Tweet of note: Take them out to the ballgame

The Red Wings are watching the Detroit Tigers game today:

Update: The Hockey News’s Sam Stockton offers this from Derek Lalonde:

A few hours earlier, coach Derek Lalonde—himself a western New Yorker by birth—expressed his enthusiasm for the sports synergy he’s found in his adopted home town of Detroit.  

“I sound like a broken record when it comes to the [Detroit] sports,” Lalonde said after today’s two practices concluded.  “Very excited today because my Buffalo Bills looked really good [last night], so I had a little more jump in my step in the locker room.  Bills are in a good spot because Patrick Kane [from Buffalo] was half on board.  I asked him to be more invested this year, so no surprise we’re 3-0.  Of course, I watched the Lions.  They’ve made me fans [sic].  Obviously, Detroit is personal.  We share the same ownership [with the Tigers].  Even some internal growth and beliefs in approaching some things.  It’s been pretty cool what they’ve done.  I like the Tigers.  I lost my baseball team, the Expos, back in the day, so I’ve kinda been a free agent, and that logo D is tough not to like.  It’s been fun to watch.”
