The Detroit Red Wings have a storied history as an Original Six Franchise. Many have worn the Winged Wheel on the front of the sweater and shared a number with another on the back. Some of those numbers hang proudly in the rafters. Others are forgotten and given to the next person on the roster.
Over the next week and a half, Octopus Thrower will write-up the greatest names to wear every number (where applicable). Today we continue with #’s 71-80.
#71-Jiri Slegr
Playing a grand total of 9 games for the Detroit Red Wings, Jiri Slegr has one of the shortest but more successful stints in Red Wings history.
