The Detroit Red Wings were near the bottom of the NHL standings for last season and according to the Vegas odds for the Stanley Cup they will be there again next season.
Detroit Red Wings legend Gordie Howe, who came to be known as "Mr. Hockey", has died at the age of 88. Arguably one of the two greatest hockey players of all time, Howe had been in fragile health for several years following a series of strokes, but had rallied in the past year after undergoing experimental treatments.
