Usually when we play the Avs, we start with a flashback to the 90s and all the chaos and Shanahanigans and grudges galore. Not tonight. Tonight, we look back a lot farther than that in honor of Red Wings Legend and Extremely Good Man, Ted Lindsay.
We spend a lot of time lamenting the state of the rebuild and the woes of the team, and I will likely spend time farther down the page doing just that, but first we will think about Ted Lindsay. A career full of punches thrown and pucks sniped and a long life of courage and charity.
