32 seconds left in the game. It was a backhander Franzen was 

particularly surprised about, but then, you have to consider it was 

the Avalanche he was playing against. 

“I usually don’t have a good backhand,” Franzen said. “I shot it 

wide but it drifted (back to the middle). That was a good one.” 

#96 toMaS holMStroM 

YAHOO SPORTS / Tomas Holmstrom’s unlikely journey to 1,000 

games 

By Nicholas J. Cotsonika, Yahoo! Sports 

DETROIT – Of all the hilarious Tomas Holmstrom stories, the 

most famous is the one about his number. 

In March 1998, late in his second season with the Detroit Red 

Wings, Holmstrom gave up No. 15 to newly acquired veteran Dmitri 

Mironov. He switched to No. 96 to honor the year he arrived in the 

NHL, but coach Scotty Bowman suggested something else. 

The details have gotten hazy, and they depend on who you talk to. 

But the conversation went something like this: 

“You should wear 98,” Bowman said. 

“What do you mean?” Holmstrom said. “Why?” 

“Because that’s the year you’ll be going home.” 

Really, it was amazing Holmstrom had made it to the NHL at all. 

He hadn’t been drafted until he was 21, and even then, he wasn’t 

taken until the 10th round – 257th overall. He was a goofy guy from 

a small town in northern Sweden who could barely speak English 

and barely skate at a professional level. 

But Bowman was kidding, and Holmstrom has had the last laugh. 

It is 2012. 

“I’m still here,” Holmstrom said, grinning. 

Holmstrom is 39 now and a four-time Stanley Cup champion. 

When he steps onto the ice Friday night against the Anaheim Ducks, 

he will become only the sixth man to play 1,000 regular-season 

games for the Red Wings, joining Gordie Howe, Alex Delvecchio, 

Steve Yzerman, Nicklas Lidstrom and Kris Draper. 

He has found a home in Detroit as a humble, hard-working, selfdeprecating 

role player, still Homer, the same goofy guy from a 

small town in northern Sweden. 

His English has improved, but it’s all relative. His accent used to 

be so thick that people couldn’t even guess where he was from. Now 

at least they try. “They go, ‘Are you French Canadian?’ ” Holmstrom 

said. ” ‘Yeah. Oui.’ “ 

His skating has improved, too. But again, it’s all relative. 

Holmstrom will become only the 48th man in NHL history to play 



1,000 regular-season games with one team, and according to the 

man who discovered him, Hakan Andersson, the Wings’ director of 

European scouting, “he’s the worst skater of them all.” 

But that’s the beauty of it. Holmstrom has reached 1,000 games 

the hard way – overcoming his limitations with hockey sense and 

heart, battling in front of the net, taking cross-checks and slashes, 

setting screens, tipping pucks. 

Somehow. 

“You ever seen his stick?” said Draper, who retired last summer 

and works for the Wings as a scout. “He’s a left-handed shot, and 

it’s curved right-handed.” 

Holmstrom doesn’t wear full shoulder pads. He has shoulder 

caps sewn onto his suspenders, something Wings equipment 

manager Paul Boyer hasn’t seen since Guy Lafleur. He doesn’t 

need protection up there; he needs it where he gets whacked on his 

lower back and legs. Since coming over from Sweden, he has had 

the same plastic pieces of cut-up shoulder pads behind his calves, 

tied to his shin guards with skate laces. 

Both of his knees need braces and regular injections of synthetic 

lubrication. One knee hasn’t had a medial collateral ligament his 

entire NHL career. 

“The way that he plays and the abuse that he took, you probably 

would have thought that his body would just give up on him,” Draper 

said. “I think his body has given up on him, but his pain threshold is 

probably as high as I’ve ever seen.” 

Holmstrom said that to his body, this feels like 1,500 games. 

To goaltenders, it must feel like 1,500,000. 

“He’s not an elite skater, yet he’s an elite competitor,” said Wings 

coach Mike Babcock. “It just goes to show you that players come in 

all different sizes, shapes and abilities, and Homer’s managed to 

have a good enough package to play a long time.” 

Holmstrom’s limitations have never involved desire. He received 

his first pair of skates as a toddler. The first time he tried them, 

he had to be dragged off the ice. One morning soon afterward, 

his parents woke up, and he was gone. They called for him. They 

searched for him. They called neighbors and asked if anyone had 

seen him. 

Then they noticed his skates were gone, too. 

They called the nearby outdoor rink. Yes, they were told. There 

is a little guy here sleeping peacefully on a bench. Holmstrom had 

gotten up, gone to the rink, asked someone to lace up his skates and 

made his way around the ice for an hour or so. Finally, he plopped 

down, exhausted. 

Years later, his coach told the team to go home for Christmas. 

Two days off. No practice. 

“Even though it was Christmas, he was grumpy and not very fun 

to have around the house,” Andersson said. “The morning after, he 

was really grumpy. So his dad said, ‘Go ahead and practice. I’m not 

going to tell the coach anything.’ And he lit up like a Christmas tree, 

and out the door he went.” 

Holmstrom was 17 when Andersson first saw him. He was one 

of 30 players in his age group invited to a Team Sweden camp. He 

chased the puck, went to the net, fought for rebounds, never gave 

up. But he was small – maybe 5-foot-10, 165 pounds. He didn’t 

make the team. 

“I didn’t think more of it,” Andersson said. “I may have put in a 

little note about a little guy who played with good intensity and 

something like that.” 

A couple of years later, Andersson was chatting with a coach in 

northern Sweden. He asked who the best player was in his league. 

The coach said it was a 20-year-old named Tomas Holmstrom. The 

little guy had grown to 5-foot-11, 190 pounds. He was a physical 

player. He was known as the “Demolition Man.” 

Andersson went to see Holmstrom a couple of times. He put him 

on his list. 

“Skating was an issue – still is, almost, you know?” Andersson 

said. “But I felt that he had pretty good hands around the net. I felt he 

had good sense. He could anticipate what was going on, where the 

puck was going to bounce, kind of. And he seemed very dedicated.” 

Bowman said even though the Wings drafted Holmstrom in the 

10th round in 1994, Andersson told his colleagues he had a good 

chance to replace Dino Ciccarelli as the net-front presence on the 

power play. 

The Demolition Man made an immediate impression when he 

arrived in Detroit two years later, just as the Wings traded Ciccarelli 

to the Tampa Bay Lightning. He almost took out The Captain. 

“I think his first shift in training camp, he tried to run Stevie, and 

I think someone kind of had to grab him, like, ‘Ooh, you don’t do 

that,’ ” Draper said. ” ‘Never mind seeing 1,000 games, you won’t 

see Game 1.’ “ 

One day, the Wings were doing a drill. Bowman was yelling at 

Holmstrom to go faster. 

“Then finally Homer says, ‘Well, I’m going as fast as I can,’ ” 

Draper said. “And then Scotty’s like, ‘If that’s as fast as you can go, 

we’ve got to get someone that can go faster.’ Homer puts his head 

down and starts digging in. I don’t think that conversation went the 

way he thought it was going to.” 

Another day, Draper was sitting in the sauna when Holmstrom 

came in. 

“He goes, ‘How do you get out of the coach’s dog yard?’ ” Draper 

said. “He goes, ‘I’m in it, and I can’t get out.’ I go, ‘Homer, doghouse?’ 

‘Doghouse. Dog yard. I’m in it!’ “ 

But he didn’t stay in it. 

“You could have a lot of fun with Homer,” Bowman said. “They kid 

him a lot. He was the butt of different jokes. But he’s a pretty sharp 

guy. People don’t think he is, but he’s a real sharp guy.” 

They kid him about being sharp. 

“He’s obviously a pretty smart guy when he gets the puck,” 

Draper said, setting up his punch line. “He gives it to Pav or ‘Z’ or 

Nick and then goes right back to the front of the net. I mean, you’ve 

got to say he’s an intelligent hockey player, right?” 

Ha, ha. But you don’t play with stars like Lidstrom, Pavel Datsyuk 

and Henrik Zetterberg unless you’re smart, especially if you can’t 

skate. He has spent time on the Wings’ top line with Datsyuk and 

Zetterberg at even strength. 

“He’s a smart, smart player,” Zetterberg said. 

Seriously. 

They kid him about the goals he has erased by interfering with 

the goaltender. 

“If you ask Nick, it’s probably 50 of his goals,” Holmstrom said. 

They kid him about the phantom goals he has gotten. 

“We always kid around with him if it goes in,” Draper said. ” ‘Did 

you touch it? Did you touch it?’ ‘I think so. Let’s check the video.’ “ 

Ha, ha. But for all the disallowed goals and phantom goals, 

Holmstrom has created many more goals for his teammates. 

For all his screens and deflections, he hasn’t gotten the credit he 

deserves. He should have more than his 284 career assists. He 

earned his 240 goals. Nearly all of them have come within a few 

feet of the net. 

What he does is an art. 

It starts with sheer will, for sure. Guys like Rob Blake and Ed 

Belfour used to give him beatings in front of the net. But it goes 

beyond will. It extends to discipline, timing, guile. 

Holmstrom hardly ever loses his cool, takes a penalty and 

nullifies a power play. He hardly ever loses his concentration. 

“Most guys are trying to find out who’s cross-checking them, not 

worried about the puck,” Babcock said. “The good guys don’t worry 

about getting cross-checked. They can always find the puck.” 



Holmstrom finds the puck at the right time. He doesn’t just stand 

there. If he sets up too early, a defenseman could knock him out of 

the way or the goaltender could just look around him. So he lurks. 

He waits. He keeps his stick from being tied up. 

After years of practicing and playing – especially with his point 

man, Lidstrom – he knows when the shot is coming and where it is 

going to go. He knows the precise moment he needs to block the 

goaltender’s vision. He knows how to change the direction of the 

shot just enough, and he has the hand-eye coordination to get his 

stick on pucks you wouldn’t expect. 

“He positions himself really well in front of the goalie’s eyes,” 

said the Edmonton Oilers’ Ryan Smyth, another net-front expert. 

“He pretty much acts as a goalie as far as moving and the angles.” 

“Sometimes it feels like you move over, and he’s already there,” 

said Oilers goaltender Nikolai Khabibulin. “The shot already comes, 

and you have no time to do anything. I think it’s a talent. Even if 

the pucks are going wide, you still cannot relax with him, because 

sometimes he still gets his stick on it and he brings the puck back 

towards the net. When he’s there, especially on the power play, you 

can never relax.” 

Holmstrom knows his enemies, too. Bowman, now a senior 

advisor for the Chicago Blackhawks, watched the Wings play the 

St. Louis Blues recently. Jaroslav Halak was deep in his crease. 

Holmstrom backed in, touched him and came out. Halak, a hothead, 

got upset, came out and pushed Holmstrom. 

“Now he was out of the crease, and then the shot came,” Bowman 

said. “The goal went in.” 

Pretty sharp. 

Holmstrom has adapted well through the years. 

Some rule changes have helped him. He doesn’t have to worry 

about leaving his pinky toe in the crease anymore, and defensemen 

and goaltenders can’t hack him as much as they used to. 

Some of the rule changes have challenged him, but he has risen 

to that challenge. The crackdown on obstruction after the 2004- 

05 lockout led to more speed and more penalties. You’d think 

Holmstrom would have been left behind at even strength, able to 

survive only on the power play. But look at the numbers: In the two 

seasons before the lockout, Holmstrom scored 35 goals, 18 of them 

(51.4 percent) on the power play. In the two seasons afterward, 

Holmstrom scored 59 goals, 24 of them (40.6 percent) on the power 

play. 

The third season after the lockout, he averaged 17:33 of ice time 

in the regular season and 17:10 in the playoffs, both career highs. 

The fourth season after the lockout, a guy who used to be minus-12 

was plus-18, another career high. 

In other words, Holmstrom raised his all-around game, at least 

at his peak. Asked how much he had improved his skating, he 

cracked: “I wonder.” But he said he felt he had proven a lot. He cut 

his weight from a high of 220 to about 200 and kept it there. He did 

whatever he could. 

“If I didn’t turn out to be a better skater, I don’t think I would be 

able to play. Even if I’m not a good skater, I get there,” Holmstrom 

said. “You’ve got to work on your game all the time. There are young, 

good, fast kids coming up all the time. They want to take your spot.” 

Holmstrom would love to keep his spot for the foreseeable 

future. He would love to keep driving to the rink every home game 

with Lidstrom. 

But his contract expires after the season, and his body has 

taken a lot of wear and tear. His knees are grinding bone on bone. 

He doesn’t do any jumping because the pounding is too much. 

Sometimes he can’t run. 

When he took shots of lubricant in both knees during the all-star 

break, he suffered a bad reaction and had to sit out a game. He 

probably will need surgery after he retires so he can run, ski and 

play tennis, so he can enjoy an active life. 

“It’s going to be a big decision for sure,” Holmstrom said. “We’ll 

decide after the season.” 

Eventually his number will be up. But whenever it is, it will be a 

long way from ’98, and his legacy will be this: 

Sometimes what you can do outweighs what you can’t. 

“As a scout, you have to evaluate every player individually,” 

Andersson said. “They have some good things and some bad 

things. Tomas Holmstrom, you know what I mean?”
