No Wings and Dick Clark
I was happy to see the Detroit Red Wings get picked to play in the NHL’s outdoor game on New Year’s Day, but it came with a price.
The Wings will not play their traditional New Year’s Eve game at Joe Louis Arena.
That’s too bad. I’ve always enjoyed watching the Wings on television before ringing in the New Year. It was developing into almost as nice a tradition as the Lions on Thanksgiving Day.
But it would have been unfair to ask them to play on New Year’s Eve, then travel to Chicago for a game the following afternoon.
Let’s hope the New Year’s Eve game is back next year.
