Post your tidbits here about red wings stuff that people might not know.
Gordie Howe wore #17 his rookie year and only switched because #9 got him a lower bunk on the train.

Must be a slow off season. Great topic but we have no exciting off season news....sad.
If I had a story like that I would post one. Sorry to de-rail.

Money on the board-SCP 2013
I'm going with the 22 special. 2 bucks for every 22 goal. 2 bucks for every 22 fight
5 bucks for every series win....another 5 for every shut out! LETS GO RED WINGS!!
ADDENDUM: Since it looks like Toots may not reinserted in the series, I would like to offer Bert his money on the board. So, 2 bucks for every Bert fight, 2 bucks for every Bert goal AND since OT has been a pattern, I want to add 5 bucks for any RED WINGS OT winner. LET'S GO RED WINGS!!!!

As no adequate arena was available in Detroit when the team received it's League franchise charter, all home games in the first season were played in Windsor.

In 1988 Bob Probert set the Red Wings franchise record for playoff points in a single season with 21.
That record wasn't broken until 1995 when Fedorov scored 24 points (Yzerman tied the record in '98 with 24 of his own)

The Red Wings' famed 1989 draft, in which we drafted Lidstrom (3rd) and Fedorov (4th) in back to back middle rounds, could have been even better. The Wings planned on taking Pavel Bure in the 6th round, but were sniped by 3 picks instead. The Wings selected Dallas Drake instead (still a pretty damn good pick for the 6th round), and Bure scored 437 NHL goals, despite the fact his knees basically didn't work by the time he was 30.
Could you imagine what a Russian Five might have looked like if it were Fedorov, Bure, and Larionov/Kozlov. Then again, given the problems that would LATER arise between Fedorov, Bure, and a certain Russian tennis player, who knows what that might have done to Fedorov and team chemistry.

The longest game in NHL history took place on March 24, 1936, during a playoff game between the Detroit Red Wings and the Montreal Maroons. The teams battled through 116 minutes and 30 seconds of overtime. Rookie Moderre "Mud" Bruneteau would score in the 6th overtime period to win the game at 2:25 am.
When Sergei Fedorov was accidentally hit by his own player and went down, the trainer knew it was serious when the now fluent in English Fedorov could only answer questions asked on how he felt in Russian. He was subsequently out for weeks with a concussion.

In 1938, the Wings and the Montreal Canadiens became the first NHL teams to play in Europe, playing in Paris and London. The Wings played nine games against the Canadiens and went 3-5-1; they did not play in Europe again until the preseason and start of the 2009-10 NHL season in Sweden against the St. Louis Blues. They lost those games as well.
