Detroit Red Wings

Detroit Red Wings rookie Elmer Soderblom shines in his NHL debut.

When you gotta go, you gotta go, and apparently having to go is the reason longtime Red Wing Zamboni driver Al Sobotka is gone. Follow?

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.

Ah, the fruits of one's labors. When you're the captain of the Detroit Red Wing, married to a beautiful woman and making a ton of money, it can feel like you're on top of the world.

This crazy fight in the stands between fans happened at Red Wings vs Flyers game.

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

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.

Little Caesar's Arena is home to both the Detroit Pistons and the Detroit Red Wings. So how do they so seamlessly switch between NHL and NBA?
