Olympia

That area of Detroit, like many other areas, has changed so much in the decades since this picture was taken. So many of the homes in the background are no longer there. Imagine living that close to the Olympia. Walking to Wings games. Would have been an amazing experience.

Binging on all things hockey these past weeks. Came across this. Nearly 2 hours of Probert and Kocur beating dudes up.

John Bucyk was a Wing? I had no idea until 5 minutes ago. Mind blown.

Interesting, though, how that happens around the NHL. A guy will put in a few seasons with a team and find himself shipped off only to become a start.

Smokestick: Red Kelly was still a Red Wing in 1956, and not yet a politician, when he had Detroit teammate Marty Pavelich (middle) and his wife, Anna Jean, down to his Simcoe, Ontario, tobacco farm for a visit. Here he shows, as you might, a stick of dried tobacco leaves.
