Detroit — It's been two years now, and his Edmonton Oilers are among the elite teams in the NHL. The connection to the Red Wings' organization is growing more detached with each passing day.
But Ken Holland always will have a significant attachment to the Wings' organization, for all he did constructing a roster that made the playoffs 25 consecutive years and won four Stanley Cups.
Returning to Detroit always was going to be special, and Tuesday was no different, on a road trip that'll include a trip to Toronto this weekend where Holland will be inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame.
