FYI from The Athletic’s Max Bultman:
Joe Veleno did, indeed, drive with Steve Yzerman from Detroit tonight. Just thought it would be easier than going to the airport. They listened to UM-MSU football, talked a bit, and Veleno slept a bit, too.— Max Bultman (@m_bultman) October 31, 2021
“I was a bit shy & didn’t know what to talk about … Once I got to spend a bit of time with him in the car I was a little more comfortable.”
