Brendan Smith has great memories of the time he spent as a Red Wing with the legendary Ted Lindsay, the eight-time, first-team NHL All-Star, four-time Cup winner and father of the NHLPA who died Monday in his Michigan home at the age of 93.
“A magnificent man,” said Smith, who spent the first seven years of his pro career in the Detroit organization. “He was around the team a lot when I was there, he had a charity golf tournament, he would tell these incredible stories about his teams and talk about how the game had evolved over the years.
