“The episodes in life that last so many years in memory are often measured in fleeting moments as they happen.”
When the Red Wings won Game Six over the Penguins on June 4, 2008 to win the Stanley Cup, Doc Emrick commemorated the occasion with these words.
They were not original to Emrick, however, as he was quoting the late Patriot-News writer Steve Summers. I can’t think of a better tribute to an arena that has built so many lasing memories for its fans.
Today, April 9th, will mark the end of several streaks: The end of Red Wings games being played at Joe Louis Arena.
