Detroit — The NFL season began for real over the weekend, so you know hockey can’t be far behind.
And it’s not.
The Red Wings open training camp later this week: physicals Thursday, followed by first on-ice workout the next day, and the first exhibition game — believe it or not — is Sept. 17 against Chicago.
For the Wings to prove numerous analysts who are predicting another playoff-less season wrong, there will need to be some big individual seasons.
There are many Wings who fall into that category.
