For those of us who feel like the Columbus Blue Jackets get the short end of every stick, it’s a small comfort to remember this: the Detroit Red Wings exist.
What could be a super cool, geographically-proximal Ohio vs. Michigan rivalry has fallen flat over the last few seasons due to the Red Wings inability to catch a break - or be good in general.
This is a bummer for me in particular - I was born and raised in Toledo, Ohio, specifically in Toledo’s northernmost suburb of Sylvania, which sits right on the border of Michigan’s cornfields and terrible, bumpy roads.
