Red Wings Fans Honor Ailing Gordie Howe With Standing Ovation

Hockey legend Gordie Howe suffered a stroke at his daughter’s home in Texas earlier this week and is on the long road to recovery. To honor the legend, Red Wings fans gave him a standing ovation and a highlight video played on the videoboard at Joe Louis Arena on Friday. Players and coaches also stood up and clapped or tapped their sticks during the touching moment. It’s tough to see such a legendary player struggling health-wise, especially one as beloved as Howe.
