Red Wings Take Break from Camp to Support Tigers’ Playoff Push

Date:

As the Tigers look to push for an improbable, a group of Red Wings took advantage of a free preseason afternoon to hop across Woodward Ave and lend their support at Comerica Park.  A group of Red Wings including Michiganders Dylan Larkin, Andrew Copp, Tyler Motte and Alex DeBrincat, as well as the newly inked Moritz Seider and Lucas Raymond, enjoyed Tuesday afternoon’s game with the Rays from a box together.

A few hours earlier, coach Derek Lalonde—himself a western New Yorker by birth—expressed his enthusiasm for the sports synergy he’s found in his adopted home town of Detroit.

“I sound like a broken record when it comes to the [Detroit] sports,” Lalonde said after today’s two practices concluded.  “Very excited today because my Buffalo Bills looked really good [last night], so I had a little more jump in my step in the locker room.  Bills are in a good spot because Patrick Kane [from Buffalo] was half on board.  I asked him to be more invested this year, so no surprise we’re 3-0.  Of course, I watched the Lions.  They’ve made me fans [sic].  Obviously, Detroit is personal.  We share the same ownership [with the Tigers].  Even some internal growth and beliefs in approaching some things.  It’s been pretty cool what they’ve done.  I like the Tigers.  I lost my baseball team, the Expos, back in the day, so I’ve kinda been a free agent, and that logo D is tough not to like.  It’s been fun to watch.”
