- Loyalty Is the Wind Beneath These Wings
  
  newser | ESPN | Jun 5, 08 11:27 AM CDT
  
  Red Wings captain Nicklas Lidstrom and Finals MVP Henrik Zetterberg both learned their hockey skills in Sweden, but it's not Detroit's strategy of drawing European talent that secured them this year's Stanley Cup. The team's success, writes Scot Burnside for ESPN, is due to management's willingness to gamble on older mainstays of the Hockeytown franchise. More »

  newser | Detroit News | Jun 4, 08 9:49 PM CDT
  
  The Detroit Red Wings held off the resilient Pittsburgh Penguins tonight to win their fourth Stanley Cup in 11 years, the Detroit News reports. Detroit won Game 6 by a score of 3-2 after surviving a near repeat of their late collapse in the previous game. The Penguins scored with about 90 seconds left to make it a one-goal game, then came within a whisker of a miraculous tying goal by Marion Hossa as time ran out. Brian Rafalski, Valtteri Filippula and playoff MVP Henrik Zetterberg scored for the Wings. More »

- Wings Bring Familiar Fury to Stanley Cup Ice
  
  newser | Detroit News | Jun 1, 08 2:57 PM CDT
  
  If the Red Wings are marching inexorably toward possession of another Stanley Cup, it's thanks in large part to their remarkable composure, writes Bob Wojnowski for the Detroit News . Henrik Zetterberg and Co. kept their cool last night despite an early deficit and potential peril of a long 5-on-3, making every play and stuffing Kid Crosby over and over. More »

- Wings 1 Win Away From Cup
  
  newser | Detroit Free Press | May 31, 08 10:54 PM CDT
  
  Detroit is just one game away from yet another meeting with Lord Stanley. The Red Wings beat Pittsburgh 2-1 tonight to take a 3-1 lead in the Stanley Cup Finals. Jiri Hudler broke a 1-1 tie early in the third, and goalie Chris Osgood turned in one of his best games of the playoffs, the Detroit Free Press reports. Nicklas Lidstrom scored Detroit's other goal, while Marion Hossa got Pittsburgh's. Game 5 is Monday night in Detroit. More »
- NHL Headed For Friendly Confines
  
  newser | Chicago Tribune | May 29, 08 4:00 PM CDT
  
  It appears Chicago’s famed Wrigley Field will host an outdoor NHL game next year, after competitor Yankee Stadium was deemed unsuitable “for a variety of reasons,” the Tribune reports. The hometown Blackhawks would play the rival Detroit Red Wings in the third edition of the open-air contest, played in 2003 in Edmonton and this year in Buffalo. More »
- Crosby Nets Two; Pens Take Game 3
  
  newser | Pittsburgh Post-Gazette | May 28, 08 10:00 PM CDT

Teen phenom Sidney Crosby scored twice to lead the Pittsburgh Penguins to a 3-2 victory over Detroit in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Finals, the Post-Gazette reports. The Penguins finally found their offense after being shut out in the first two games. Now they hope to even the series when they host Game 4 Saturday night. More »
- Wings Skate by Waddling Penguins, 3-0
  
  newser | Detroit News | May 27, 08 1:00 AM CDT
  
  In the second game of the Stanley Cup finals last night, the Red Wings had made eight shots and scored two goals before the Penguins attempted their first shot, and the lopsidedness continued throughout the game, writes the Detroit News . After a 3-0 loss last night, Pittsburgh has yet to score, as experience appears to be trumping youth. More »
- Red Wings Ice Penguins in 4-0 Rout
  
  newser | Detroit Free Press | May 25, 08 1:00 AM CDT
  
  For a while it looked like the kickoff of the Stanley Cup finals would be a goalie's battle, but then Detroit's Mikael Samuelsson kicked into gear with goals in the second and third periods. Two more Red Wings goals on Pittsburgh's Marc-Andre Fleury, by Dan Cleary and Henrik Zetterberg, sealed the Penguins' 4-0 fate, reports the Detroit Free Press. More »
- NHL Hopes Star-Studded Final Lifts Hockey
  
  newser | Washington Post | May 24, 08 1:39 PM CDT
  
  The NHL may have dinky ratings and a long way to go to catch the big three of American sports, but it couldn’t ask for a better pick-me-up than this year’s Stanley Cup final. The Pittsburgh-Detroit matchup that starts tonight is one of the most compelling in years, the Washington Post notes. The Penguins are loaded with young phenoms like Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin, while Detroit boasts a veteran lineup well suited for "Hockey Town." More »
- No Octopi for Wings Fans, Seller Says
  
  newser | Detroit Free Press | May 23, 08 8:33 PM CDT
  
  Red Wings fans, save room in that suitcase—it may be tough to buy an octopus in Pittsburgh next week. One steel-town fishmonger refuses to sell octopi to Detroit fans once the Wings-Penguins Stanley Cup finals kick off on Saturday. In a tradition spanning more than 50 years, Detroit fans have been tossing eight-leggers on the ice to boost their team, the Detroit Free Press reports. More »
- Retailers Also Have Stock in Playoffs
  
  newser | Pittsburgh Post-Gazette | May 18, 08 2:39 PM CDT
  
  Fans aren't the only ones rooting for particular teams in the NHL and NBA playoffs: Retailers are hedging their bets as well, getting ready to print different shirts and hats depending on games' outcomes. If Pittsburgh clinches the NHL Eastern Conference today, thousands of commemorative garments will hit the stores within hours; otherwise, sellers will stay in limbo, reports the Post-Gazette. More »
- Stars Avoid Sweep, Send West Finals Back to Detroit
  
  newser | Associated Press | May 14, 08 11:27 PM CDT
  
  Detroit's goal with a guy barely in the crease, if at all, didn't count. Dallas' goal with a guy clearly in the crease did count. Apparently, that's what it takes to slow the mighty Red Wings. Loui Ericksson's goal about 12 minutes after Detroit's was waved off, then third-period goals from Mike Modano and Brenden Morrow sent the Stars past the Red Wings 3-1. More »
- Red Wings Push Stars to the Brink
  
  newser | Associated Press | May 12, 08 10:13 PM CDT

  newser | Associated Press | May 10, 08 10:17 PM CDT

- Red Wings Win Opener
  
  newser | Associated Press | May 8, 08 9:53 PM CDT

- Red Wings Send Avs Packing
  
  newser | Associated Press | May 2, 08 12:41 AM CDT
  
  Johan Franzen outscored the Colorado Avalanche by himself. His second hat trick in three games fueled the Detroit Red Wings' 8-2 rout last night that completed a sweep of the Avalanche. Franzen needed just 10 playoff games to score 11 goals and break the Red Wings' record for most goals in one postseason, which was held by three players, including Brett Hull. More »

- Red Wings Go Up 3-0 on Avs
  
  newser | Associated Press | Apr 30, 08 12:06 AM CDT
  
  The usually heated Colorado-Detroit matchup has never been this one-sided, on the scoreboard or in the trainer's room. Pavel Datsyuk scored twice and Johan Franzen picked up his sixth goal of the series, putting the Red Wings on the cusp of the Western Conference finals with a 4-3 victory Tuesday night over the ailing Avalanche. More »
- Franzen's Hat Trick Pulls Red Wings Past Avs
  
  newser | Associated Press | Apr 26, 08 6:02 PM CDT
  
  Johan Franzen and the Detroit Red Wings are kicking the Colorado Avalanche when they're down. Franzen scored three times to lift Detroit to a 5-1 victory today over the banged-up Avs, giving them a 2-0 lead in the Western Conference semifinal. Franzen redirected a shot early in the game, scored on a wraparound in the second and whacked a rebound out of the air in the third. More »
- Red Wings Beat Avalanche, 4-3
  
  newser | Associated Press | Apr 25, 08 12:25 AM CDT
  
  Johan Franzen's name is not at the top of scouting reports for Detroit Red Wings' opponents. It might be now. The second-line wing from Sweden scored two goals and had an assist to help the Red Wings build a three-goal cushion, and they held on to beat the Colorado Avalanche 4-3 in Game 1 of their NHL second-round playoffs series last night.
