I don’t know exactly how to start an article like this. There aren’t enough adjectives in the English language to describe a legend, gentleman, kind hearted, warrior on the ice, saint off the ice, courageous player like former Detroit Red Wings superstar Ted Lindsay. This is the type of article I would normally enjoy writing, but the circumstances this particular time are unfortunate. Before I get into all of Ted Lindsay’s accolades, I’d like to share a personal story from the gritty, gifted left-winger.
I woke up yesterday, and the first thing my wife said to me before I could even have a cup of joe; Ted Linsday died.
