Red Wings fans will never forget this game at Joe Louis Arena

For almost 40 years, the Detroit Red Wings called Joe Louis Arena home. After opening its doors in the winter of 1979, "The Joe" quickly became one of the most iconic venues in all of hockey.

The Red Wings said goodbye to Joe Louis Arena in 2017, but its legacy lives forever in the hearts of Red Wings fans. One game in particular stands out from the rest.

The final game at Joe Louis Arena was played on April 9, 2017 when the Red Wings hosted the New Jersey Devils. The Red Wings were victorious, winning by a score of 4-1.
