On Sunday in honor of Detroit Red Wings legend Gordie Howe’s 85th birthday, the Red Wings wore #9 Howe jerseys during warmups. No word on what will be done with the jerseys after, but it is definitely a nice gesture for Mr. Hockey. Unfortunately the Red Wings came out flat and gave up three goals early in the first period to the Chicago Blackhawks and they appear to be out of the game already. It doesn’t help your comeback when you have guys scoring on your own team.
