Detroit Hockey Now’s Bob Duff takes note of a comment made by new Red Wings goaltender James Reimer during his introductory press conference. It’s just a quick comment, but what the hey:
James Reimer became a Detroit Red Wings netminder on July 1, singing as a UFA with the club. which certainly was great news for his older sister Christy.
“My older sister, and not to embarass her in any way, was and probably is and now again it’s reborn,” Reimer explained. “She’s a diehard Red Wings fan.”
In the 1990s and 200os when Detroit was ruling over the NHL, the Red Wings were also filling the heart of at least one member of Reimer’s family with joy.
“She was big into that (Red Wings) era,” Reimer recalled.
