With Valtteri Filppula out 6-8 weeks because of a broken bone in his right wrist, this almost certainly necessitates the Wings break up Henrik Zetterberg and Pavel Datsyuk because of a shortage of skilled centers. Zetterberg and Datsyuk started the season separately, anyways, and only were reunited because neither was doing much offensively. Now both have gotten going, with Datsyuk having racked up...

from Pierre LeBrun of ESPN, Whatever the reason, he’s a different player on the ice. He gets from A to Z so much quicker these days. The puck seems to follow him. “I do feel faster,” said Penner. “I’ve watched some of my shifts on tape.” Perhaps he’s simply had his eureka moment. The 27-year-old would be following in the long line of power wingers that have...

In an effort to generate more offense, Valtteri Filppula is taking over playing between big wingers Todd Bertuzzi and Dan Cleary.

Todd Bertuzzi figures that for a change, he'll just blend in Saturday night when the Wings play at Pepsi Center against Colorado. In short, Bertuzzi, then with the Canucks, became a public enemy here after punching then-Avalanche forward Steve Moore in the head from behind on March 8, 2004, during a game in Vancouver, injuring Moore to the point his NHL career ended. Bertuzzi was suspended...

So. I don’t think it’s been an outright directive from the Hahn Office of Information Control. I don’t think he’s sat the Diggers down collectively, or individually, and bluntly told them the subject is off-limits. But I’m damn near certain the organ-I-zation has made it clear that when our Deep Diggers write about Todd Bertuzzi? The topic of Steve Moore is just not something...

If the Freep, News, and mLive’s reports today are any indication. How does that work? Maybe… Babcock: “Good game boys, you’re off until Monday. Except you, Todd. Media duty.” Bertuzzi: “…” Media Time Babcock/Hahn: “Okay, let’s get this over with. Today, you can only talk to and about Todd Bertuzzi.” Media (together, chanting): “Okay!”...
