April 12 has been a very eventful date in National Hockey League history. The greatest player in the game was one of many future Hall of Famers who made his mark on this date. A second-generation Hall of Famer had a huge day and plenty of Stanley Cup Playoff history was made. Let’s begin our
Defenseman Marc Staal was still with the Red Wings after Monday’s morning skate and he hopes he’s going to remain there. For a variety of reasons, actually.
