Wings up 3-0. It can't get much better than this. Let's go ahead and sweep those clowns and get ready for the next round. In all three games Detroit has been great in the first 2 periods and everybody has gotten into the act. I haven't kept count but it seems like 10 different players have scored a goal in the 3 games.

Red Wings' Datsyuk has shot at Selke Trophy 4-peat

DETROIT (AP) - Pavel Datsyuk learned how to dangle the puck on his stick and snatch it away from others as a kid.

"In Russia, we had tough times. Only one puck," he said. "I always wanted the puck, so I learn how to keep it and make space and get puck when other guy has it."

The Detroit Red Wings star learned his craft well, making him one of the best two-way players in NHL history. He was named a finalist for the Selke Trophy on Wednesday with Vancouver's Ryan Kesler and Chicago's Jonathan Toews.

Datsyuk has a chance to earn the award that honors the league's NHL's best defensive forward a fourth straight time. He became the first player to win it three years in a row since Bob Gainey's four-peat from 1978 to 1981 after the inception of the trophy.

"Every year, it gets harder and harder," Datsyuk said.

Detroit drafted Datsyuk 171st overall in 1998 and he has turned out to be a late-round steal.

The Wings absolutely must get bigger (or grittier) in this next off-season.

Having all of the skill in the world is great but when you get pushed around all game long because you're too small, you lose in the playoffs every year.

The Wings have scheduled a press conference for 11:00 AM tomorrow. Ken Holland and Brian Rafalski are scheduled to attend.

Rafalski is retiring. I think his back has finally given up on him.

It's sad, he's one of the best ever American born defensemen which is overlooked and honestly he was a key in 2006, but he hasn't been the same player since.

Lidstrom to return for 20th season

Red Wings' captain agrees to one-year contract


DETROIT – The Red Wings got their man when legendary defenseman Nicklas Lidstrom told team officials last week that he will return for a 20th NHL season.

Terms of Lidstrom’s one-year contract were not finalized before today when the 41-year-old captain and general manager Ken Holland got together in Las Vegas. The Wings' pair is in Vegas for Wednesday’s NHL Award Show, where Lidstrom will learn if he won Norris Trophy for the seventh time in his career. He is also a finalist for the Lady Byng Trophy and the Mark Messier Leadership Award.
