Yes, finally a Red Wings Game. This one is considered a big stroke of luck due to me winning the tickets due to a raffle. A raffle that had over 200 people putting tickets in. I had won raffles before but they were very small ones, such as small Special Ed raffles with 10 or fewer students in them. That’s an easy raffle to win. That’s four times I just said raffle (now five) in this blog post, I better take it easy with that word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, The Red Wings now play at Little Caesars Arena. I do miss Joe Louis Arena but I suppose you can’t have the same team play for eons in the same stadium I guess. I’ve heard stories about how the Islanders had been behind on the times. Also, there is The Port Huron Prowlers and how old their arena is, but I do like that old-school feel. I knew I wasn’t going to get much of this while visiting Little Caesars Arena, but that wasn’t a serious problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today’s game was against the Minnesota Wild. I do remember that Minnesota had the North Stars until the franchise moved to Dallas in 93-94 and became just the Stars. It would be fucking idiotic to call them the Dallas North Stars, eh? Dallas’s first game was against the Red Wings at Dallas’ home stadium and Dallas beat the Red Wings 6-4. I could have sworn that was Osgood’s first game but Hockey-Reference says otherwise<\/a>! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Minnesota North Stars were featured in the first Mighty Ducks movie, and they played against another defunct team, the Hartford Whalers. Can’t get enough of that 90s hockey. I also saw a man wear a Detroit Vipers jersey, I want one of those! The first period was quite dramatic with the Wings leading 3-2 at the end of it all. But although I was rooting for the Red Wings, this fuck up by Alex Nedeljkovic in the first period made me laugh my ass off:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although I'm rooting for the Red Wings (at the game), that's hilarious! https:\/\/t.co\/hGF0Q9mPwy<\/a><\/p>— Robbie Thomas (@RobbeeWrite) March 11, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote>
