Yup, it’s August alright. With nothing relevant to discuss in the Red Wings world, aside from the Grand Rapids Griffins’ schedule being released this afternoon, I figured I’d take a minute for something fun. Building on an idea from Nightmare on Helm Street (which is always a fun read), which published an article about a […]
