Shaved Ice – August 27

MiHockey editor Michael Caples here with you on a gloomy Monday in metro Detroit.

Quick hits

We’ve added more photos to our MSU pro camp gallery – see them right here.

It is expected that Shane Doan will sign a contract by Sept. 15 (the same day the CBA expires), via the Detroit Free Press.

The Red Wings checked in at No. 15 in the pro jersey rankings on ESPN.com. For all the hockey fans (which I’m assuming is 100 percent of the audience that reads this blog), the Habs took the top spot, the Bruins finished at No. 5, and the Rangers took No. 11. The Detroit Tigers also checked in at No. 24. Two teams in one city in the top 25? Way to go, Detroit.

Highlight reel

In case you missed it, here’s the 30 Teams in 30 Days feature on the Red Wings from NHL.com.

Outside the Mitten

Sudbury captured the Junior Club World Cup on Sunday in Russia.

Former Saginaw Spirit forward Brandon Saad is expected to be able to make the jump right from juniors to the NHL.

CBA talks resume on Tuesday. Let’s hope they’re not short and sweet, and that they actually start getting some stuff figured out.
