Gary Bettman has been the
Commissioner of the NHL since 1993 and in my opinion is the worst
commissioner in the history of sports. Under his watch the NHL has
gone from one of the big four sports in America to a niche sport that
has to fight to have its games televised. He has presided over three
work stoppages, two that cut seasons in half and one the eliminated
an entire season. He has instituted rule changes that have taken the
teeth out of the game and wonders why more players are getting hurt.
He refuses to change things that will improve the on ice product and
can’t figure out why the sport’s popularity is fading. He needs
to be replaced as soon as possible and pretty much anyone would be
better. As a matter of fact I would be interested in filling the
position. If I were hired there are quite a few things I would
change.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
One of my main goals would be to
repair the relationship between the NHL and the player’s union.
Currently it is so toxic that neither side thinks they can trust what
the other is saying and that needs to change. The players need to
realize that the owners have to make their money and that without
them there wouldn’t be a league to play in. The owners need to
realize that the players want to make as much money as they can as
quickly as they can, before their careers are over and without them
their wouldn’t be a product to put on the ice. In other words both
sides cannot exist without each other. I think it is totally
ridiculous that relations between Bettman and whoever is running the
union are so bad that there have been three lockouts since 1994. The
management side of the NHL and the owners has never really accepted
the union and it is my belief that Bettman has tried to break the
union every time the collective bargaining agreement has come up for
renewal. The NHL made 4.1 billion dollars last year and is scheduled
to make even more this year. I see no reason why there isn’t
enough money to go around and as long as neither side is too greedy
everybody should be able to get along. While my ideas might be
considered radical I think they will make the NHL a better product
and maybe return some of the luster to a sport that was fallen from
its once lofty perch.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
My biggest complaint over the
years has finally been addressed; moving the Red Wings to the Eastern
Conference. I can’t believe it took this long to move them but I’m
happy about it. Bettman could have done a better job and re-aligned
the entire NHL and made travel a minor issue. My plan would put
Montreal, Toronto, Boston, New York Rangers, Detroit and Chicago, all
of the original six teams in one division; I would put Buffalo,
Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, New Jersey and the New York Islanders in
another division. The final Eastern Conference division would be
Ottawa, Washington, Carolina, Florida and Tampa Bay. In the Western
Conference one division would be comprised of Minnesota, Columbus,
Nashville, St. Louis and Dallas. The second division would be
Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Colorado and Phoenix and the third
division would be Vancouver, San Jose, Anaheim and Los Angeles. If
you examine that setup travel would mostly be within one time zone or
at worst a few games one time zone away. I would also change the
number of games in a season from 82 to 75 and set it up differently.
Teams would play non-divisional conference foes twice, once on the
road and once at home. They would play divisional opponents eight
times, four at home four on the road, except for the six team
division which would play each other seven times rotating every year
which team would have the extra home game. That would add up to 62
games for the divisions with five teams and 65 games for the six team
division and have teams play clubs from the other conference to make
up the difference.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
I would also change the playoff
system and the number of teams that qualify for the post-season.
Rather than the best eight teams in each conference making the
playoffs, I would have the three division winners and the next best
two teams qualify. I would give the team with the best record in the
conference a bye in the first two round to make up for the odd number
of teams but I would keep all series as the best of seven. That
would mean if you were a conference winner you would play between
eight and fourteen games to win the cup and every other team would
play between sixteen and 28 games. Lowering the number of qualifying
teams and giving a two round bye to the conference winner will make
the regular season mean something, which would be a great change from
the current system where more than half the teams in the league make
the post-season and teams go through periods where they coast, this
would end that and force teams to play all out all season long.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
There are two rule changes I
would tackle if I were Commissioner. The first rule I would change
would be the instigator rule, I think that is one of the main reasons
players are getting hurt more often recently. If that rule is
removed the players will police themselves and the number of illegal
hits and other incidents will go down. If players have to worry
about dealing with enforcers and the enforcers don’t have to worry
about an extra two minutes the game will return to a level of
incidents from years past. I would also change the way goalies are
treated outside the crease. I wouldn’t make them completely fair
game but if they’re outside the crease handling the puck and a
players runs into them trying to get the puck there shouldn’t be a
penalty called. As it stands now if a player taps a goalie anywhere
on the ice he is whistled for goalie interference or roughing, that
is just stupid and gives an unfair advantage to the goalkeeper. I
would also start a committee of players, owners, NHL officials and
refs to settle once and for all the issues regarding what is and
isn’t a penalty for interference, hooking, slashing etc. The
current system of refs being instructed by the league to call
penalties tightly in the beginning of the season and players and
coaches having to figure it out is ridiculous. The players, coaches
and refs need to be on the same page from the first game to the last,
season after season. This committee would be charged with coming up
with a standard for each penalty, that the refs would stick to all
season, including the playoffs and the players would learn to play
around.
</div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
I understand that most of these
changes would require negotiations with the player’s union and that
is why I consider the repair of the relationship between the league
and union so important. I believe that if the two sides can learn to
trust each other then most of these items would not be a big deal to
get enacted. The owners and players have to realize that their sport
is failing and changes need to be made if they wish to regain
relevance. I think hockey is one of the best sports on earth and I
wish more people agreed with me and I think these changes would go a
long way to making that happen. </div>

Bud Selig has been the Commissioner of Major League Baseball since 1992 and says he will retire at the end of the 2014 season. During his tenure baseball has endured a strike that cancelled the entire 1994 season, including the World Series, implemented inter-league play and consolidated power with his office rather then their being a president of both the National and American Leagues as had been the case since the leagues were founded. He presided over the return of baseball after 9-11 and was the decision maker that resulted in the 7-7 tie of the 202 All-Star Game. He was also Commissioner during the discovery of wide-spread use of performance enhancing drugs, one of the worst scandals in baseball history. <br />
He has been involved in many other decisions that have changed baseball. Selig's decision to extend the traditional post-season schedule into November in an attempt to increase Nielsen ratings was met with widespread disdain, both inside and outside the baseball community. Selig has made some decisions involving the Houston Astros that were unpopular with their supporters. He ordered the roof at Minute Maid Park to be opened for games three and four of the 2005 World Series, pre-empting the authority held by the Astros. The roof was closed for all prior playoff games and similar weather conditions. For Hurricane Ike in 2008, Selig mandated that the Astros play two home games against the Chicago Cubs in his hometown of Milwaukee despite proximity to the visiting Cubs. The Astros subsequently were victims of a no-hitter by Carlos Zambrano and recorded a single hit in the following game. In the midst of the playoff race, this decision and its impact deeply affected the playoff race and seedings with eight teams holding winning records at the moment. The Milwaukee Brewers benefited from these events by qualifying in the playoffs as a Wild Card team. The home ballparks for the Texas Rangers and Atlanta Braves were both available to host the games. In 2011, Selig also demanded that the Astros move to the American League West as a condition of the sale of the franchise to businessman Jim Crane; the team switched leagues in 2013 in return for $70 million discount in the purchase price. Selig also drew criticism for his handling of the Los Angeles Dodgers situation. United States bankruptcy judge Kevin Gross rendered a stern warning to Selig in regards to the Dodgers ownership dispute. Treating other teams differently in regards to their media contracts drew accusations that Selig did not act in good faith with respect to the Los Angeles Dodgers. Selig rejected the television deal that Frank McCourt negotiated that intended to bring the franchise out of bankruptcy, claiming McCourt violated the Baseball Agreements although no action taken against New York Mets owner Fred Wilpon despite being in a similar position. Some critics have used Selig's handling of the Dodgers to point out a double standard in treatment of MLB owners. More specifically in regards to the Mets, critics point out Selig's personal relationship with Wilpon has allowed him to stall any possible removal of Wilpon as that club's principal owner. <br />
Selig was also responsible for the realignment of teams into three divisions per league, and the introduction of playoff wild card teams (1994), the addition of two franchises: the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, now the Tampa Bay Rays (1998), transfer of the Milwaukee Brewers (the team he owned until he became commissioner) from the American League to the National League (1998), Unbalanced schedule (2001), Home field advantage in the World Series granted to the winner of the All Star Game in the same season (2003), Transfer of Montreal Expos franchise to Washington, D.C., becoming the Washington Nationals (2004), Dedicating April 15 as Jackie Robinson Day (2004), Stricter Major League Baseball performance-enhancing drug testing policy (2005), World Baseball Classic (2006), Introduction of instant replay in the event of a disputed home run call (2008) and the introducing a second wild card playoff team in each league (2012). Quite an impressive list of accomplishments, some good, some bad but has he done enough to keep baseball in the forefront of the minds of people around the world? I think there are six things a Commissioner could do to improve the product of baseball.<br />
First, I believe the season is too long, I'm not saying the 162 games are too many, just that the season lasts too long. In 1984, the last year the Tigers won the World Series, the season started on April 2nd and ended October 14, 192 days. Last year the season started March 28th and ended October 28th, 210 days. Eighteen days may not seem like much but in October it could mean the difference between playing in 50 degree weather and 40 degree weather. Another reason I picked 1984 is because it was the last time a World Series game started earlier than prime time in the eastern United States. In addition, no World Series has ended as early as October 14 since 1984; in fact no World Series game has been <i>played</i> earlier than October 15 since 1984. Format changes—the best-of-five League Championship Series becoming best-of-seven affairs, followed by the addition of wild-card teams and the best-of-five League Division Series—have made that impossible. That needs to change, when I was a kid baseball teams played multiple doubleheaders a season, not because of rain outs, but to keep the number of days in the season down. Nowadays that does not happen. Teams do not want to schedule twin-bills because it cuts into their revenues, they just don't make as much money if two games are played in one day as they would if they were on separate days. If we can convince the teams to have more doubleheaders we can reduce the number of days in the season, which will allow the post-season to start earlier and therefore end earlier. <br />
Second, along with increasing the number of doubleheaders I also believe the start time for most post-season games should be earlier. Since 1984 there has not been a post season game that has started before 8:00 PM Eastern time, with the average length of a World Series game in the last five seasons coming in at 3:30 that puts the end of the game around 11:30 PM much too late for children to stay up. Consequently there are whole generations of young people that have never seen a whole World Series game. That hurts the popularity of baseball in the long run, if kids don't grow up as a fan of baseball the league will lose then as fans as adults. I know that the sports landscape is crowded these days but if baseball wants to keep growing and maybe return to it's number one spot then they need to court the kids in America. <br />
Third, I don't understand Selig's decision to move the Houston Astros to the American League. Why move a team that has been in the National League since it's inception in 1962. There are no rivalries for Houston in the AL and with their poor play in recent years I see that fan base unwilling to pay Major League prices to see a game. One could say that there will be a rivalry with the Texas Rangers but that will take time to develop, especially with the Astros playing so badly. I think a better move would have been to move the Brewers back to the American League. The Brewers played in the AL from 1969 until Selig moved them to the NL in 1997. Sure, There was a team in Milwaukee that played in the NL from 1953 until 1965 but that is a totally different team known as the Braves that now plays in Atlanta and how many people that we around then were around in 1997? The reason the Brewers were moved in 1997 was the re-alignment to three divisions in each league and the addition of the Rays and Diamondbacks. The league wanted to put one new team in each league and that would have meant there were more teams in the American League then in the NL. The talk in baseball circles said that the team that moved would make a lot of money, and it seems pretty coincidental that it was Selig's old team that moved. With the move of the Astros to the AL there are now more teams in the AL then in the NL, so that reason to move the Brewers is now moot, but I guess they were able to postpone it for 16 years.<br />
Fourth, if I were Commissioner of Baseball would be the reduction or elimination of inter-league play. Inter-league play was introduced in 1997 to try to generate renewed fan interest after the player's strike in 1994. It was a success at first but the novelty has worn off, especially for the players who would rather go back to the traditional schedule. I think it waters down the World Series doubly so if the teams had met in the regular season. Half the fun of the World Series was the unfamiliarity of the two teams with each other and the way the other league plays. It was a great memory of mine to see an American League pitcher have to grab a bat in a high pressure situation in the World Series and try to get a hit. With inter-league play it still might be unlikely for a pitcher to get a hit but all the AL pitchers have done each season. Another cool thing about the World Series before the advent of inter-league play is the managerial choices that have to be made especially late in the game. Pinch hitting for the pitchers and double switches were not something managers had to worry about during the regular season but now with so many inter-league games they are much more familiar with it. I think it is a sad commentary on the state of baseball today that teams only play one series against some of the opponents in the other two divisions but make sure to have games against some team from the other league. <br />
Fifth, another issue I would address if the owners saw fit to hire me as Commissioner would be a harder stance on performance enhancing drugs. PED's are the biggest black mark on baseball since the gambling problems of the early 20th century. They take away the enjoyment fans have if their favorite player has a record year and puts every record set, under a cloud of suspicion. Currently, baseball has a graduated punishment policy regarding PED's. The first offense for a positive PED test is 50 games, the second 100 games and the third a lifetime ban for the player. I would take a two pronged approach, with much better education of the players as to what they can and can't take and an increased punishment plan. The Major Leagues can not expect the players, especially players from countries other then the United States, to understand that something they find at the grocery store could contain a banned substance. A good idea would be to have every player sign a list of all the banned substances stating they understand and will comply with the rules. After the education we need to give the players only two strikes, the first positive test is a 100 game ban and the second is a lifetime ban. There also can't be any differentiation between a rookie from the Dominican Republic and someone like Ryan Braun or Barry Bonds, a failed test is a failed test. If baseball bans a few star players then I think the message might sink in and we can clean up this great game.<br />
The final item I would change would be the elimination of the World Baseball Classic. I believe it is a total waste of time for most Major League players and it seems to matter only to the other countries that participate. It plays into my desire to shorten the season, if the WBC is eliminated spring training could be shortened but at the same time start later and the season could start at a more reasonable date. It was started in a response to the International The super-star American players don't care about the WBC and would rather not be forced to decide to play or not. American fans don't care and don't want any of there favorite players to play and risk an injury, in fact the US has never finished better than fourth. Sure, it might be good for growing the game overseas but that doesn't need to be MLB's focus right now, it should focus on fixing the game here at home.<br />
These are the items that I think are the most important to change right away to make baseball the game I remember as a kid. I know it will never be exactly the same but it can be much better then it is now. It might not ever regain it place as the most popular sport in American but it should be a strong second and it can be if these items are addressed.

<strong>Friday 7/19/13 Detroit-0 Kansas City-1</strong> <br />
The first game back for the Tigers after the All-Star break was quite a disappointment as the lost to the Royals 1-0 and only managed two hits in the game.

Phil Coke and Bruce Rondon finished the game going a combined two scoreless innings, giving up one hit and fanning two. Ervin Santana got the start and the win for the Royals, his sixth of the season. He went 7-1/3 shutout innings giving up two hits, one walk and six strikeouts. Kelvin Herrera threw 2/3 of an inning fanning one and Greg Holland recorded his 23<sup>rd</sup> save of the season with a perfect ninth. No one led the offense for Detroit with Torii Hunter and Andy Dirks getting the only hits of the contest. The Tigers got one walk to go along with their two hits and left two men on base. Alex Avila was charged with an error, his third of the season. <br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>Saturday 7/20/13 Detroit-5 Kansas City-6</strong><br />
The second game of the three game series was a little more lively but the result was the same; a one run loss by the Tigers. Justin Verlander got the start and the loss for Detroit going 5-2/3 innings while giving up six runs on eight hits, four walks and three strikeouts. Al Alburquerque and Drew Smyly finished the game going a combined 1-1/3 scoreless innings, giving up one hit and striking out three. Jeremy Guthrie got the start and the win for Kansas City, his ninth of the season going six innings while giving up five runs on ten hits, two walks and six strikeouts. Three relievers combined to go two scoreless innings while giving up two hits and one walk and Greg Holland got his 24<sup>th</sup> save of the season giving up one hit in the ninth. Alex Avila led the offense going 3-4 with a double and two RBI’s. Prince Fielder was 2-5 with one RBI, Victor Martinez was 3-5 with a double and an RBI and Torii Hunter had one RBI despite going 0-4.

<br />
<strong>Sunday 7/21/13 Detroit-4 Kansas City-1</strong><br />
In the third game of the series the Tigers were trying to avoid a series sweep at the hands of the Royals and sent Doug Fister to the mound to get a victory. The Royals countered with James Shields but it was Fister coming out on top of the 4-1 decision earning his eighth win of the season. Fister went six innings while giving up one run on six hits, one walk and five strikeouts. Drew Smyly and Bruce Rondon each threw a perfect inning with Smyly fanning two and Rondon, one and Joaquin Benoit earned his ninth save of the season giving up one hit in the ninth. Shields was saddled with his seventh loss of the season, going seven innings while giving up three runs on nine hits, and six strikeouts. Kelvin Herrera finished the game going two innings while giving up one run on two hits and three K’s. Bryan Pena, Miguel Cabrera and Andy Dirks led drove in all four Tigers runs with Pena going 0-2 with two sac flies, Cabrera going 1-4 with a solo homerun and Dirks going 2-4 with a solo homer.

Max Scherzer’s pursuit of a 14-0 record met a bump in the road Monday as the Tigers played the Indians at Progressive Field. Scherzer did not get a decision in the ten inning win for the Tigers. Scherzer went seven innings while giving up two runs on seven hits, three walks and seven strikeouts. Bruce Rondon took over for Scherzer and threw one scoreless inning giving up one hit. Drew Smyly got the win with one perfect inning, fanning one and Joaquin Benoit recorded his seventh save of the season with a ninth inning where he gave up two hits and fanned two. Scott Kazmir got the start for the Indians, going 5-2/3 innings while giving up two runs on four hits, three walks and five strikeouts. Four Cleveland relievers combined to go 3-1/3 scoreless innings while giving up two hits, one walk and two strikeouts. Matt Albers was saddled with the loss, his first of the season giving up two runs on one hit, two walks and one strikeout in one inning of work. Victor Martinez, Jhonny Peralta and Matt Tuiasosopo drove in all four Detroit runs, with Martinez going 2-4 with two double and two RBI’s, Peralta going 1-5 with a double and one RBI and Tuiasosopo going 1-2 with a solo homerun. Austin Jackson, Andy Dirks and Brayan Pena each had one hit in the game as the Tigers collected seven hits, six walks and left eight men on base. The no decision by Scherzer does not affect his perfect record status, as it only counts losses not consecutive starts. Scherzer was had 19 starts this season and struck out at least six batters in each game, a team record.<br />

After the disappointment of Scherzer’s first loss of the season the Tigers were trying to earn a series win against the Rangers.

Drew Smyly and Joaquin Benoit finished the game going a combined two scoreless innings while giving up one hit and fanning three.

With the 80th Major League Baseball All-Star Game coming up I've been thinking about the problems with the Midsummer Classic. It should be a game the fans of baseball look forward to, but it seems like it is something the fans don't care about. If they see it, then great, if they don't, that's fine too. Why should a game that bring together the best players in baseball be such a non-event? The only thing I can come up with is that are more than a few problems with the game and the selection of players.<br />
In 1933 Arch Ward the Sports editor of the Chicago Tribune wanted to hold an event to coincide with the 1933 Chicago's World Fair and convinced Commissioner of Baseball, Kenesaw Mountain Landis to assemble teams of the best players in each league to play a one-time game. Landis agreed and the managers of Yankees and A's were tabbed to pick the teams. 20 players out of the 36 on the rosters would be elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame. The game was so successful that Commissioner Landis decided to make it a annual game and the baseball fans reacted by coming to the game in droves<br />
In 1947 fans were giving the chance to vote for the eight position players that would start (the managers still picked the starting pitchers and the rest of the team). In 1957 fans of the Cincinnati Reds stuffed the ballot box and elected seven Reds as starters, after this incident the voting was taken away from the fans until 1970. Sometime in the 60's the distinction between outfield positions was removed, the thinking being if you have Clemente you can't have Aaron and so on. The players of the early era played hard and wanted to win the game. This could be summed up by the actions of Pete Rose in the 1970 All-Star Game. In the last play of the game Rose was trying to score and came barreling into home, knocking over the catcher Ray Fosse and separating his shoulder. It was those kinds of plays that made the All-Star game such a fan favorite. As the game of baseball became the business of baseball, players became less and less willing to play in another game in a long season and as player interest began to wane so did the fan's interest. Players started thinking of baseball as a business and of their bodies as an integral part of that business. It is also the reason players started moving from team to team following the money, because they realized they have a short window to earn the big money baseball provides. Players also realized that the three days off for the All-Star break is something they wouldn't get if their elected to the team.<br />
The Major Leagues tried to do things to increase fan interest. In 1985 baseball started the Homerun Derby to spark fan interest and it worked for a while but soon the players started declining the invitation because they would rather have the extra day off. Since 1999, the All-Star Futures Game has been held during All-Star Week. The two teams, one consisting of young players from the United States and the other consisting of young players from all other nations, are usually chosen based on prospect status in the minor leagues. Since 2001, the Taco Bell All-Star Legends and Celebrity Softball Game pits teams with a mixture of former stars from the host team's past, as well as celebrities from music, film, and television. This game is held the day before the Home Run Derby. Soon other things started to pop up to lower fan interest in the game. In 1998 MLB introduced Internet voting, allowing fans to vote up to twenty times from each e-mail address they have, this also led to "ballot box stuffing" and a further decline in fan interest. Another factor would be the lack of respect the press has for the All-Star game. The reason the press doesn't view the game as important is the selection process. The fact that fans vote for the starters and it turns out be be more of a popularity contest then a true vote on the best players of the year. If that process is changed the press might get behind the game and if they get behind it then fan interest might increased. The 2002 incident really put the game to shame, the 2002 All-Star Game, held in Milwaukee, ended in controversy when the teams ran out of substitute players and relief pitchers. At that point, Commissioner Bud Selig declared that the game would end after 11 innings, and it ended in a 7-7 tie. The crowd booed and threw beer bottles onto the field, and the media were highly critical of this unsatisfactory conclusion. This combined with the continued lack of interest from the players led to a all time low in fan interest.<br />
In an attempt to raise the stakes for the players and get them to play like the game meant something, Major League Baseball reached an agreement with the players union to award home-field advantage for the World Series to the league that won the All-Star Game. Is that something the public wants to come out of a expedition game? I understand the attempt made by baseball to generate player interest but now a whole new can of worms have been opened. Questions can be asked about the way managers, manage the teams. Have coaches made decisions that effect the outcome of the game? Let's take a hypothetical situation; Tigers manager Jim Leyland is coaching the American League team and the Tigers are already out of the playoff picture. Would Leyland, or any other manager, sabotage the game so their American League rivals do not get home field advantage in the World Series? Is the good feelings that come with your league winning the World Series more important then sticking it to your rivals? I would hope not but the enemy you know is worse then the enemy you don't.<br />
So what can be done to fix the situation? First, I think the fans have to except the fact that baseball is no longer a passion for the players but a business and they believe they need to take care of the tools they make their money with. No matter how much he would like baseball to return to the good old days, it never will, the money is too big and the players too focused on the business rather than the ball. If fans give up the longing for the old days and accept the game the way it is, as an exhibition game between some (but not necessarily all) of the best players in the Major Leagues, the better off everybody will be. We will never see a Pete Rose taking out a catcher, or players sliding hard into second to break up a doubleplay, nobody will get thrown at no matter how many homeruns are hit and players won't sacrifice their bodies to make a play. The players cannot be made to participate or play hard just because the fans want them to. Second, I think the managers need to pick the 32 players that will make up the team and then the fans can vote for the starters. That way the players that deserve to play in the game will and it won't just be a popularity contest or a case of fans remembering who had a good season last year. When players who have been on the disabled list all season are still elected to the All-Star team, how is the game to be taken seriously? Also baseball should do as much as possible to get the best players to play. If it means shortening the season and eliminating spring training games then this would not be such a bad thing. Thirdly, managers need to be told to manage the game like it matters and not just burn through their lineups, no one wants a repeat of the 2002 incident. I understand no manager wants his pitcher to throw too many pitches in a meaningless game but hat doesn't mean one inning and done. Three innings of work for a All-Star starter doesn't seem like too much, 50 or 60 pitches to a pitcher that will throw as many as 120 in a start can't can't be bad, especially with another day off after the game. The Homerun Derby should continue and efforts should be made to try to get as many of the top homerun hitters of the season to compete. All-Star Futures Game and the All-Star Legends and Celebrity Softball Game are good ideas and lend a feeling of celebration to the three day event.<br />
All in all, I enjoy the All-Star game as much as every other game in the Major League Baseball season but I think it needs to be overhauled or it could be eliminated. With all the controversies currently swirling around baseball, the All-Star Game could be something for fans to rally around but unless the issues facing the game are fixed it will continue to be more of a sideshow then a real part of a MLB season.

Here is that list:<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">First Team:</span></strong><br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>Goalie: Terry Sawchuk</strong>- The greatest goalie in team history, and maybe the greatest ever. Played for the Wings from 1949-1955, 1957-1964 and the 1968-69 season. Elected to the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1971. Stanley Cup championship (1952, 1954, 1955), Calder Memorial Trophy (1951), Vezina Trophy (1952, 1953, 1955), Lester Patrick Award (1971), First Team All-Star (1951-1953), Second Team All-Star (1954, 1955, 1959), Played in NHL All-Star Game (1950-1956, 1959, 1963, 1964, 1968). Holds the team records for games played, wins and shutouts. His number 1 sweater was retired by the Red Wings in 1994. The Red Wings signed him to a professional contract in 1947, and he quickly progressed through their developmental system, winning honors as the Rookie of the Year in both the U.S. and American Hockey Leagues. Sawchuk also filled in for seven games when the Detroit goalie Harry Lumley was injured in January 1950. Sawchuk showed such promise that the Red Wings traded Lumley to the Blackhawks, though he had just led the team to the 1949–1950 Stanley Cup. Nicknamed "Ukey" or "The Uke" by his teammates because of his Ukrainian ancestry. As the years progressed his personality seemed to change, becoming sullen and withdrawn. He became increasingly surly with reporters and fans, preferred doing crossword puzzles to giving interviews. Also contributing to his moodiness and self-doubt was the pressure of playing day in and day out despite repeated injuries — there were no backup goaltenders. He frequently played through pain, and during his career he had three operations on his right elbow, an appendectomy, countless cuts and bruises, a broken instep, a collapsed lung, ruptured discs in his back, and severed tendons in his hand. Years of crouching in the net caused Sawchuk to walk with a permanent stoop and resulted in lordosis (swayback), which prevented him from sleeping for more than two hours at a time. He also received approximately 400 stitches to his face (including three in his right eyeball) before finally adopting a protective facemask in 1962. In 1966, Life Magazine had a make-up artist apply stitches and scars to Sawchuk's face to demonstrate all of the injuries to his face over the years. The make-up artist did not have enough room for everything. <br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>Defenseman: Nicklas Lidstrom</strong>- By far the best defenseman the Wings have ever seen and arguably the best NHL defenseman ever. Played for the Red Wings from 1991 until 2012. Four-time Stanley Cup champion (1997, 1998, 2002, 2008), Conn Smythe Trophy winner (2002), seven-time Norris Trophy winner (2001, 2002, 2003, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2011), ten-time First Team All-Star (1998-2003, 2006-2008, 2011), two-time Second Team All-Star (2009, 2010), Played in twelve All-Star games (1996, 1998-2004, 2007-2009, 2011). Holds team records for goals, assists, points, +/- and powerplay goals for defensemen. Lidstrom is considered one of the top defenseman of his generation and a legend of the game, as indicated by his numerous Norris Trophies. He has been nominated for the award a total of twelve times and finished no worse than 6th place in Norris Trophy voting. With the exception of the lockout year, Lidstrom has been on a playoff team in every season since his rookie year of 1991–92, which adds up to an NHL record 20 consecutive playoff seasons (shared with Larry Robinson). On October 22, 2011, in a game against the Washington Capitals, he became the 14th player in the history of the NHL to play 1,500 games. He is the first player not born in North-America and the first player to accomplish this in only his 20th season. Lidstrom played in his 1,550th game on February 12, 2012 against the Philadelphia Flyers, surpassing Alex Delvecchio's previous Red Wings' record of 1,549 games. This also makes him the NHL player who has played the most games while always playing for the same NHL team (Gordie Howe played more games - 1,687 - with the Red Wings but also played for the Hartford Whalers in one season). In this regard, Lidstrom joins former Red Wings Alex Delvecchio and Steve Yzerman as the only 3 players with over 1,500 games having played exclusively for just one team throughout their careers. On June 3, 2012, Lidstrom and his wife took out a full-page ad giving thanks to the city of Detroit for making his family feel at home for the past 21 years. On July 8, 2012, Lidstrom was named a scout for the Detroit Red Wings. During the 2013-14 season, Lidstrom will have his number 5 retired by the Red Wings. It was originally going to be retired on February 5, 2013, but the lockout forced the ceremony to take place during the 2013-14 season, when he will be able to attend the ceremony. <br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>Defenseman: Red Kelly</strong>- The second best defenseman in Wings history, elected to the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1969. Four-time Stanley Cup champion (1950, 1952, 1954, 1955), Norris Trophy winner (1954), Lady Byng Trophy (1951, 1953, 1954), six-time First Team All-Star (1951-1955, 1957), two-time Second Team All-Star (1950, 1956). An exceptional player at both ends of the ice, Kelly was known not only for his great checking skills as a defenceman, but also for his exceptional puck-handling and passing skills as well. Kelly used all these elements to help the Red Wings move the puck down the ice very quickly. When injuries hampered the team, he sometimes played as a forward (a position he adapted to easily when needed). In over 12 years as a Red Wing the team won eight regular-season championships. He started his junior career playing for the St. Michael's Majors, he was encouraged to refine his style by his coach, former Leaf great Joe Primeau. Although the Majors were usually a talent pipeline for the Maple Leafs, the NHL club passed on Kelly after a scout predicted he would not last 20 games in the NHL, and the 19-year old joined the Detroit Red Wings in 1947. In 1954 he was runner-up for the Hart Trophy. <br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>Left Wing:- Ted Lindsay</strong>-Known around the NHL as "Scarface" and "Terrible Ted", Lidsay was a fixture at left wing for Detroit from 1944 until 1957 and again in 1964. He amassed 335 goals, 393 assists and 728 points in 862 games as a Wing. He was elected to the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1966, he won four Stanley Cups (1950, 52, 54, 55) and won the Art Ross Trophy in 1950. He was a First Team All-Star eight times, a Second Team All-Star once and played in eleven All-Star games. His number 7 was retired by Detroit in 1991. Playing left wing with center Sid Abel and right winger Gordie Howe, on what the media and fans dubbed the "Production Line," Lindsay became one of the NHL's premier players. Although small in stature compared to most players in the league, he was a fierce competitor. His rough play caused the NHL to develop penalties for 'elbowing' and 'kneeing' to discourage hitting between players using the elbows and knees. He appeared with Howe on the cover of a March 1957 Sports Illustrated issue. Lindsay was the first player to lift the Cup and skate around the rink with it, starting a great tradition. During a 2013 signing in the Greater Vancouver area, Lindsay is quoted as telling a fan that he didn't mean to start a tradition, that he only wanted to bring the cup to the rinks edge where the fans could see it. He did not lift the cup above his head at that moment, as was adopted in subsequent years. At a time when teams literally owned their players for their entire careers, the players began demanding such basics as a minimum salary and a properly funded pension plan. While team owners were getting rich with sold out arenas game after game, players were earning a pittance and many needed summer jobs to make a living. Almost all of these men had no more than a high school education and had been playing hockey as a profession all their working life. Superstars in the 1950s earned less than $25,000 a year and when their playing days were over, they had nothing to fall back on and had to accept whatever work they could get in order to survive. Lindsay and star defenceman Doug Harvey of the Montreal Canadiens led a small group in an effort to organize the first National Hockey League Players' Association. In secret, all of the players at the time were contacted and asked for their support to form an "association", not a "union", which was considered going too far. Support was nearly unanimous. Lindsay, one of the league's top players, was first stripped of his captaincy, then was traded to the struggling Chicago Blackhawks. Jack Adams then planted rumours about Lindsay and false defamatory comments by him against his old team in the press, and showed a fake contract to the press, showing an inflated annual salary. The ruse worked and the Red Wings players rejected the union. Harvey suffered a similar fate, being traded from Montreal to the New York Rangers. <br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>Center:- Steve Yzerman</strong>- Known as the "Captain" and Stevie Y. Ater Gordie Howe the best forward in Detroit history. Elected to the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2009, won four Stanley Cups (1997, 98, 02, 08), Conn Smythe Trophy winner (1997), Selke Trophy winner (2000), Lindsay Trophy winner (1989), Masterton Trophy winner(2003), Patrick Trophy winner (2006), Ten-time All-Star (1984, 1988-93, 97, 99, 00). In 1984 he was the first 18 year old ever named to the All-Star team. Longest serving Captain for one team in NHL history, first in team history in assists, second in goals and points and fourth in games played. Eighth in NHL history in goals, seventh in assists and sixth in points. His number 19 was retired by the Red Wings in January 2007. One-time First Team All-Star (2000). The 1983 NHL Entry Draft was the first for Mike and Marian Ilitch, who had purchased the Detroit Red Wings in the summer of 1982. Jim Devellano, the Red Wings' then-general manager, wanted to draft Pat LaFontaine, who had grown up outside Detroit and played his junior hockey in the area; however, when the New York Islanders took LaFontaine third overall, Devellano settled on Yzerman, drafting him fourth. The Red Wings were prepared to send Yzerman back to Peterborough for one more year, but "after one (training camp) season, you knew he was a tremendous hockey player," said Ken Holland, the current Red Wings general manager who was a minor league goaltender for the Wings during Yzerman's rookie training camp. Yzerman tallied 39 goals and 87 points in his rookie season, and finished second in Calder Memorial Trophy voting. During the 1988–89 season Yzerman recorded 155 points (65 goals/90 assists), a total that only Wayne Gretzky and Mario Lemieux have surpassed. Yzerman finished third in regular season scoring behind Lemieux and Gretzky, won the Lester B. Pearson Award and was a finalist for the Hart Trophy. When Scotty Bowman took over as coach in 1993, Yzerman initially chafed under Bowman's stern coaching style. Bowman, for his part, felt that Yzerman was not concentrating enough on defence; Bowman had long expected his forwards to be good back-checkers as well. Relations between the two became so strained that at one point, the Red Wings seriously considered trading him to the then-moribund Ottawa Senators. However, Yzerman gradually became a better defender, and is now considered one of the best two-way forwards in the history of the game. In 1997, Yzerman put to rest all doubts of his ability to lead a team to a championship as Detroit won its first Stanley Cup in 42 years by sweeping the Philadelphia Flyers. The following year Detroit repeated the feat, sweeping the Washington Capitals and winning their second consecutive Stanley Cup title. Yzerman earned the Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP. He handed the Cup first to the wheelchair-bound Vladimir Konstantinov, who had been severely injured in a car accident just six days after the Cup victory in 1997. <br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>Right Wing: Gordie Howe</strong>-Mr. Hockey is the greatest Red Wing of all-time and is arguably the best NHL player ever. Played for the Red Wings from 1947 to 1971, elected to the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1972, his number 9 sweater was retired by Detroit in March 1972. Four-time Stanley Cup champion (1950, 52, 54, 55), six-time Art Ross Trophy winner (1951-1954, 57, 63), six-time Hart Trophy winner (1952, 53, 57, 58, 60, 63), Lester Patrick Trophy winner (1967). 23-time NHL All-Star, twelve-time First Team All-Star, nine-time Second Team All-Star. Howe made his NHL debut in 1946 at the age of 18, playing right wing for the Detroit Red Wings, for which he wore #17 as a rookie. When Roy Conacher moved on to the Chicago Black Hawks after the 1946–47 season, however, Howe was offered Conacher's #9, which he would wear for the rest of his career (although he had not requested the change, Howe accepted it when he was informed that "9" would entitle him to a lower Pullman berth on road trips). He quickly established himself as a great goal scorer and a gifted playmaker with a willingness to fight. In fact, Howe fought so often in his rookie season that coach Jack Adams told him, "I know you can fight. Now can you show me you can play hockey?" The term Gordie Howe hat trick (consisting of a goal, an assist, and a fight) was coined in reference to his penchant for fighting. It should be noted, however, that Howe himself only recorded two Gordie Howe hat tricks in his career, on October 10, 1953, and March 21, 1954. Using his great physical strength, he was able to dominate the opposition in a career that spanned five decades. In a feat unsurpassed by any hockey player, he finished in the top five in scoring for twenty straight seasons. Howe also scored 20 or more goals in 22 consecutive seasons between 1949 and 1971, an NHL record. Howe led Detroit to four Stanley Cups and to first place in regular season play for seven consecutive years (1948–49 to 1955–56), a feat never equaled in NHL history. During this time Howe and his linemates, Sid Abel and Ted Lindsay, were known collectively as "The Production Line", both for their scoring and as an allusion to Detroit auto factories. The trio dominated the league in such a fashion that in 1949–50, they finished one-two-three in league scoring. Howe had been in his prime during a defensive era, the 1940s and 1950s, when scoring was difficult and checking was tight. As Howe emerged as one of the game's superstars, he was frequently compared to the Montreal Canadiens' Maurice "Rocket" Richard. Both were right wingers who wore the same sweater number (9), were frequently contenders for the league scoring title, and could also play rough if needed. During their first encounter in the Montreal Forum, when Howe was a rookie, he knocked Richard out cold with a punch after being shoved. The Red Wings and Canadiens faced off in four Stanley Cup finals during the 1950s. When Richard retired in 1960, he paid tribute to Howe, saying "Gordie could do everything." At the time of his retirement, Howe's professional totals, including playoffs, for the NHL and WHA combined, were first. He finished with 2,421 games played, 1,071 goals, 1,518 assists, and 2,589 points. Wayne Gretzky has since passed him in goals (1,072), assists (2,297), and points (3,369), but not games played (1,767) or games played with one team (1,687). It is unlikely that anyone will surpass Howe's total professional games played. Mark Messier retired only 11 NHL games behind Howe at 1,756 (and counting minor league action and playoffs, 2,048 total professional games), but this is over five seasons away from 2,478 total professional games (including minor league action), almost a thousand games ahead of the active career leader at the end of 2012 (Roman Hamrlik). <br />

<br />
<strong>Coach: Jack Adams</strong>- The winningest coach in team history with 413 wins, 390 loses and 161 ties, Most of those wins came without a contract; when James Norris bought the team he'd torn up Adams' contract and given him a year on his job on probation and a handshake. As it turned out, one year became 15 years. Seven-time Stanley Cup champion (1936, 37, 43, 50, 52, 54, 55), elected to the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1959. Two-time First Team All-Star coach (1937, 43), Second Team All-Star coach (1945). At first, the team struggled under his leadership, making the playoffs only two times in his first five years at the helm. A name change to the Detroit Falcons in 1930 did not improve the team's performance. Detroit's fortunes changed in 1932, when Norris bought the Falcons and renamed them the Detroit Red Wings. Norris gave the Red Wings the financing they needed to become an NHL power. By 1947, Adams had built a farm team system which trained Alex Delvecchio, Terry Sawchuk, Ted Lindsay, Red Kelly, Sid Abel, and most notably Gordie Howe. It was this core group of players which led the Red Wings to seven straight regular season first-place finishes from 1948 to 1955, along with four more Cups—making Adams the only man to have his name on the Stanley Cup as a player, coach and general manager. Adams was known for being wary of letting his teams get complacent, and was not shy about orchestrating blockbuster trades to keep them on their toes—a philosophy which won him the nickname "Trader Jack." His implulse was slightly restrained after Norris died in 1952 and was succeeded by his daughter, Marguerite Norris. She and Adams never got along very well. While she could have summarily fired Adams since he was still without a contract, she did not do so. In 1957, Adams traded Ted Lindsay to Chicago because of union-organizing efforts and other players affiliated with the effort being sent to the minors. As part of the union busting efforts, Adams spread fake rumours attributing Lindsay as criticizing his former team-mates. Adams also showed a fake contract to Detroit reporters, claiming Lindsay was being paid $25,000 per year, when he was being paid $13,000. The efforts resulted in most of the core of this team leaving town and eventually led to Adams being fired in 1963. His 36-year tenure as general manager is the longest in NHL history. He served 31 of those years on a handshake; after 1932 he never signed a contract with the Wings. Adams had also been involved in an incident in 1942, when he had an outburst due to his belief of biased penalty calling, which led to a fit of rage and ultimately a referee getting punched in game three of the 1942 Stanley Cup Final, becoming the first coach to be suspended in a Final. In 1963, Adams became founding president of the Central Hockey League, a post he held until his death at his desk in 1968. <br />

<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">Second Team:</span></strong><br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>Goalie: Chris Osgood</strong>- I know this could be a controversial choice based on the love/hate relationship Wings fans have had with Osgood but numbers don't lie. Played for the Wings from 1993-2001 and 2005 to 2011. 317 wins, 149 loses, 46 ties, 29 overtime loses, 2.49 goals against average and a .905 save percentage in 565 games. Three-time Stanley Cup champion (1997, 98, 08), Two-time Jennings Trophy winner (1996, shared with Mike Vernon, 2008, shared with Dominik Hasek), Second Team All-Star (1996), Three-time NHL All-Star (1996, 97, 08), First goaltender since Terry Sawchuk to win Stanley Cups ten years or more apart as a starter (Sawchuk in 1955 and 1967), tenth all-time in NHL history for career wins, seventh in GAA. Osgood became the fourth goaltender to man the crease for Detroit that season alongside Tim Cheveldae, Vincent Riendeau, and Peter Ing. Cheveldae, the team's primary starter and a former All-Star, along with Dallas Drake, was traded to the Winnipeg Jets in exchange for veteran goaltender Bob Essensa and defenceman Sergei Bautin. Essensa did not have a strong showing in a 13-game stint at the end of the regular season, and Osgood was named the primary goaltender for the playoffs. The heavily favored Red Wings were defeated in seven games by the San Jose Sharks. The most memorable scene of the series occurred in the deciding game. With the game tied 3–3 late in the third period, Osgood went to clear a puck around the boards, but it landed on Sharks forward Jamie Baker’s stick who then scored the winning goal. Overtaken by remorse at his untimely mistake, the young goaltender wept at his stall following the game. Following the season, Detroit management felt that the team needed a strong veteran goaltender with Stanley Cup playoff experience. In the summer of 1994, the Red Wings traded defenceman Steve Chiasson to the Calgary Flames for goaltender Mike Vernon, who had previously helped the Flames to the Stanley Cup title in 1989. In 1997, Osgood and Vernon shared starting goaltender duties in the regular season, but when the playoffs started, virtually all the playing time went to Vernon, who ended up winning the Conn Smythe Trophy. In the end, Osgood had his name engraved on the Stanley Cup as the Red Wings swept the Philadelphia Flyers in four games to win their first Stanley Cup in 42 years. After the Cup win in 1997, Vernon was traded to the San Jose Sharks, which made Osgood Detroit's number-one goaltender. Again, the Red Wings were able to advance to the Stanley Cup finals and defeated the Washington Capitals in another four game sweep to win back-to-back Stanley Cup championships. On April 1, 1998, he was in a goalie fight with Colorado Avalanche goalie Patrick Roy. Roy had a fight with Vernon the previous year on March 26, 1997. Osgood remained the primary goaltender for Detroit until the summer of 2001, working alongside Ken Wregget, and Manny Legacé before being put on waivers and picked up by the New York Islanders. On August 8, 2005, Detroit brought Osgood back with a two-year, $800,000 USD contract. After Hasek performed poorly in Games 3 and 4 of their 2008 first round series with the Nashville Predators, Red Wings coach Mike Babcock decided to pull him in favor of Osgood midway through Game 4 and named him the starter for game 5 of the series. With Osgood in goal, the Red Wings won their next nine playoff games in a row, defeating the Predators and sweeping the Colorado Avalanche as well as dealing the Dallas Stars a three-game deficit. Though the Stars battled back, winning their next two games, Osgood shone in game 6, stopping all but one shot in a game riddled with Red Wings penalties, sending them to the Stanley Cup Finals to meet the Pittsburgh Penguins. In games one and two of the Stanley Cup finals, Osgood had back-to-back shutouts, making him the fourth goalie in NHL history to start the Finals with back-to-back shutouts. Between the two games, he made a total of 41 saves. His save as time expired in Game Six sealed the Stanley Cup win for the Red Wings and for Osgood, who won his second championship as a starting goaltender. <br />

<strong>Defenseman: Black Jack Stewart</strong>- Played for the Red Wings from 1938 to 1950. Inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1964. Two-time Stanley Cup champion (1943, 50), three-time First Team All-Star (1943, 48, 49), two-time Second Team All-Star (1946, 47). 30 goal, 79 assists, 109 points, 704 penalty minutes in 502 games. During his career, Stewart was regarded as one of the hardest bodycheckers in the National Hockey League. He also carried the heaviest stick in the league, explaining that "I don't use it for scoring. I use it for breaking arms". Stewart was known for his large grin when hitting opponents; teammate Ted Lindsay noted "when he had that smile, it was time for the opposition to look out". He led the league with 73 penalty minutes in 1945–46, and in the late 1940s, his rivalry with Milt Schmidt of the Boston Bruins was so intense that their physical interactions occasionally overshadowed the games themselves. Stewart hated his nickname of "Black Jack", believing it implied he was a dirty player. Hockey Hall of Fame defenceman King Clancy agreed he was not a dirty, but stated he was the "roughest son of a gun you'd ever want to meet." His style of play resulted in numerous injuries; Stewart had dozens of scars and required over 200 stitches to close various cuts during his career. One year saw him play the entire season with a broken hand. Stewart showed good judgment as a defenceman, rarely taking himself out of position to throw a hit. His coach in Detroit, Jack Adams, called Stewart "one of the best blueliners in the game", and claimed he was the best defenceman in Red Wings history. He was regarded as a good skater, able to clear the puck out of his zone and who rarely turned it over to the other team. A solid work ethic and excellent stamina were also major features of the rugged defender's game. He was a wiry 185 pounds but extremely powerful. Stewart spent his younger days and off-seasons as a pro on the family wheat farm in Pilot Mound, Manitoba. During World War II, he spent a year with the Montreal RCAF and afterward with the Winnipeg detachment. After the war he returned to Detroit and was teamed successfully with Bill Quackenbush on defense. As a unit the two made life difficult for the opposition, but in different ways. Stewart used brute force and strength to nullify opposing forwards while his partner used positioning and subtle clutching and grabbing to defend the goal. <br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>Defenseman: Marcel Pronovost</strong>- Inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1978. Four-time Stanley Cup champion (1950, 52, 53, 54), two-time First Team All-Star (1960, 61), two-time Second Team All-Star (1958, 59). Marcel was one of the best defensive defenceman of his era. He was an important member of the 1950s Red Wings winning four Stanley Cups in 1950, 1952, 1954 and 1955, known for having a a very good hip check. A player like Pronovost, who delivered hits and took even more on his rushes, could expect to receive a daunting array of injuries. In one three-game stretch with the Red Wings, his face was struck by seemingly every conceivable hard surface in a rink - the puck, when his own goalie attempted to clear it; an opponent's stick, though not on purpose; and, on a memorable dive through two defenders, the ice, the net and then the boards. He had four long cuts requiring stitches and a broken nose from the week's work. He estimated at the end of his career that he had broken his nose 14 times, and the list of his many aches and pains reads like a medical exam for trauma care. <br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>Left Wing: Syd Howe</strong>- Played for the Red Wings from 1934 to 1946. Inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame (1969), Three-time Stanley Cup champion (1936, 37, 43). The St. Louis Eagles sold Howe in February 1935 to the Detroit Red Wings, where his career could finally get on track. Howe was on the ice in the Montreal Forum at 2:25 a.m. on March 25, 1936, when Mud Bruneteau scored in the sixth overtime period to give Detroit the win in game one of the best-of-five semi-final against the Maroons, the longest game in league history. Detroit went on to win the series and the Stanley Cup that spring and followed up with another Cup victory in 1937. On March 19, 1940, Howe scored 25 seconds into overtime to give the Wings a 2–1 victory over the New York Americans in game one of the quarter-finals. It was Howe's most cherished moment of his career and would stand as the fastest overtime goal scored in NHL history for the next 29 years. He also set the modern-day NHL record by scoring six goals in a game on February 3, 1944, versus the New York Rangers, a record which has since been twice equaled but never bettered in over fifty years of play. In his NHL career, he scored 237 goals and 291 assists for 528 points in 691 games. In the playoffs, he totaled 17 goals and 27 assists for 44 points in 70 games. He won the Stanley Cup with Detroit in 1936, 1937 and 1943. In 1934–35, he was runner-up to Charlie Conacher for the scoring title with 47 points in 50 games despite playing much of the season with the last-place St. Louis Eagles. In 1943–44, he racked up 32 goals and 60 points in just 46 games, however, league-wide scoring was inflated due to World War II. In a February 3, 1944 game against the New York Rangers, Howe scored six goals in a single game, a total that has been surpassed only once when Joe Malone scored seven. Howe was an all-around player, shifting between left wing and centre as needed, killing penalties and dropping back to play defence in a pinch. Those who watched the team closely reported that Howe's ice time with Detroit would constitute an amazing total. Although not related, right wing Gordie Howe joined the Red Wings the following season (1946–47) and remained with the club until 1971 thus giving the Wings a star forward named Howe on its roster for 37 consecutive seasons (1934–71). <br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>Center: Sid Abel</strong>- Played for the Wings from 1939 to 1952. Inducted inot the Hockey Hall of Fame (1969). Numer 7 sweater retired by Detroit in 1995. Three-time Stanley Cup champion (1943, 50, 52), Hart Trophy winner (1949), two-time First Team All-Star (1949, 50), two-time Second Team All-Star (1942, 51). Along the way, Abel picked up the nickname "Boot Nose" after he taunted Maurice Richard and paid for his insult with a punch that broke his nose. Abel topped the 60-point mark for the second time in his career in 1950-51. "Old Bootnose", as he was known, was the third member of the Red Wings' celebrated "Production line" along with Hockey Hall of Fame teammates Gordie Howe and Ted Lindsay. Abel was traded from the Red Wings to the Black Hawks in 1952–53, and served as a player-coach for the next two seasons. He returned to the Red Wings in 1957–58 and served as Detroit's coach through the 1969–70 season. <br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>Right Wing:Mickey Redmond</strong>- Played for the Wings from 1970-1976, First Team All-Star (1973), Second Team All-Star (1974), became the first Red Wing to score 50 goals in a season (1973). A fan favorite, Redmond was looked at as a slacker by team management, until it was discovered that he had a degenerative disc problem. In the 1974–1975 season Redmond sustained a back injury and played only 29 games. His back woes continued the following year; after 37 games he retired early at the age of 28. After his playing career ended, Redmond became a popular color analyst on television. His television stops include CBC's Hockey Night in Canada, ESPN National Hockey Night, NHL on Fox and for most of his broadcasting career, local television coverage of the Red Wings with play-by-play announcers Dave Strader and (currently) Ken Daniels. His catchphrases include "Holy Jumpin!" and many more, referred to by fans as "Mickeyisms". In one memorable string Mickey used the following to describe a scramble in the crease- "Ten hungry lumberjacks, one pork chop left on the plate, and who should come up with it but Brett Hull!" <br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>Coach: Scotty Bowman</strong>- Coached the Red Wings from 1993 to 2002, second in team history in wins (410), coach the team to three Stanley Cup championships (1997,98, 02). In 1993–94, Bowman became coach of the Red Wings, and led them to a first-place finish in the Western Conference, but his Red Wings were ousted in the first round by the young San Jose Sharks. According to an apocryphal story, Bowman had difficulty in the maze-like tunnels of the San Jose Arena, eventually having to be rescued after getting lost and twice locking himself into rooms. In 1995, the Red Wings made it to the Stanley Cup Finals but were swept by the New Jersey Devils in four straight. This was the Red Wings' first appearance in the finals in 29 years. In the 1995–96 regular season, he won a record 62 games. However, they lost to the Colorado Avalanche in the Western Conference Finals. In the 1997 playoffs, Bowman led the team to its first Stanley Cup in 42 years by sweeping the Philadelphia Flyers 4–0. The Red Wings repeated the feat the following season by sweeping the Washington Capitals. In 1999 and 2000, they lost to the Colorado Avalanche in the Western Semi-Finals, and in 2001 they were eliminated by the Los Angeles Kings in the first round. Bowman decided in February 2002 that he would retire at the end of the season and he went out as a winner as his Red Wings won the Stanley Cup by defeating the Carolina Hurricanes 4 games to 1. During the presentation of the Cup on the ice, Bowman put on an old pair of skates so he could take a lap with the Cup. He then publicly announced his retirement from coaching. He is second on the Red Wings' all-time wins list behind only Jack Adams. <br />

In the second game of this series the Tigers put Anibal Sanchez, in his first game after coming off the DL, on the mound and the Indians countered with Carlos Carrasco. Sanchex looked really good in his first appearance since getting hurt on June16th, he went five innings while giving up one run on three hits, one walk and four strikeouts, earning his seventh win of the season. Phil Coke gave up one run on two hits and one K in 2/3 of an inning of work. Luke Putkonen walked two batters in 1/3 of an inning before yielding to Drew Smyly in the eighth. Smyly gave up one hit and struck out one to end the eighth. In the ninth inning Darin Downs took the mound and gave up two runs on two hits and one K. He was placed on the 15-day disabled list after the game with left shoulder tendinitis. Torii Hunter, Miguel Cabrera and Prince Fielder led the offense, with Hunter going 3-5 with a double, a triple, a homerun and three RBI's. Cabrera was 1-4 with a homerun and two RBI's and Fielder was 1-5 with a solo homerun. Cabrera's and Fielder's homeruns were back to back, the first time they have done that this season. Austin Jackson was 2-3 with a double and one RBI and Jhonny Peralta was 2-5 with one RBI. Andy Dirks had two hits, while Victor Martinez and Alex Avila each had one hit in the game. Miguel Cabrera had an error, his tenth of the season and the Tigers collected thirteen hits, five walks and left nine men on base. This win put the Tigers up by 3-1/2 games over the Indians.<span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span><span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"></span><br />

Just to make it a little easier for me I picked a first and second All-Tiger squads. Here is that list:<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">First Team</span>:</strong><br />
<br />
<strong>First Base: Hank Greenberg</strong>- Greenberg is an easy choice at first, he is a Hall of Famer with a career batting average of .313, 331 homeruns and 1276 RBI's. He. played for the Tigers from 1933-1941 and again in 1945-46. Greenberg was one of the premier power hitters of his generation. He hit 58 home runs in 1938, equaling Jimmie Foxx's 1932 mark for the most home runs in one season by any player between 1927 and 1961. He was AL MVP in 1935 and 1940 a five time All-Star (1937-1940, 45) and a two time World Series Champion (1935, 1945). He was the heart and soul of those World Series teams and his numbers would be much higher without losing three years to World War II. Greenberg was the first Jewish superstar in all of American professional sports. He attracted national attention in 1934 when he refused to play on Yom Kippur, the holiest of Jewish holidays, even though the Tigers were in the middle of a pennant race and he never claimed to be a religiously observant, practicing Jew.<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>Second Base: Charlie Gehringer</strong>- Another easy choice. Played for the Tigers from 1924-1942. Widely regarded as one of the best second basemen of all time, Gehringer was also one of the best-fielding second basemen in history, having led all American League second basemen in fielding percentage and assists seven times. His 7,068 assists is the second highest total in major league history for a second baseman. He also collected 5,369 putouts as a second basemen (the 6th highest total for a second baseman) and 1,444 double plays (the 7th highest total for a second baseman). Known for his consistency as a hitter and fielder, Gehringer was given the nickname "The Mechanical Man" by Yankee pitcher Lefty Gomez. Teammate Doc Cramer quipped: "You wind him up Opening Day and forget him.". A durable player, Gehringer had two consecutive game streaks of more than 500 games—one from 1927 to 1931 and the other from 1931 to 1935 Elected to the Hall of Fame (1949) with a batting average of .320, 184 homeruns, 2839 hits and 1427 RBI's. 1937 AL MVP, 1937 batting title 1935 World Series Champion and six-time All-Star (1933-1938)<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>Third Base: Miguel Cabrera</strong>- This will be a controversial choice, George Kell is the Tigers Hall of Fame third baseman but I think Cabrera has better numbers. Kell's numbers, batting average .305, homeruns 78 hits, 2054, 870 RBI's, AL batting title (1949), ten-time All-Star (1947-1957). However Cabrera's numbers are better or will be. Cabrera is hitting .320 with 340 homeruns, 1898 hits, 1194 RBI's, AL Triple Crown (2012), AL MVP (2012), two-time homeun title (2008, 2012), two-time RBI champion (2010, 2012), two-time AL batting title (2011, 2012) and seven-time All-Star (2004-2007, 2010-2012). If he continues on his current pace for eight years he will be 3rd all-time in hits with 3448, 7th all-time in homeruns with 624, 3rd all-time with 2177 RBI's and a batting average of .322 far exceeding Kell's numbers. Of course Kell was a much better defensive third baseman but Cabrera's large lead in offensive numbers gives him the nod.<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>Shortstop: Alan Trammell</strong>- I think this is a pretty safe bet for the all-time shortstop. Trammell has a batting average of .285, 185 homeruns, 2365 hits, 1003 RBI's, four-time Gold Glove winner (1980, 81, 83, 84) World Series Champion (1984), six-time All-Star (1980, 84, 85, 87, 88, 90), AL Comeback Player of the Year (1983) and World Series MVP (1984). Trammell, along with his Tiger teammates, enjoyed a championship-winning season in 1984 when they started the season 35–5 and won the World Series. Despite a season-long battle with tendinitis in his shoulder which caused him to miss 23 regular season games, he finished fifth in AL batting race with .314. ALCS against the Royals, Trammell hit .364 with one home run and three RBI. Finally, in the World Series, he was 9-for-20 against the Padres, including a pair of two-run home runs that accounted for all of Tigers' runs in a Game 4 victory. Detroit won the series 4–1. In 1985 after two consecutive years of batting not lower than .314, Trammell was hampered by injuries and posted only a .258 batting average. He underwent postseason surgery on left knee and right shoulder. The following season, playing without any injuries, Trammell became only the second player in Detroit history to hit 20 home runs and steal 20 bases (Kirk Gibson and Curtis Granderson have since joined the club). Trammell also set a career-high with 75 RBI.<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>Catcher: Mickey Cochrane</strong>- Also known as Black Mickey because of his foul moods. Elected to the Hall of Fame (1947) Cochrane has career numbers of: batting average .320, homeruns 119, 832 RBI's, two-time AL MVP (1928, 34), three-time World Series Champion (1929, 30, 35) and two All-Star (1934, 35). His .419 on base percentage is the best among catchers, he was the first catcher to score 100 runs and get 100 RBI's and hit for the cycle twice (July 22nd 1932, August 2nd 1933. Cochrane's playing career came to a sudden end on May 25, 1937 when he was hit in the head by a pitch by Yankees pitcher Bump Hadley. Hospitalized for seven days, the injury nearly killed him. His accident generated a call for protective helmets for batters, but tradition won out at that time. Ordered by doctors not to play baseball again (he was just 34 years old), he returned to the dugout to continue managing the Tigers but had lost his competitive fire. He managed for the remainder of the 1937 season, but was replaced midway through the 1938 season. His all-time managerial record was 348-250, for a .582 winning percentage<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>Left Fielder: Harry Heilmann</strong>- Not a pick the casual fan would think of but another Hall of Famer. Batting average .342 12th highest career average, 183 homeruns, 2660 hits, 1539 RBI's, four-time AL batting champion (1921, 23, 25, 27). For the decade of the 1920's Heilmann averaged 220 hits, 110 runs, 45 doubles, 12 triples, 16 homeruns and 130 RBI's no one averaged a better decade. In 1918, with the United States entered World War I, Heilmann joined the U.S. Navy and served on a submarine causing him to miss half of the 1918 season. When a reporter reminded him that he had won batting titles every other year from 1921 to 1927, Heilmann replied: (Tiger owner) "Mr. [Frank] Navin gives me contracts on a two-year basis. I always bear down real hard when a new contract is coming up. Though primarily a line-drive hitter, Heilmann could also hit for power. He was among the AL leaders in homeruns 11 times. On July 8, 1921, Heilmann hit a home run in Detroit reported by the New York Tribune at a gargantuan 610 feet – one of the longest ever recorded.<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>Center Fielder: Ty Cobb</strong>- Duh, easy choice, the greatest Tiger ever. Career number that make everybody else look like minor leaguers. Highest batting average (.366), 117 homeruns, second in hits (4191), 1938 RBI's. most steals of home (54), twelve-time AL batting champion (1907, 08, 09, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15,17, 18, 19), second in runs scored (2245), hit over .400 three times and hit under .320 only once in his career. Cobb's legacy as an athlete has sometimes been overshadowed by his surly temperament and aggressive playing style, which was described by the Detroit Free Press as "daring to the point of dementia." Cobb himself wrote shortly before his death, "In legend I am a sadistic, slashing, swashbuckling despot who waged war in the guise of sport." Cobb was notorious for sliding into bases feet first, with his spikes high. In October 1918, Cobb enlisted in the Chemical Corps branch of the Army and was sent to the Allied Expeditionary Forces headquarters in Chaumont, France. He served approximately 67 days overseas before receiving an Honorable Discharge and returning to the United States. He was given the rank of captain underneath the command of Major Branch Rickey, the president of the St. Louis Cardinals. Other baseball players serving in this unit included Captain Christy Mathewson and Lieutenant George Sisler. All of these men were assigned to the Gas and Flame Division, where they trained soldiers in preparation for chemical attacks by exposing them to gas chambers in a controlled environment, which was eventually responsible for Mathewson's contracting tuberculosis which led to his premature death on the eve of the 1924 World Series.<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>Right Fielder: Al Kaline</strong>- Another easy choice, my favorite player. Hall of Famer, hit .297 with 399 homeruns, 3007 hits, 1583 RBI's, World Series Champion (1968), 1955 batting title, ten-time Gold Glove winner (1957-1959, 1961-1967), 18-time All-Star [1955-1967 (two games in 59, 60 & 61), 1971, 74]. <br />
Kaline bypassed the minor league system and joined the team directly from high school as an 18-year-old "bonus baby" signee, receiving $35,000 ($300,330 as of 2013), to sign with the Tigers. He made his major league debut on June 25, 1952 in Philadelphia as a late-inning replacement for outfielder Jim Delsing. Kaline wore No. 25 during his rookie campaign, but asked teammate Pat Mullin for his No. 6 after the 1953 season ended. Kaline, who was also known simply as "Six" in the Tiger clubhouse, wore the number for the rest of his major league playing career.<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>Right Handed Pitcher (1): Hal Newhouser</strong>- Prince Hal would be my first choice for a right handed starter he was 207-150 with a 3.06 ERA and 1796 strikeouts. He was a two-time AL MVP (1944-45), only pitcher to win back to back MVP awards, World Series Champion (1945), won pitching Triple Crown (1945), four time AL wins leader (1944-46, 48), two-time AL strikeout leader (1944-45), two-time ERA leader (1945-46), seven-time All-Star (1942-1948). As World War II got under way, the Tigers moved up in the standings because several of their top players, including Newhouser, were classified as 4-F (ineligible to be drafted). Newhouser was 4-F due to a leaky heart valve; he attempted to join the service anyway but was turned down several times. He blossomed all at once in 1944, becoming a dominant pitcher in wartime baseball. That season, Newhouser rang up a 29–9 record, leading the league in wins and strikeouts (187). His 2.22 ERA was second in the league, as were his 25 complete games and six shutouts. The Tigers jumped into contention, finishing second in the American League, with Newhouser named MVP. Newhouser won the first Sporting News Pitcher of the Year Award in 1944. In 1945, he repeated as MVP. This time, he won the pitcher's Triple Crown, leading the AL in wins (25, against nine losses), ERA (1.81) and strikeouts (212). He also led the league in innings pitched, games started, complete games and shutouts. Newhouser pitched four innings of relief on the season's final day as Detroit rallied for the pennant. He then won two games in the World Series to help his team to the World Championship, including the deciding seventh game. Newhouser won the second Pitcher of the Year Award in 1945. He is currently the youngest player to win the award two consecutive years at the age of 24. Newhouser was the Sporting News Player of the Year. In 1946, he went 26–9 with a 1.94 ERA, again leading the league in wins and ERA. His 275 strikeouts was second in the league. Newhouser was runner-up in the MVP race to Ted Williams. Newhouser continued to rate among the game's best pitchers for the next five years. He won 17 games in 1947, led the AL with 21 wins in 1948 and rang up an 18–11 mark in 1949. <br />
<br />
<strong>Right Handed Pitcher (2): Justin Verlander</strong>- JV would have to be my other choice fora right handed starter. Yes, his career isn't over but I think his body of work so far is enough to include him on this list. He is currently 132-70 with a 3.43 ERA and 1564 strikeouts. He was Rookie of the Year (2006), Cy Young Award winner (2011), AL MVP (2011), AL Pitching Triple Crown (2011), two-time MLB wins leader (2009, 11), three-time AL strikeout leader (2009, 11, 12), five-time All-Star (2007, 2009-2012), two-time TSN pitcher of the year (2011-12), threw two no-hitters (2007, 2011).<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>Left Handed Pitcher (1): Mickey Lolich</strong>- Mickey would have to be the consensus pick for #1 left handed pitcher. He was 217-191 with a 3.44 ERA and 2832 strikeouts which is 2nd most for a AL left hander. He was a World Series champion and World Series MVP (1968), three-time All-Star (1969, 71, 72), leads the Tigers in shutouts (39), 3rd on the team in wins (207). Lolich was consistency itself, winning 14 or more games for ten consecutive seasons climaxing in 1971, when he led the American League with 25 victories (which no subsequent Tiger pitcher has done) and 22 in 1972. He struck out a career-high 308 in 1972, helping the Tigers to the AL East championship that season (before bowing to the eventual world champion Oakland A's three games to two) as runner-up for the Cy Young Award. The 308 strikeouts is still the Tigers record for a single season. He also struck out 200 or more seven times in his career, and ranks third among left-handers (behind Steve Carlton and Randy Johnson) in career strikeouts with 2,832. In 1968 Detroit became only the third team in World Series history to rally from a 3-1 deficit to win in seven games. Lolich became the 12th pitcher to win three games in a World Series, and the last with three complete games in a single Series. He was the last pitcher with three wins in the same Series before Randy Johnson in 2001.<br />
<br />
<strong>Left Handed Pitcher (2): Ed Killian</strong>- I had to look long and hard for a second left handed pitcher to put up along with Lolich and I finally found Ed Killian. Killian was a pitcher for the Tigers from 1904 to 1910 and ended his career with a record of 102-78 an ERA of 2.38 (24th best in MLB history) and 516 strikeouts. In his career he surrendered only nine homeruns, including a stretch of 1001 innings, over five seasons, without one. In 1904, Killian had 32 complete games and a 2.44 ERA in 331 innings, but without support from the 7th place Tigers, Killian had the dubious distinction of losing 20 games in his first full season. As proof that his 1904 win-loss record was not indicative of his talents, Killian battled Cy Young in one of the most remarkable pitching duels in history on May 11, 1904. Young and Killian each pitched 14 scoreless innings, before the Red Sox scored a run in the 15th inning, winning 1–0. In 1907 the Tigers were locked in a battle with the Philadelphia A's and Killian won both games of a double header to win the pennant. He pitched in both the 1907 and 1908 World Series. <sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-Ed_Killian_.7C_BaseballLibrary.com_3-0" jquery18305120407128820619="20"><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ed_Killian#cite_note-Ed_Killian_.7C_BaseballLibrary.com-3"><span></span></a></sup><br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>Relief Pitcher (1): Willie Hernandez-</strong> As far as I'm concerned the best reliever in Tigers history. He pitched for the Tigers from 1984 to 1989. He was 70-63 with an ERA of 3.38, 788 strikeouts and 147 saves. AL MVP (1984), AL Cy Young Award (1984), World Series champion (1984), three-time All-Star (1984-86). Hernandez was a key pitcher on the 1984 World Series Championship team. He had a 9–3 record, 32 saves and a 1.92 ERA in 140 innings pitched, while recording 112 strikeouts. In the entire season, Hernandez gave up only six homeruns, 30 runs, 36 walks and 96 hits. His 32 saves came in 33 opportunities.<br />
<br />
<strong>Relief Pitcher (2): John Hiller-</strong> In my opinion the second best reliever in Tigers history and oddly enough both are left handed. Played for the Tigers from 1965 to 1980, except for 1971 when he was recovering from a heart attack. He was 87-76 with a 2.83 ERA, 1036 strikeouts and 125 saves. He was a World Series champion in 1968 and an All-Star in 1974 as well as the AL Comeback Player of the Year in 1973. He recorded 39 saves in 1973 a MLB record for ten years and a team record until 2000.<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>Manager: Sparky Anderson</strong>- Sparky is the best manager in Tiger history. He was the skipper from 1979 to 1995. In 1984 he led the Tigers to their first World Series title since 1968. In his first ten years with the team they had a winning record every year. Two-time Manager of the Year Award (1984, 87). Leads the Tigers in managerial wins (1331). First manager to win 600 games in both leagues. During his managerial career, Anderson was known to heap lavish praise on his ballplayers when talking to the media. He declared Kirk Gibson "the next Mickey Mantle," which he later acknowledged may have put too much pressure on Gibson early in his career. He said Mike Laga, who played for him in 1984, would "make us forget every power hitter who ever lived." He also said Johnny Bench (who played for him in Cincinnati) "will never throw a baseball as hard as Mike Heath" (a catcher who played for him in Detroit).<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">Second Team</span>:</strong><br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>First Base: Norm Cash</strong>- Stormin' Norman has to be the second best first baseman in Tigers history. He anchored the middle of the Tigers lineup for 15 years after being traded first from the White Sox to the Indians for Minnie Minoso and then to the Tigers for Steve Demeter. He hit .271 with 377 homeruns, 1820 hits and 1103 RBI's. Five-time All-Star (1961 (two games), 66, 71, 72), World Series champion (1968), AL batting champion (1961) and two-time AL Comeback Player of the Year (1965, 71)<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>Second Base: Lou Whitaker</strong>- Sweet Lou is the consensus pick of the second best second baseman in Tigers history. He hit .276 with 244 homeruns, 2369 hits and 1084 RBI's. Rookie of the Year (1978), World Series champion (1984), three-time Gold Glove Award winner (1983-1985), five-time All-Star (1983-1987). Four-time Silver Slugger Award winner (1983-1985, 87). One of the best doubleplay combos, along with Alan Trammell. Holds Tigers record for most doubleplays (1527), second in Tigers history in walks (1197) and second in franchise history in assists (6653). In 1985 he was part of an infield where all four players hit at least 20 homeruns.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>Shortstop: Bill Rogell</strong>- Rogell was the Tigers shortstop from 1930 until 1939. He led the AL in fielding percentage for shortstops (1935-1937) and World Series champion (1935). He hit .267 with 1375 hits and 609 RBI's. Holds the record for walks in consecutive plate appearances (7). He anchored the left side of the infield for the pennant winning 1934 and 1935 Tigers. In the 1934 World Series against the St. Louis Cardinals, with Cards ace Dizzy Dean acting as a pinch runner Rogell hit him square in the forehead with a throw to first attempting a doubleplay. After the incident Rogell said "If I knew Dean's head was there I would have thrown the ball harder".<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>Third Base: George Kell</strong>- Even though Kell is a Hall of Famer Cabrera got the nod for best third baseman but Kell is definitely number two. Kell hit .305 with 78 homeruns, 2054 hits and 870 RBI's. He won the AL batting title (1949) and was a ten-time All-Star (1947-1957).<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>Catcher: Bill Freehan</strong>- The starting catcher for the 1968 World Championship Detroit Tigers. Ht .262 with 200 homeruns, 758 RBI's and 1591 hits. Caught more games (1774) then any other Tiger catcher. Sixth all-time in MLB history in hit by pitch (114)<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>Left Fielder: Willy Horton</strong>- Left Fielder for the 1968 team, hit .273 for his career with 325 homeruns and 1163 RBI's and 1993 hits. Four-time All-Star (1965, 68, 70, 73).<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>Center Fielder: Jim Northrup</strong>- I'm putting Northrup in as a center fielder because I needed to have Sam Crawford in right and because Northrup played center during the 1968 fall classic<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>Right Fielder: Sam Crawford</strong>- Crawford was the second best hitter on the Tigers from 1905 until 1917. Hall of Famer, holds the MLB record for triples (309). Led the AL in homeruns (1908-7), runs (1907-102), doubles (1909-35), triples (1910, 1913-1915) and RBI's (1910, 14-15). Crawford had a love/hate relationship with Ty Cobb as Cobb became the biggest star in baseball Crawford resented the preferential treatment given Cobb and the two hardly spoke, even though the played next to each other in the outfield and Crawford followed him in the batting order.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>Right Handed Pitcher (1): Denny McLain</strong>- The star pitcher of the 1968 season, McLain hold the team record for single season wins with 31. He was 131-91 with a 3.39 ERA and 1282 strikeouts. He's reputation suffers because of his off-field exploits and poor World Series performance but is still one of the best pitchers in team history.<br />
<br />
<strong>Right Handed Pitcher (2): Jack Morris</strong>- The star pitcher of the 1984 World Series winning team. five-time All-Star (1981, 84, 85, 87), AL wins leader (1981), AL strikeouts leader (1983), AL shutout leader (1986), Led the Tigers in wins (1997-88, 90), had the most wins of the '80's (162). He is 254-186 with a 3.90 ERA and 2478 strikeouts.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>Left Handed Pitcher (1): Earl Whitehill</strong>- I had to dip even further to find the two second team left handed pitchers. I managed to come up with Whitehill and Leonard. Whitehill pitched for the Tigers from 1923 until 1932. Averaged 14 wins a season 218-185 with a 4.36 ERA and 1350 strikeouts. Has the highest ERA of any pitcher with at least 200 wins.<br />
<br />
<strong>Left Handed Pitcher (2): Dutch Leonard</strong>- Was a pitcher for the Tigers from 1919-1921 and 1924-1925. 139-113 with a 2.76 ERA and 1160 strikeouts. Leonard was suspended by the American League for signing with a team in the San Joaquin Valley League after a salary dispute with Tigers owner Frank Navin. After returning to the Tigers after his suspension he feuded with Tigers manager Ty Cobb over everything from curfew to how to pitch Tris Speaker and George Sisler. He might not have been the best pitcher the Tigers had but it seems he sure made life interesting.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>Relief Pitcher (1): Todd Jones</strong>- Rolaids Relief Man of the Year (2000). The Tigers leader in games saved with 206 he had a 3.97 ERA and 868 strikeouts. Always made life interesting at the end of games as is the norm in recent years for Tigers closers. Threw the last pitch in Tigers Stadium<br />
<br />
<strong>Relief Pitcher (2): Aurelio Lopez</strong>- Lopez along with Willie Hernandez were the shut 'em down relievers of the 1984 Tigers. He was 62-36 with a 3.56 ERA, 635 strikeouts and 93 saves. In 1984 he was 10-1 with 14 save and an ERA of 2.94. He was a combined 2-0 in the 1984 ALCS and World Series and did not give up a run in six innings of work. <br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>Manager: Hughie Jennings</strong>- Hall of Fame (1945). Managed the Tigers from 1907 until 1920, led the Tigers to the pennant in 1907-1909, is second in win as a Tigers manager (1131). Jennings was a vary colorful character in the dugout. During his years as Detroit’s manager, Jennings became famous for his antics, mostly in the third base coaching box, which variously included shouts of “<b>Ee-Yah</b>,” and other whoops, whistles, horns, gyrations, jigs, and grass-plucking. The "Ee-Yah" whoop became his trademark and was accompanied with waves of both arms over his head and a sharp raising of his right knee. In 1907, he was suspended for taunting opponents with a tin whistle. The "Ee-Yah" shouts continued and became such a trademark that Jennings became known as Hughie "Ee-Yah" Jennings, and Detroit fans would shout "Ee-Yah" when Jennings would appear on the field. He once told Ty Cobb There isn’t anything about baseball I can teach you. Anything I might say to you would merely hinder you in your development. The only thing for you to do is go ahead and do as you please. Use your own judgment.. . . . . Do what you think is best and I’ll back you up.<br />

In 2012 Miguel Cabrera won the Triple Crown with 44 homeruns, 139 RBI's and a batting average of .330 he was the first Triple Crown winner since Carl Yastzemski did it in 1967. This season Cabrera is leading the AL with a average of .352 and 69 RBI's and he is fourth in homeruns with 18, five behind Baltimore's Chris Davis. If Cabrera can manage to win a second Triple Crown, would that rank him as one of the best hitters of all time? I believe it will.<br />
In the history of Major League baseball there have been 17 Triple Crowns won and only two players have ever won two, Rodgers Hornsby in 1922 and 1925 and Ted Williams in 1942 and 1947. If Cabrera can keep hitting, driving in runs and hope Davis falls of his homerun pace, he could win his second crown in a row. Would that feat cement his status as one of the top hitters of all time? How could it not? In my opinion that list would be; Ty Cobb, Babe Ruth, Hank Aaron, Ted Williams, Rogers Hornsby, Tris Speaker, Stan Musial, Pete Rose, Lou Gehrig and Willie Mays. At only 30 years old Cabrera still has as many as eight years left in baseball and if he can maintain his current pace he will have stats that will put him among the all-time greats. <br />
Cabrera's stats to this point in his career break down like this: 1895 hits, 339 homeruns and 1192 RBI's in 1579 games, it averages out to be 1.2 hits per game, .025 homeruns per game and .75 RBI's per game. If he plays those eight season he should get 1555 hits, 285 homeruns and 985 RBI's. That would give him 3448 hits, 3rd all-time, 624 homeruns, 7th all-time, 2177 RBI's, 3rd all-time and should give him an average of .322, 35th all-time. Three top tens and a top 40 in the four biggest offensive categories in baseball, those are what I would consider all-time great stats. Only eight players are top ten in at least two of those four categories and only three of those players are top ten in three. Ty Cobb is 2nd in hits, 7th in RBI's and 1st in average. Hank Aaron is 3rd in hits, 2nd in homeruns and 1st in RBI's. Babe Ruth is 3rd in homeruns, 2nd in RBI's and 8th in average. the other five players are: Barry Bonds who is 1st in homeruns and 3rd in RBI's, Tris Speaker is 5th in hits and 4th in average, Stan Musial is 4th in hits and 5th in RBI's, Willie Mays is 4th in homeruns and tenth in RBI's and Alex Rodriguez is currently 5th in homeruns and 6th in RBI's. That is pretty rare company and I think will assure Cabrera is considered one of baseball's greatest hitters.<br />
Players and coaches in the league now are already talking about how good Cabrera is. When he is intentionally walked so a pitcher can face Prince Fielder, who is 7th in RBI's this year, what does that say about how managers feel about letting Cabrera hit in RBI situations? When managers are putting a guy on to face another player who has a 50 homerun season to his credit that shows how good the rest of baseball thinks Cabrera is. Since 2008 only Ichiro, with 1119 has had more hits then Cabrera with 960. No one has hit as many homeruns as Cabrera's 183 or as many RBI's as Cabrera's 600.<br />
I don't know any other ways to say that Cabrera is the game's best hitter right now and I believe when it is all said and done, one of the best ever.

Click on this link to read the story. <a href="http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1655745-updating-each-mlb-teams-biggest-trade-asset-heading-into-june">http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1655745-updating-each-mlb-teams-biggest-trade-asset-heading-into-june</a> Jason said Detroit's best trade bait is Toledo Mud Hens outfielder Nick Castellanos and the best way for him to help the Tigers would be to bring a impact corner outfielder to Detroit in a trade. Mr. Martinez must be talking about replacing Andy Dirks, because he can't be talking about Torii Hunter. Hunter is hitting .312 with 15 doubles, two homeruns and 23 RBI's, not numbers you need to replace. Dirks, on the other hand is hitting .247 with four doubles, five homers and 16 RBI's, still, not horrible numbers but apparently something the Tigers need to replace in his opinion. In their last ten games Hunter is hitting even better; .325 with three doubles, a homerun, two RBI's, four walks and nine strikeouts. Dirks is hitting .214 with 1 double, one RBI, one walk and nine strikeouts. So again it must be Dirks that we are talking about trading. The question then becomes, who should the Tigers try to get in return? The outfielders listed in Jason's article were Corey Hart with Milwaukee, Josh Willingham with the Twins and Michael Morse with Seattle. <br />
Corey Hart, 31, has not played this season after off season knee surgery. His 2012 stats were .270 with 35 doubles, 30 homeruns, 83 RBI's 44 walks and 151 strikeouts. However, who knows what type of player he'll be when he returns. The Brewers think he will be ready to start a rehab assignment in the next week or two but they are not positive. The Tigers do not need to trade for a player who will be coming off an injury and therefore an unknown quantity. One need look no further than Victor Martinez to see the impact a knee injury can have on a player and Detroit doesn't need that headache. In addition Hart is making ten million dollars this season and will be a free agent when the season is over. I don't think the Tigers need to trade a good minor league prospect for an injured player that will most likely be a partial season rental player. <br />
Willingham is hitting .211 with ten doubles, ten homeruns, 29 RBI's, 33 walks and 57 strikeouts. In his last ten he is .210 with one double, two homeruns, six RBI's, six walks and eleven strikeouts. Willingham is 34 years old and I wonder if his age will start to catch up to him as this season wears on, although he could be another version of former teammate, Hunter. a .211 average is nothing to write home about in fact it is even less then Dirks and I'm sure Dirks is a better defensive outfielder then Willingham. Willingham is making seven million dollars this season and is scheduled to make another seven million next year before becoming a free agent after the 2014 season. So if the Tigers did acquire him in a trade, which I think is unlikely because the Twins wouldn't trade to a team in their own division, at least it wouldn't be a half season rental. <br />
Morse, who is also 31, is hitting .254 with four doubles, eleven homeruns, 21 RBI's, 15 walks and 46 strikeouts. In his last ten games he is .228 with one homerun, four RBI's, four walks and seven strikeouts. He is making 6.75 million dollars this year and will be a free agent after the season, again another case of a rental player, this one a little cheaper then Willingham but not by much. He has the best average and the most homeruns of the three players this year. The Mariners are already 11-1/2 games back in the American League and aren't likely to make a run at the playoffs so come July they are going to be unloading contracts and looking for cheap, young players to fill the holes. This is just the scenario the Tigers are looking for. While I don't think that Morse is the best solution to this problem, in fact I'm not entirely sure there is a problem, he might fill a spot on the Tigers roster in their run to the post season.<br />
Are there any other areas the Tigers might need to shore up at the trade deadline? I think the obvious choice is the closer spot. There have been thousands of words written about Jose Valverde and his troubles last year, including a post in this blog and the Tigers signed him anyway. Valverde has blown two save already this season, both in the last two weeks, and it might be time to end this experiment. If the Tigers do decide to get rid of Valverde then who becomes the closer? The obvious choice would be Bruce Rondon, currently the closer in Toledo. He started the season in Detroit but after a few bad outings was sent back to the Mud Hens. Since returning to AAA Rondon is 1-1 with a 0.84 ERA. He has ten saves and has giving up nine hits, eleven walks and 26 strikeouts in 21-1/3 innings. Good stats but still a few too many walks. He has made significant progress for someone with little AAA and Major League experience. If Leyland and Dombrowski decide to go a different direction then where would they go? Joaquin Benoit would be a good choice he is 1-0 with two saves, a 1.88 ERA, 16 hits, eight walks and 29 strikeouts in 24 innings of work but it appears Tiger fans are stuck with Valverde for now. Dombrowski and Leyland have tabbed Rondon as the closer of the future and we just have to live with Valverde's ups and downs until Rondon is ready for the big time.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02222285630170549901noreply@blogger.com0Traverse City, MI 49685, USA44.7138218 -85.70511160000000944.5332428 -86.0278351 44.8944008 -85.382388100000014tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9194596820825609385.post-7167662822131792332013-05-31T11:38:00.001-04:002013-05-31T11:54:03.927-04:00Detroit Red Wings vs Chicago Blackhawks Series Recap<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; vertical-align: middle;">

The Detroit Red Wings are having an off year and Johan Franzen is no exception, although his point totals are comparable to past seasons the timeliness of his goals just doesn't seem to be there. He is a defensive liability and is only good for one thing. It just might be time to say goodbye to the Mule and move on. He will be 34 in December and has played for the Wings since 2005. He has scored 164 goals, 142 assists for 306 points in 513 games. He is +99, has 329 penalty minutes, scored 58 powerplay goals and 37 game winning goals. It isn't his regular season production I'm worried about it is his performance in the playoffs.<br />
In the playoffs he has scored 42 goals, 37 assists for 79 points, 14 powerplay goals and 12 game winners. Franzen has amassed 76 PIM and is +29 in 100 playoff games. In the 2008 and 2009 playoffs he was unstoppable, scoring 25 of his 42 goals in those years. Recently he has become human and the aura surrounding him has disappeared. So far in the 2013 playoffs he has four goals, two assists for six points. He is -6, has six PIM, scored three powerplay goals and no game winners. In the 2010 playoffs he played the same number of games scored 2 more goals, ten more assists, he was +8 with 16 PIM, one powerplay goal and one game winner. In past years if the Wings needed a goal to tie it up late in a game or another goal to pad a lead Franzen was the man but the last three years he has scored a total of seven goals compared to 31 in the three years before that. <br />
Franzen just isn't the same player he was in 2009-10, the fear he used to instill in opposing goalies is gone and defenseman seem to be able to push him around unlike previous years. In past seasons whenever he got the puck Detroit fans would expect him to score, especially if it was the playoffs. Now, their happy if he doesn't turn it over in their zone. The Mule has always been a one trick pony, he scores goals, has never been great defensively but now he is a liability. I'm sure he thinks he has some good years left but I wonder if those years should be with us. Unfortunately for the Wings they signed Franzen to a long term deal in 2009. That deal make him a Red Wing until 2020 when he will be 41. He made $5.2 million this year and is scheduled to make 5 million the next three seasons before it drops to 3.5 million in 2016-17, 2 million in 17-18 and 1 million the last two years of the contract. I think Detroit will be hard pressed to find a team to take on a contract that size, especially for a one dimensional player with a declining impact.<br />
This year has shown the Wings have a strong cadre of young players in the minors ready, or nearly so, to step up to the big club. Tomas Tatar, for one, is ready to join the big club. He scored 23 goals and 49 points in 61 games with the Griffins this season. He played 18 games with the Wings this year and scored four goals and three assists. Tatar has been one of the last cuts in training camp the last three years and looks more then ready to make the jump, the only thing standing in his way is the lack of roster spots. If Franzen is moved then the Wings would have room for a player of the future.<br />
Don't get me wrong, I love Franzen and harbor him no ill will. In 2009-10 he was one of my favorite players but if this year has shown us anything it is the NHL is a league for the young and Franzen isn't young any more. I believe our fond feelings and memories of the Mule are clouding our judgement and not allowing us to see that Franzen's time has passed and that the Wings and Franzen would be better served to move on.

Earlier this year I wrote a post saying I thought the signing of Torii Hunter was a big mistake, Mr. Hunter has proven me wrong and I owe him a apology. Torii Hunter, I'm sorry I doubted you and your abilities, you have proven yourself worthy of wearing the Old English D and I hope this season is a big success for you and the Tigers.<br />
In that post I said that Hunter's stats weren't that much better then Brennan Boesch's and since Boesch is much younger I thought it would be more prudent to sign the younger player rather then risk signing the older one and finding out his best years are behind him and being stuck with a big contract. So far this season Hunter is hitting .310 with 12 doubles, one triple, one homerun and 21 RBI's. He is slugging .409 with 8 walks and 29 strikeouts. His lack of walks and the large amount of strikeouts were also reasons I gave to oppose the signing but his production has outweighed those concerns. Hunter is sixth on the Tigers in batting average, tied for first in doubles, third in RBI's and fifth in slugging percentage, pretty good for a guy who will be 38 in July and is playing for his third team. I knew his defense would be better but I had no idea his offensive contributions would be this big. Sure he won't hit as many homeruns as he has in the past but with Detroit that is not his job. In a spring training interview he said that the key to hitting second is moving the lead off guy up and trying to get on base for the big guns behind him. He said that not having to provide all the production will make his life easier and reduce stress for him. <br />
Brennan Boesch on the other hand has been optioned to AAA Scranton/Wilkes-Barre after hitting .209 with one double, one triple, two homeruns and five RBI's. He was slugging .419 with two walks and six strikeouts in 43 at bats for the Yankees. This, for a team with twelve men on the DL. Obviously the Yankees didn't think too highly of Boesch's work and his biggest knock while with the Tigers, his lack of hitting, is still an issue. So it seems that the Tigers made the right choice in letting Boesch go. <br />
Apparently I'm still in Randy Smith (Detroit GM from 1996-2002) mode and assume that every trade or signing the Tigers make will fail. I have to remember that Smith is long gone and Dave Dombrowski is a much better GM. The trades to pick up Miguel Cabrera, Doug Fister and Austin Jackson and the signing of Hunter and Prince Fielder prove this. No the Tigers just have to find the missing piece and finally win that elusive World Series Championship, the first since 1984.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02222285630170549901noreply@blogger.com0Traverse City, MI 49685, USA44.7138218 -85.70511160000000944.5332428 -86.0278351 44.8944008 -85.382388100000014tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9194596820825609385.post-88268341581591687512013-05-19T23:01:00.000-04:002013-05-19T23:01:19.280-04:00Detroit Red Wings vs. Chicago Blackhawks games 1 and 2 Recaps<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; vertical-align: middle;">

For the last seven years, every fifth day, Detroit Tigers fans knew, no matter how bad the team was playing they had a chance to win, because Tigers Ace Justin Verlander was on the mound. This year seems to be different Verlander is 4-4 with a 3.17 ERA. In his last outing, Thursday 5/16 against the Texas Rangers, he lasted only 2-2/3 innings while giving up eight runs on six hits and two walks. This is the shortest outing and the most runs he has surrendered this season. In fact in his other eight starts he has given up only 13 runs over 51-1/3 innings of work. <br />
Where is the Verlander who went 24-5 and won both the Cy Young Award and the American League MVP in 2011? As with every player in every sport, Verlander is human and has had ups and downs in his career. In 2008, as the Tigers went 74-88, Verlander was 11-17 with a 4.84 ERA. The next season he was 19-9 with a 3.45 ERA, so all is not lost, besides in 2008 he didn't have any help on the pitching staff, the other starters were Armando Galarraga, Nate Robertson, Kenny Rogers and other starters like Jeremy Bonderman and Dontrelle Willis, not the best of company if you're having a down year. This season the starting rotation is much better with Doug Fister, Max Scherzer, Rick Porcello and Anibal Sanchez so they should be able to pick up Verlander if his season doesn't improve. Even with all his struggles this season Verlander is still 6th in strikeouts, 14th in wins, 15th in innings pitched, 21st in ERA and 31st in WHIP. I think most pitchers in the league would be happy to have those stats. <br />
After the game on Thursday Verlander was asked why he had such problems this year, he said the control on his fastball is not up to par. He's not saying he is walking a lot of batters because he only has 20, which is only 2.2 per start, but he is referring to the fact that he isn't able to locate his fastball where he wants to, meaning it is getting hit more often. There has also been talk this year about the loss of velocity with his fastball. In past seasons Verlander has reached 100+ MPH routinely and late in games he is averaging 97 to 99. This year he has only touched 100 a few times and is averaging 93-95, this doesn't seem like a big change but it takes him from one of the fastest fastballs to a high average pitch. One of Verlander's big weapons, besides his pitches themselves, is the intimidation factor, if hitters realize his fastball is slower then normal, they will dig in more and won't worry about that 100+ MPH fastball coming across the plate. Consequently he has given up more hits and more runs. <br />
In resent interviews both manager Jim Leyland and pitching coach Jeff Jones have said they are not worried about Verlander's struggles, they are confident that his performance will improve and are assuring fans to relax and not panic. If they aren't worried why should we be, of course would they say if they were worried? I doubt it, so it is something to watch. If the past is anything to judge the future by, Verlander will be fine and the Tigers will make another deep run in the playoffs.

Chicago finished 21 points ahead of Detroit in the Central Division, they scored 155 goals and gave up 102 compared to Detroit's 124 scored and 115 given up. In the regular season Chicago had nine players with 20 points or more including leading scorers Patrick Kane and Jonathon Toews, with Kane compiling 55 points including 23 goals and Toews getting 23 goals and 48 points. Detroit had five players with 20 or more points, with Pavel Datsyuk leading the charge with 15 goals and 49 points and Henrik Zetterberg with eleven goals and 48 points. Corey Crawford will be the Blackhawks goalie, he was 19-5-5 with a 1.94 GAA and a .926 save percentage and three shutouts. Jimmy Howard will be in net for the Wings, he was 21-13-7 with a 2.13 GAA and a .923 save percentage and five shutouts. Chicago's powerplay operated at a 16.74% good for 19th in the NHL. Detroit was 15th with a 18.4%. Chicago was 4th with five shorthanded goals while Detroit was 13th with three. I f the Wings can contain Toews and Kane, keep secondary scoring down and make life hard for Crawford then they can steal a couple game and maybe even send Chicago home.<br />
Well, once again I am lagging behind and Game One was already happened. The Blackhawks beat the Wings 4-1 to take a one game to none lead in the best of seven series. The first period saw The Hawks score first on a goal by Marian Hossa, his fourth of the playoffs, assisted by Jonathon Toews and Patrick Sharp. The lead only lasted 1:54 before Detroit tied the score on a goal by Damien Brunner, his third of the post season, assisted by Gustav Nyquist and Jonathon Ericsson. The period ended with the score tied, the Wings outshot Chicago 7-6 while Chicago was 1 for 1 while the Wings were 0-2. The second period was scoreless withe the Blackhawks pouring 17 shots on Jimmy Howard while Detroit was able to send only five pucks at the Chicago net. Chicago was 0-2 while the Wings were 0-1. The period saw the Hawks take advantage of every Detroit turnover and only Jimmy Howard was keeping them in the game.<br />
The third period was the undoing for the Wings in this contest. The Hawks broke the tie at the 8:02 mark of the period on a goal by Johnny Oduya, his second the the playoffs, assisted by the two Patricks, Kane and Sharp. The Hawks added another goal 3:21 later when Marcus Kruger scored, his second of the playoffs, assisted by Daniel Carcillo and Nick Leddy. As time wound down the Wings pulled Jimmy Howard for the extra attacker and Chicago made them pay,with Patrick Sharp scoring his sixth goal of the post season, assisted by Niklas Hjalmarsson. The Hawks outshot the Wings 19-9 for the period and 42-21 for the game, while neither team had a powerplay in the period.<br />
If the Wings have any hope in extending this series beyond four games then they need to accomplish a few things: First they need to quit turning the puck over, this has led to way too many scoring chances and they can't expect Howard to stop every one. Second, they need to do a better job of getting to loose pucks and winning the battles in the corners. Lastly they need to keep the Blackhawks off Jimmy Howard, they are getting too many clear scoring chances, they also need to stop trying for the perfect goal and just get rubber on net. Just as Howard can't stop them all neither can Crawford, the more pucks they get on net the more goals they'll score, If they don't do these things the Wings will be golfing soon. Game Two is Saturday 5/18 in Chicago. Game Three is Monday 5/20 and Game Four is Thursday 5/23 both in Detroit.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02222285630170549901noreply@blogger.com0Traverse City, MI 49685, USA44.7138218 -85.70511160000000944.5332428 -86.0278351 44.8944008 -85.382388100000014tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9194596820825609385.post-19602178247338494792013-05-13T22:28:00.000-04:002013-05-13T22:28:34.907-04:00Detroit Red Wings vs Anaheim Ducks Game 7 Recap<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; vertical-align: middle;">

The Ducks had the lead 3-2 and were looking to close out the series Friday. Three periods were not enough to settle the contest for the third game in a row and the fourth game out of the six so far. Detroit blew a two goal lead late but pulled it out in overtime 4-3 to force a Game 7, 10:00(EDT) Sunday in Anaheim. Given the tenor of this series it would be no surprise if Game 7 goes into overtime as well.<br />
The first period saw the Ducks carrying the play in Detroit's end but Detroit scored first, on a goal by Pavel Datsyuk, his second of the playoffs, assisted by Henrik Zetterberg and Jonathan Ericsson. There was only one penalty in the period, a tripping call to Ryan Getzlaf, but Detroit was unable to capitalize on the man advantage. Detroit outshot the Ducks 11-7 in the period.<br />
The second period saw the Ducks tie the game at 11:31 on a goal by Kyle Palmieri, his third of the post season, assisted by Emerson Etem. The Ducks outshot the Wings for the period 14-6 for a two period total of 21 for the Ducks and 17 for Detroit. There were no penalties in the period. <br />
The third period saw a lot of action with each team scoring twice. Detroit scored the first two goals. The first, a powerplay goal, after Kyle Palmieri was called for hi-sticking, scored by Henrik Zetterberg assisted by Mikael Samuelsson and Pavel Datsyuk at 6:19. Daniel Cleary scored his second of the playoffs at 11:30, assisted by Justin Abdelkader and Valtteri Filppula. Filppula figured prominently in the first Ducks goal of the period, when he was going behind the Detroit net and thinking he had a trailer dropped the puck. He did have a trailer, unfortunately it was Emerson Etem who slid the puck past Jimmy Howard for his second of the post season at 16:32. 51 seconds later it was Bobby Ryan scoring his second, assisted by Corey Perry and Francois Beauchemin to tie the game. The period ended with the Ducks outshooting the Wings 16-9 for a three period total of 37-26. This would be the third overtime game in a row but it didn't last long. Henrik Zetterberg was the hero scoring his second of the game assisted by Niklas Kronwall and Pavel Datsyuk 1:04 into the extra frame.<br />
This win for the Wings sets up the most dramatic thing in sports: a Game 7. This will take place Sunday 5/11 at 10:00(EDT) at the Honda Center in Anaheim. If that game goes into overtime it will set a NHL record for overtime games in a single series. If the Red Wings can upset the Ducks in Game 7 then they will earn the right to advance to the second round and face the first seed Chicago Blackhawks and the Vancouver Canucks will play the San Jose Sharks. If the Ducks emerge victorious then they will face the Canucks and Chicago will play the Sharks.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02222285630170549901noreply@blogger.com0Traverse City, MI 49685, USA44.7138218 -85.70511160000000944.5332413 -86.0278351 44.894402299999996 -85.382388100000014
