A 12:30pm start? In this economy?
Saturday’s matchup with the Tampa Bay Lightning fell on a special day for the Red Wings franchise. March 26th is the anniversary of ‘Fight Night’ and Wings fans came out in troves to celebrate with a little afternoon hockey. Unfortunately for those watching at home, most of the highlights were from that fateful day in 1997. This rivalry tilt didn’t see any goal-scoring until the third period.
There was a lot to like from the Red Wings in the first period. Tampa Bay started the game with the ice tilted in its favor, but it didn’t take long for the home team to start applying pressure.
