Hey all!
Sorry for lack of posting. It's been a busy week for me, but slow week in Red Wings hockey!
It's only 51 days until season home opener and I can't wait!
After the pre-season starts, this blog will become more active as I will give reviews about the games and find quotes that a player may say about the game played.
Soon, I will also start doing a post about a player once a week. I have done a Darren Helm post a while ago, and will start getting that back up again.
I hope the past week has found everyone good!
Remember to smile! :)

Is it October yet?
I ask myself that question all the time lately! I am so excited for the new season to start...it's making this summer go by kind of slow. Not to mention, where I live in Michigan...it has been a heck of a lot cooler summer than I hoped. :( So to me, I think if it's going to have these lower than normal temperatures...there better be some hockey.
Today, I happily learned that the new girl I am training is also just as much into the Red Wings and hockey as I am. I asked our co-workers Cheree and Libby if they remembered how I was during last season. They looked at each other, laughed, and rolled their eyes. I just smirked and said "Double that." And pointed to Brandi. They stopped laughing and started muttering how bad it's going to be.
I was usually in a good to great mood the days after games the Wings won (depending on how intense the game was) and in a pretty crabby mood on the days the Wings lost. Plus they always had to hear me going on and on about hockey and they all have no idea what I'm talking about. At least NOW I will have someone understand what I mean if I say slashing or cross-checking.
The joy and feeling that run through my veins when I watch hockey...the aggressiveness, the energy, the spirit...so much that give me such a natural high. I am too excited for the new season to start with new rivalries and new players to the team. It's amazing to see so many guys from all over the world play on the same team for the ultimate prize.
LORD STANLEY'S CUP!

Darren Helm
To start out my posts on current players of the Detroit Red Wings, I chose to talk about Darren Helm. His my absolute favorite player. A signed and framed picture of him in action is currently above my bed where I lay my head. To the left of my bed is a Red Wings banner and to the right of that is a picture of Pavel Datsyuk (my second favorite player) from a Red Wings Calendar I gave my father for Christmas one year. The picture is put onto a wooden circle with clear film. My dad made it for me for Christmas 2012. I love it. Sydney got Johan Franzen and Gabrielle got Jimmy Howard...their favorite players.
Unfortunately, Helm did not skate with the Red Wings in the 2012-2013 season (except for one game) because of a back injury he obtained at training camp right before the season started. During the season, Helm had been doing therapy and taking it slow to ensure a better back for this coming season. Good news! All that therapy and taking it easy sure paid off, as Darren can be expected in the line up and skating in the 2013-2014 season!
That news had me soooo happy!!!
As #43 on the Detroit Red Wings, Darren Helm was 5th round pick at 132nd overall pick in the 2005 NHL Entry Draft. He hails from Winnipeg, MB, Canada and was born on January 21, 1987 (26 years old). He plays Center on the team, is a one time Stanley Cup Champion (2008), won Gold with Team Canada in the 2007 IIHF World Junior Championships, and won a WHL title in 2007 when he played with Medicine Hat.
Fun Facts:
Hockey hero: Joe Sakic
Favorite Food: Steak
Favorite Sport (besides hockey): Volleyball
Favorite Off-season hobby: Fishing
I am completely looking forward to bragging about Helm in the future games that I am pretty sure I will be attending. ;)
As always, thanks for reading!

New blog!
So I have finally started my new blog just about the Detroit Red Wings.
I have created this blog to help express my love and passion for the Red Wings and hockey. I will be posting cool facts about players, the team, traditions of the team...and when the season starts...about the games that I am sure I will be at. :)
I hope you all enjoy and can even begin to develop an interest in the sport that I consider to be the BEST!
