Detroit Red Wings Schedule

During every hockey season, fans in Hockeytown, USA eagerly await the unveiling of the annual Detroit Red Wings schedule. And as they take their first glance at the game calendar, you can almost sense them trying to mentally play the season out in their minds to see how the Wings will do. Will they manage to earn enough wins on the ice to reach the playoffs this season? Odds are good, considering that Detroit has made the NHL postseason cut ever year since 1991 while earning four President's Trophies and three Stanley Cups during that period of time. Plus, with the talented players currently donning the red and white jerseys of the Wings hockey franchise, there is no reason to believe that this will be the year that their playoff streak comes to an end. That should make sports fans in the Motor City, and throughout Michigan, quite happy indeed.

2005 Detroit Red Wings Schedule

With NHL hockey returning from a season-long hiatus, Michigan hockey fans are counting the days until the 2005 Detroit Red Wings schedule kicks off with a home game against the St. Louis Blues. The Blues finished second to the Wings in the Central Division in 2003-04, 18-points behind the 2004 President's Trophy winning Red Wings. The two teams will meet in a home-and-home series, with the puck dropping at Joe Louis Stadium on October 5 at 7:30pm, and the clubs heading to St. Louis for an 8:00pm rematch the following evening. From there, the Wings head home for games against Calgary and Vancouver on October 9 and 10, before closing out the first full week of regular season action on the road against Los Angeles on October 13 and Phoenix on October 15. They close out the first month of the 2005-06 season with home games against San Jose, Anaheim and Chicago and road contests with the Blue Jackets and the Blackhawks.
