The Red Wings posted a “Blast From the Past” Tweet noting that Henrik Zetterberg scored his first NHL goal on this day in 2002, against the same Anaheim Ducks that would vex the Wings in the spring of 2003…
What gets me, though, is the lineup. Zetterberg centering Luc Robitaille and Brendan Shanahan, along with Chris Chelios and Dmitri Bykov on defense. Three Hockey Hall of Famers, one who should join them shortly, and a guy who played one great NHL season and went home.
