When Red Wings defenseman Niklas Kronwall first came into the league, he had to keep his head on a swivel when Jan. 12 rolled around.
That's because then-teammate Kris Draper would be lurking, waiting to catch the birthday boy off guard so he could deliver a shaving cream pie to the face.
With so many younger teammates now, they wouldn't dare do such a thing to a respected player like Kronwall.
"Times are changing in a lot of ways," Kronwall laughed after the team's optional morning skate at Xcel Energy Center.
