15. Farewell to Joe Louis Arena
The stairs, the pizza, the banners. There was no other arena like Joe Louis Arena. April 9, 2017 would be the final NHL game played there. After scoring 0 goals in his first 79 games of the season, Riley Sheahan had 2 goals in a 4-1 win over the New Jersey Devils. His second goal of the game would be the final goal ever scored at Joe Louis Arena. The Red Wings had an all time regular season record of 827-432-195 (.635 win %) and hoisted the Stanley Cup twice there in 1997 and 2002.
