The Blackhawks rivalry with the Redwings is one of the best in the NHL

The Blackhawks and Redwings have one of the most fierce rivalries in the NHL, and it is great that we could potentially have it back for another season.

The Blackhawks and Redwings have been divisional opponents throughout most of NHL history. Until 2013, when the Redwings moved out to the Eastern Conference in a move that sent Detroit and Columbus out east and gave the Blackhawks more time against the Winnipeg Jets.

During the past several seasons, I have missed watching the Blackhawks and Redwings play each other throughout the regular season, especially considering how bad Detroit has gotten over the past few years.
