Jim Devellano, Red Wings senior vice president & alternate governor, talks about building the Red Wings Stanley Cup teams in the 90’s, including drafting Steve Yzerman, Nicklas Lidstrom, Sergei Fedorov, and more.

Red Wings Rumblings The NHL had a big ol’ fat-ass goof on social media Thursday night. I wish I could post the tweet, but it was deleted. Thankfully we’ve got screenshots: It appears the NHL social media team somehow mixed up Henrik Zetterberg and Evgeni Malkin. Normal world. This isn’t really news or anything, and
