Shaved Ice – April 15

Welcome back to the work/school week.

Big win by the Red Wings last night, as they posted a 3-0 road victory over Nashville. Henrik Zetterberg, Johan Franzen and Justin Abdelkader scored for Detroit, while Jimmy Howard stopped all 22 shots he saw to earn the shutout.

Dan DeKeyser also picked up his first career point, assisting on Zetterberg’s second-period goal. Scoring line reads Zetterberg from DeKeyser and Datsyuk – not bad company for a major achievement for a Michigan-born player.

The win puts the Wings in the No. 8 spot in the West as they battle to keep their playoff streak alive.

The Whalers took care of business once again, and now they’ve got a date with the London Knights in the Western Conference Finals. Plymouth eliminated Owen Sound in six games after a Sunday 3-1 victory on the road.

Despite losing in OT to Peoria, the Griffins have secured their spot in the 2013 Calder Cup Playoffs.

Todd Krygier has officially resigned from his head coaching duties at Novi High School with the hopes of moving onto the college ranks.
