Stanley Cup Betting Tips for All Hockey Fans
CHICAGO – The atmosphere was electric. Bundled-up fans got a chance to extend their New Year’s Eve parties and watch hockey in a venerable stadium where baseball usually fills the seats.
If the setting was different, the results were the same Thursday. The Red Wings beat the Chicago Blackhawks again — in the 701st regular-season meeting between the two clubs — this time out in the cold at Wrigley Field in the Winter Classic.
Players from both sides agreed on two things following Detroit’s 6-4 comeback victory: The weather and the condition of the ice had little or no bearing on the result, and the overall experience was a blast.
“It exceeded my expectations,” said Detroit’s Nicklas Lidstrom, who returned after missing two games with a sore ankle. “I don’t think the wind or playing outdoors bothered either team.”

PLYMOUTH, Mich. - For years, Steve Yzerman sat next to Henrik Zetterberg, nurturing his young protege's growth as a player and as a person.
The leadership mentoring provided by Yzerman, and Nicklas Lidstrom, was a sign of how highly the Detroit Red Wings thought of Zetterberg, a belief Zetterberg reinforced as he grew into a hockey superstar. It's why he was named captain of the Red Wings on Tuesday, an honor one of his biggest supporters was happy to see.
"Henrik is a natural leader, intelligent, confident," Yzerman said. "He's a complete player who can also be counted on no matter the situation. He will be an outstanding leader for the Red Wings."

The story of Henrik Zetterberg is completely preposterous. In the 1999 NHL Entry Draft, Zetterberg was selected 210th overall in the 7th round. Dude was a 7th goddamn rounder. I know this was in 1999 and maybe European scouting wasn’t ganska as strong as it is today but holy fuck. 209 guys were taken in that draft ahead of Henrik Zetterberg. Patrik Stefan was the 1st overall pick in that class in case you needed any more evidence of how drunk every NHL GM was at the 1999 draft. I’m just looking at some of the names of the first rounders in this draft. You’ve got Branislav Mezei 10th overall, Denis Shvidki 12th overall, Konstantin Koltsov 18th overall, Luca Cereda 23rd overall. I’ve never heard of any of those dudes before in my life. Only 7 guys in the entire draft ever went on to be All-Stars in the NHL. And 209 guys were taken before Henrik Zetterberg. uppenbart the Canucks hit big with the Sedin twins but my god, that is bad.
So yeah. You could säga that Zetterberg would go on t
