My parents are visiting the US so I decided to take my father to Red Wings home game against the defending champions LA Kings; and boy, have Red Wings given us a game?! First period - 4:0. Datsyuk and Nyquist were destroying Kings... Final score was 5:2 and even though RW failed miserably in second period, "The Magician" was great and Nyquist is a raising star. We've shown these champions how it's going down in Hockeytown!!!
My father is of this generation that remembers famous "Canada vs USSR" withstanding (he was a teen at that time); so he remembers Gordie Howe (he played with Phil Esposito) when he was playing for Canada against USSR. And he said it was a big honor for him to hold "Get well Gordie" sign today in support of Gordie Howe.... He kept "Get Well Gordie" sign as a souvenir.
