The red wings have played in five preseason games. So far they are 3-2, but that doesn't mean anything. Their regular season kicks off tonight when the Detroit Red Wings face off with the Toronto Maple Leafs @Joe Louis Arena . They are happy in what they saw in the preseason with their young prospects, but they still need to improve to get more skilled if they want to be successful in this league. On the bad side of things, Nick Lindstrom is out for at least three games. Just the other night he took a shoot right to the beak. He broke his nose, but he is still scheduled to play tonight. Some other shocking news is that three important and valuable players got sent down to the affiliate Grand Rapids Griffins. Those three players include Ville Levino, Darren Helm, and Jonathan Erickson. It was a tough decision for Mike Babcock to make, but the roster needed to be trimmed. I'm sure that they wont be playing there long, because they are talented enough to play in the pros. If they were on any other NHL team, they would make the team for sure, but since they are in the wings organization they don't have a great chance to play. The red wings have a lot of depth and they are very dense in talent. It should be interesting to see what the red wings can and can't do. We will find out tonight @ 7:00. Can they live up to their expectations, or will they buckle under the pressure. Can they do it, or not?????
