The Red Wings took the first game in the season series against the Blackhawks and the Joe Louis Arena rocked all night long.
The game started with a new hockey tradition at the Joe. The Wings are going to have an organ at games where they play original six teams; however, the organ was a bit too much.
The energy in the Joe erupted in the first period when the new Red Wings Brad May and Hawks’ Radek Smolenak had words for half the TV timeout and duked it out as soon as the puck dropped. The energy after May won the fight never died away, even after Chicago scored the first goal early in the second.
