Arena observes moment of silence for longtime owner; players have full hearts in affectionate recollections
Anthony Mantha remembers with fondness the first time he met Mike Ilitch.
Red Wings players and coaches spent Wednesday saying good-bye to their beloved team owner, from spending the morning at the Fox Theatre viewing to paying tribute to Ilitch during the 2-0 loss to the St. Louis Blues at Joe Louis Arena. Ilitch died Friday. He was 87.
Mantha was at his newly minted locker last season at The Joe when Ilitch appeared.
