Everett FitzhughHOST
But, you know, last year the Saddle Dome was – I'm going to say this real quick.
Everett FitzhughHOST
Growing up as a hockey fan, just in general, right, I grew up in Detroit, Joe Louis Arena.
Everett FitzhughHOST
It was a dump, but it was our dump.
Everett FitzhughHOST
And I was very fortunate to live in a place – where we got CBC, I got to grow up, I grew up watching Hockey Night in Canada, that's how I became an Edmonton Oilers fan as a kid, sorry Kraken fans, I'm all Kraken now, Edmonton really ticks me off, but you watch Hockey Night in Canada, and you get to see, you know, I used to watch those games, Jerome McGinley in the Saddle Dome, watch those Flames teams, and that was always a building that I just loved watching, I would play NHL video games, and I love, I don't know, and now having been in this role now for five years, going on six years here.
Derek LawsonHOST
Well, I guess it looks like it's going to be another year of brutality at the LCA.
Derek LawsonHOST
It seems like after y'all left Joe Louis Arena, the Red Wings just figured all that tradition died along with it at the Joe.
Derek LawsonHOST
Well...
Derek LawsonHOST
That's
Pierre McGuireHOST
Uh, I would like to see a transition at some point where Sid is part of what Mario was.
Pierre McGuireHOST
Uh, I'll never forget walking out of Joe Lewis Arena after game five of the Stanley Cup final in 2009.
Jimmy MurphyHOST
I love this story.
Pierre McGuireHOST
They got crushed, and it's just Mario and I walking out of the rink together.
PeteAUDIENCE
I wouldn't see these guys at the Olympia.
PeteAUDIENCE
I wouldn't see these guys at Joe Louis Arena.
PeteAUDIENCE
Well, that might qualify you to be the GM.
PeteAUDIENCE
You
Kirk McKnightHOST
And this is our Throwback Thursday.
Kirk McKnightHOST
It has very much to do with Detroit because it took place at Joe Louis Arena.
Kirk McKnightHOST
And where better a place for Gordie Howe to basically take the ice alongside, not alongside, against, other side of the face-off circle, a 19-year-old Gordie Howe or 19-year-old Wayne Gretzky.
Kirk McKnightHOST
So Mr. Hockey sitting at 51, 52 years old right there.
Kirk McKnightHOST
You have Mr. Hockey, the great one, and one third or one part of the French connection all out on the ice at one time or on the same night.
Kirk McKnightHOST
Tell me that wouldn't be something that you would have just been clawing to get a ticket to.
Kirk McKnightHOST
If that were to take place today, right? This is Joe Louis Arena, French Connection, Mr.
Kirk McKnightHOST
Hockey, the great one, John Rattel is out there.
Hanif AbdurraqibHOST
Right
Bill BlackwellGUEST
... "to move into the next six and seven shows." But, uh, yeah, we famously, you know, did, you know, eight shows, you know, in a row at Pine Knob, seven shows at Joe Louis.
Bill BlackwellGUEST
And, um, and usually we simply stopped because we had to get to the next, you know, leg of the tour.
Hanif AbdurraqibHOST
To zoom out a bit and, and talk about some of these venues, you know, Detroit's like a lot of places where it's over the years lost some of these iconic venues.
Hanif AbdurraqibHOST
Joe Louis is gone.
Hanif AbdurraqibHOST
Cobo Hall's not the same.
Bill BlackwellGUEST
Olympia's gone.
Lou GamelinGUEST
And it's just such an ugly, ugly look for a once proud franchise, Rod.
Lou GamelinGUEST
I mean, I know it's not as bad as it was in the early 80s when they used to have to give away a car at Joe Louis Arena to get fans into the stands.
Lou GamelinGUEST
But, I mean, just the look and the way everything has turned out.
Lou GamelinGUEST
We don't know if we're going to have our second best defenseman in camp.
George BlahaGUEST
Yep
John KeatingHOST
... that like? And then go from, to, to the, uh, you, you, you had a handful of games at Joe Louis Arena, and then to The Palace, and then downtown to LCA.
George BlahaGUEST
Well, they made the best of it.
George BlahaGUEST
And I gotta give Tom Wilson some love here.
Craig BairdHOST
Gordie was also selected to play in the All-Star Game.
Craig BairdHOST
It would be played at the Joe Louis Arena in Detroit.
Craig BairdHOST
The crowd gave him two standing ovations, and eventually Gordie had to skate out to center ice to ask the crowd to stop cheering so the game could be played.
Craig BairdHOST
His final professional game would be played a few months later on April 11th, 1980.
Craig BairdHOST
And with that one game, he became the only person in hockey history to play in six different decades at the professional level.
Craig BairdHOST
He also received multiple honorary degrees, and in 2000 was inducted into Canada's Walk of Fame.
Craig BairdHOST
In 2007, he was honored with a statue outside Joe Louis Arena next to the Gordie Howe entrance.
Craig BairdHOST
Another statue was unveiled around that same time in downtown Saskatoon.
Mike ValentiHOST
My first Wings game was with my parents at Olympia when I was 10.
Mike ValentiHOST
Spent many amazing years watching Red Wings hockey from a luxury suite with my family in section 118 at The Joe.
Mike ValentiHOST
Okay.
