Sorry for the long time between posts, I finally finished exams and an unemployed so I have lots of time to actually watch some sports! So here you go!
The Detroit Red Wings may no longer be in the playoffs but you will not be able to escape the Wings in the news, not as long as Steve Yzerman remains undecided about returning for a 23rd season in the NHL.

He'll be remembered for helping Jiri Fisher's fianc
