How one picture captured who Ted Lindsay was to Detroit Red Wings

A look back at the epic career of Detroit Red Wings great Ted Lindsay, who died Monday at age 93. Ryan Ford, Detroit Free Press

In the Detroit Red Wings’ dressing room at Joe Louis Arena, the team had a great tradition. Above each player’s locker, a picture of one of the team’s legendary players was mounted. The pictures served as a reminder that the eyes of the greatest players, from one of hockey’s greatest franchises, gazed upon them.

But one picture was much different from the rest. It was my favorite and whenever I walked into the dressing room, I always smiled when I saw it.
