Red Wings Rumblings
Somber yet positive. That’s my vibe today as a fan of the Detroit Red Wings. Somber because we are still waiting to learn more about Lucas Raymond’s health.

No practice yesterday, so we’ll find out more later today.
UPDATE: Lucas Raymond skated at practice . Coach says he’s out tonight and is considered ...

It’s early and all that, but the Islanders really need a win — hell, even an extra-time loss — to avoid all the terrible associations that would come with an 0-4 start. Buffalo and San Jose are the only other winless teams thus far, and that’s not great company to keep. Worse, their opponent on […]

The Maple Leafs’ stars woke up offensively, and their depth scoring continued to chip in as they lit up the Nashville Predators for seven (two empty-netters) on Tuesday night.

Ryan Hartman had a turbulent season with the Minnesota Wild last year. He only registered 26 points in 69 games, his lowest scoring total since the 2020-21 campaign. The pesky forward also drew the longest suspension in the league when the NHL banned him for 10 games (later reduced to eight) after a...

Well, 1-2-0 isn’t the start you draw up, especially when you’re swept in a home-and-home with a division rival. But it’s too early to panic. It would be one thing if the Leafs’ top players were producing and they were losing games, but the opposite has been true so far. William Nylander put his first […]
