A dog. Die Hard. A dream come true.

The Detroit Red Wings began a holiday break Monday, as the NHL shuts down for three days around Christmas — there are no games, and not even a practice is allowed again until Thursday. It’s an opportunity to relax, refresh — and reflect. Three Wings shared their favorite memories of Christmases past — like gatherings, or gifts that still elicit a smile.
