Who wants to take a trip down memory lane?
Last time the Red Wings and Lightning faced off, things got...contentious. Fights, game misconducts, and other fun (including one suspension we shall not discuss) ensued. Tonight, Detroit faced off against their biggest rival in recent memory. Where the Red Wings came off from a huge win against the Carolina Hurricanes, Tampa suffered an absolute 5-1 beatdown from the Pittsburgh Penguins. John Cooper, Tampa’s coach, was ejected last game by Wes McCauley...who just so happens to be working tonight’s game.
Without further ado, let’s get to it.
