The Detroit News is reporting that the Wings are refuting the story that broke yesterday that Lidstrom will be the next captain. (http://www.detnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060824/SPORTS0103/608240430/1128)

This could be legit, or it could be the News trying to undermine the Free Press scoop from yesterday, where they stated that, although not yet official, the Wings had decided on Lidstrom. The Free Press re-ran the same story again today.

They should give it to someone younger.
