Caputo: Wings need to reassess the ‘rebuild on the fly’

I have been blogging about the Red Wings since 2006, when MLive hired me to work their SlapShots blog, and I joined Kukla's Korner in 2011 as The Malik Report. I'm starting The Malik Report as a stand-alone site, hoping that having my readers fund the website is indeed the way to go to build a better community and create better content.

  1. WOW, this might be the most honest, no BS, article on the Red Wings I’ve read in a while.

    1. Basically cut and paste from things I’be been saying for years. Others too. Starts with Kenny. Can’t wait for him to leave the organization.
