Don’t get me wrong, I am a Detroit Red Wings fan through and through and I still enjoy watching nearly every game they play. But to say out of market NHL fans are going to tune into this original six match-up would be a stretch.
Both of these historic franchises are in what they hope is the midst of a rebuild. Both teams were sellers at the trade deadline and both of the fans of each franchise, for the most part, wished they sold more.
The Detroit Red Wings have gone winless in their last eight games.
