Very few cities in the NHL have the history or the following of the Detroit Red Wings.
From Steve Yzerman
I also feel I adapted. I was willing to try to fit into any role. The way I figured, it was always up to me to prove my worth, that I deserved to be here.
Playoff hockey is the best way to market your team. It's the best way to grow your fan base and give hope to your players and for them to develop.
When you're on the ice, you have very little time, you see very little, and everything happens really quick.
When it gets to this point, it's just hard to pull the trigger.
We used to play a lot outdoors, not in leagues, but just in our spare time.
We have two tables on our airplane that are set up with the games.
We have to get better at that. All of the Stanley Cup winning teams throughout the past few seasons, when they needed to play defense, they did it. If you can play defense, that's when you know it's game over.
There used to be an old thing where every team had a heavy bag in their locker room for people to punch, but again, it was more about conditioning because if you hit a heavy bag for a minute, it feels like your arms are about to fall off.
The 70's hair with the long on the sides, just doesn't look good coming down the sides of the helmet.
