Shaved Ice – Feb. 13
Welcome to a Wednesday edition of Shaved Ice. Had a rare Tuesday night college hockey tilt in Michigan last night, as Northern Michigan and Michigan Tech renewed their U.P. rivalry. Apparently the Huskies were the only team that got the memo about the game though; they posted an impressive 8-2 win in the last non-conference…

Shaved Ice – Feb. 11

Howard’s time off did him well – he stopped 68 of the 71 shots he faced over the Wings’ back-to-back wins against Edmonton and…

That’s because the Red Wings have long eschewed fisticuffs as productive, while they were…

Shaved Ice – Feb. 8
Snow day edition, starring Petr Mrazek. What a night for 20-year-old Petr Mrazek. Talk quickly went from “check out how cool that mask is” to “check out all those saves” in a hurry. Now, he did get some help from his new teammates – the Wings finally picked up some secondary scoring, and they helped…

From The Crease: Getting The Nod
By Dave DeSander (guest writer) – Being part of a team as a goalie means that sometimes you won’t always be the starter. Regardless of whether it’s because of a recent sub-par performance, politics, lack of experience, etc, a coach will have a certain goalie labeled as the backup. Due to the unpredictability of the…

Shaved Ice – Feb. 7
Mrazek gets the start. Good thing he’s got a sweet mask to wear while playing goal. The Wings will finally give Jimmy Howard a break tonight, as they will start rookie goaltender Petr Mrazek in St. Louis. Check out the mask the AHL All-Star has been wearing this season – it was designed by David…

Shaved Ice – Feb. 6
Press day edition of Shaved Ice. MiHockeyMag goes to press this afternoon. Rough night for the Red Wings last night, as the Flames rolled into town to disappoint a JLA crowd with a 4-1 win. Former Wolverines star Mike Cammalleri had helpers on the first two goals, by the way. Recap from The Joe, written…
