VM1138 1,921 Report post Posted May 10, 2011 Thought you fans of Red Wings history might enjoy this. I was doing research today and found this neat advertisement. It was in the Free Press the day before the Detroit hockey franchise played its first game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VM1138 1,921 Report post Posted May 10, 2011 (edited) huge fan of wings history, please send any wings history stuff you find my way! or NHL in general. As of right now that's the only image, but I expect more in the near future. The rest were scans of articles that I'm using for a research project. You could check out my sig, I wrote a short little ebook on the 1937 playoff run. It's a neat little piece of history. Edited May 10, 2011 by VM1138 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VM1138 1,921 Report post Posted May 10, 2011 You know the franchise has a chance when you start your 1st season with "Happy" Holmes between the pipes. And one of them has the nickname "Gizzy?" The first half of the 20th century really liked their silly little nicknames. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
