TAMPA, Fla. – Darren Helm was watching Olympic skeleton when he, a man once nicknamed ‘Danger’ because of his speed on ice, found himself curious.
“I just want to know how they get into a sport like that,” Helm said Thursday. “Like, what makes them join that event.”
As the Detroit Red Wings prepared for the evening game against the Tampa Bay Lightning at Amalie Arena, the television in the visitors locker room was tuned to coverage of the Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang.
