Today is April fools day; a day I personally can’t stand in the sports and news world. People get a kick out of tricking you into believing fake news is real and waiting eagerly for your reaction after you realize you’ve been hoaxed. What I will write is an article expressing a transaction surrounding the Detroit Red Wings I wish were not April Fools joke.

For me, it doesn’t do anything for me so I for one won’t write out some April fools joke as click bait. If I published an article headlined “Detroit Red Wings fire Ken Holland, Yzerman seen meeting with Chris Ilitch.”  People would click with hope until they wasted three-minutes of their life reading a fabricated, fake article just to get to the bottom and seeing the header “April Fools.”

The Wings have been surging of late in a time where losing would be more beneficial to the future of the franchise they suddenly seemingly can’t lose. The top line of Dylan Larkin, Anthony Mantha and Tyler Bertuzzi are scorching hot, and that bodes well for the future of the Detroit Red Wings. With complimentary players like Taro Hirose, Joeseph Veleno, Filip Hronek, Dennis Cholowski and Filip Zadina all potentially growing into high-end role players or more the Detroit Red Wings are in excellent shape.

Anthony Mantha is coming off of a 3 goals, 5 point performance last night at home against the Boston Bruins. Mantha is in the midst of a five-game point streak where he’s scored 5 goals and added 7 assists totaling 12 points. Tyler Bertuzzi has recorded three straight 3-point games for the Detroit Red Wings and a four-game point streak that’s seen him score 3 goals and 7 assists totaling 10 points.
