Detroit Red Wings

Let's start with ESPN sure does know how to do a sports documentary. I lived in Michigan in 1996 and 1997, and the director captured what was going on at the time. The Detroit Red Wings had been down for a long time, but were slowly climbing back into respectability under the ownership of the Ilitch family.

If you love hockey, Michigan has a ton of teams you can root for. It also is the home of one of the best (and worst) cities for Hockey Fans to live in.

Red Wings fans remember "Bloody Wednesday" like it was yesterday.

The Detroit Red Wings fired longtime Zamboni driver Al Sobotka, known to generations of Red Wings fans as the man who swung an octopus over his head to rev fans up.

It's a broken record to say that this is one of the most memorable hockey fights of all time

This sounds like a concept for a sports movie, but it really happened on February 2, 1954.

Former Detroit Red Wing Justin Abdelkader is hoping to resume his professional hockey career. The Grand Rapids Griffins announced today they have signed the former NHL'er to a tryout contract.

The Detroit Red Wings defeated the Buffalo Sabres two times in three days. Here's what the first of those two victories looked like from Little Caesar's Arena.

Getting the band back together again, that term has a lot of nostalgic charm to it. And if the hiring of Nicklas Lidstrom, as the Red Wings vice-president of hockey operations helps lead to a trip to the Stanley Cup Final, then this could be a stroke of genius on former teammate Steve Yzerman's part. At the moment, this is the first step in Lidstrom becoming a part of the hockey world and the Detroit Red Wings.

Dylan Larkin is already known as a class act around the NHL, but the Detroit star proved why he's a fan favorite as well.
