Hockeytown

At last Sunday's match up down at the Joe against the Philladelphia Flyers (who else thinks this could be a possible SC final?), the organization held a moment of silence for Red Wings Alumni Carl Liscombe. He died in Hawaii at the age of 89. He died of Leukemia. He was signed to the Red Wings when he was just 18 years old, but did not actually play for them untill one and a half yeas later. He was a member of the red and white for his entire carreer (something wich rarely happens thses days), which lasted 9 seasons. I may not have been around that long ago to see him play, but I want to pay my respects to a member of the greatest American hockey franchise in history.

P.S.
Read a story where I got some (okay, most) of the stats and other info I used in this article at this website:

nice story, good of the Wings to remember a player like that. Hockey was a different game back then, but society was different to.

it is a loss for all wings fans. i was at the game when they recognized him. though he seemed to have a fullfilling life, he lived to be 89 and died in hawaii it is a sad time for all of hockeytown
