Situation Room Review Of The Brad Stuart Goal

Video Review: Anaheim at Detroit - 14:00 of the first period
05.03.2009 / 02:38 PM ET

Video Review -Anaheim at Detroit, 14:00 of 1st period - Hockey Operations used video review to determine if Detroit player Stuart used a distinct kicking motion (the fact that the puck bounced off Anaheim defenseman Wisniewski before going in the net is not a factor - Rule 49.2 states “A kicked puck that deflects off the body of any player of either team shall be ruled no goal").  The decision of Hockey Ops was that Stuart did not use a distinct kicking motion - Good goal.

Kings Need Defense

by Alanah McGinley on 07/01/08 at 11:52 PM ET

Rich Hammond at Inside the Kings spoke with Kings GM Dean Lombardi tonight.  Some highlights from that conversation:

-- The Kings were right there on Brad Stuart, and apparently didn’t have a problem with either the term or the money, but Stuart decided that he wanted to play for the Red Wings. To this, Lombardi basically tipped his hat and said, ``I can’t blame him for that.’’

-- Lombardi still has his eye on a defenseman who, in his words, fits with both the present and the future. He’s not at liberty to name names, obviously, but I don’t think it’s hard to do some reading between the lines, right?

-- Rob Blake is still there as a strong possibility, and discussions are ongoing.

Brad Stuart May Have A Shoulder Problem

by Paul on 06/24/08 at 06:59 AM ET

from Ted Kulfan of the Detroit News,

But a deal with Brad Stuart, another potential unrestricted free-agent defenseman, might not get done until close to the July 1 deadline—if it gets done at all—and now there’s another hang-up.

Stuart will get his shoulder examined Wednesday after complaining of recent soreness.

General manager Ken Holland said Stuart only recently began having problems with the shoulder, and it wasn’t an issue during the playoffs.

“It’s something that came out of the blue,” Holland said.

Game #2 Audio from the Scrum

by Alanah McGinley on 05/27/08 at 12:22 PM ET

The Hockey News has been archiving audio from the winner’s dressing room after each game. 

Go here to hear Scotty Bowman share his thoughts, then scroll down the page and you’ll find links to commentary from Niklas Lidstrom, Brad Stuart, Valteri Filpulla and Johan Franzen.

On a related note, a comment from Paul that I thought I’d pass on:

After Babcock finished his post game press conference, he met with Scotty for about ten minutes, one on one, going over the game.  How much of a help Bowman is to the Wings, we may never know, but it certainly cannot hurt to have Bowman use his “consultant” role to the fullest extent.

Time For Brad Stuart To Settle Down

by Paul on 05/27/08 at 09:07 AM ET
Comments (8)

from Larry Wigge of NHL.com,

Stuart realizes he may have to give in when it comes to salary to stay in Detroit, but the results of the last 27 games for Brad seem to indicate the two sides should be able to get a deal done.

After Stuart was a minus-16 in his first 63 games in Los Angeles this season, the game plan in Detroit to take advantage of the defense’s mobility and skills certainly plays right into Brad’s wheelhouse.

“Coach Babcock spelled out what he wanted me to do, what my role was from Day 1,” Stuart acknowledged. “The game plan is what you would expect from a winning team like this: Keep it simple ... and if you see you can make a play or make a hit go ahead.”

Brad Stuart Enjoying Detroit

from Dave Waddell of the Windsor Star,

This is a pretty good situation, but I’m not thinking about that right now,” Stuart said. “I’d like to see how it plays out, but I’d like to explore the possibility of staying. When the time comes, I’m definitely hoping to be here.”

While financial considerations will play a role in any negotiation, Stuart said the price of happiness isn’t always tied to money.

The native of Rocky Mountain House, Alta., has had his fill of losing since entering the NHL with San Jose and L.A.

“Winning definitely comes into play,” the 28-year-old Stuart said.

“Being on a losing team is not that much fun no matter what you’re being paid. Coming to the rink, to a winning environment and a positive atmosphere is definitely worth something.

“Those things are going to be something I think more about after we’re done (the season).”
