I was unable to watch the game on Sunday, but I knew that Detroit
fams would have nothing but love for him. How could they not. He was,
well is and always will be, a part of Detroit on and off the ice. He
found his way in the hearts of Detroit fans, that is something that
will never go away. The Grind line will live FOREVER in the hearts of
true Red Wing fans everywhere!!!!
