Dallas Stars Daily Links: Stars Want Nystrom To Help Build Team Character
The Dallas Stars knew they would have to make the best of a bad situation. All of the team's carefully laid cap plans went out the window just before the regular season when Sean Avery fell so out of favor with the New York Rangers that he found himself on the waiver wire. So while the Stars were...
$500 Million For The Pistons? Source Says Ilitch Would Pay Less Than $400 Million
Apparently, the initial asking price to buy the Detroit Pistons franchise and Palace Sports & Entertainment Inc. has been set. According to Crain's Detroit Business, that price is unlikely to be matched. And if Pistons fans want the "pizza and sports boss" to be the next Pistons owner, they'll hope...
June 2, 1982: 28 years later
Just taking a look around on the Detroit website I noticed that 28 years ago today, Mike and Marian Ilitch bought the Red Wings from the Norris family. In the 28 years they've owned the team, the Ilitches have shown undying dedication to the team and have done everything possible to further the...
Ilitch attempts a staff shuffling in order to keep Yzerman
Interesting bits of information about Red Wings owner Mike Ilitch trying to shuffle staff in Detroit in order to keep Steve Yzerman with the franchise. Yzerman, of course, is thought to be the leading candidate for the Lightning general manger role: "Stevie Y wants to become a GM; we'd love to...
Do the Right Thing, Detroit Tigers: Honor Sparky Anderson
Tom Gage already covered this in Friday's Detroit News, and I'm glad he did, because one of the city's veteran baseball writers should be taking the Detroit Tigers and their ownership to task for failing to do the right thing. But I intended to write a similar article for today, and I'm still going...

Morning Prowl: Get Well, Big Al; Porcello's Early Success; Praise for Ilitch; and Let's Go, Wings!
Thoughts and get well wishes go out to our friend Big Al Beaton, who underwent back surgery at the University of Michigan hospital yesterday. If you know Al at all, you know what he's been through with his health. So while this procedure and recovery will be grueling for him, it gives him a...
The Big Three in Centerfield
I wanted to ask if anyone who might have snapped a photo of the automaker logos in centerfield while at today's home opener could post it in the FanPosts or send it over, but the Tigers' official website provided a first glimpse earlier this week. With all the trouble that General Motors has...
Like Stripes on the Fur Coat of a Tiger - 01/29
If you missed it last night, the latest episode of MLB Network's "Baseball Seasons" looks at the 1968 season. The show will be replayed at 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. today, 10 a.m. on Saturday, and 1 a.m. on Sunday. Tim Kurkjian sees a close race in the AL Central, but doesn't think the Tigers did...
Wings owner says schedule will change
I was very happy to hear Red Wings owner Mike Ilitch say that the NHL schedule format will change after this season. I am not fan of the heavy divisional play (and it doesn't help when you're in the Central Division) and the fact that we don't see every Eastern Conference team each season much less...
