Top 5 American players in Red Wings history



To celebrate the fourth of July we are going to take a look back at the top 5, in no particular order, American players in Red Wings history. Chris Chelios and Reed Larson are slam dunks having played a decade each with Detroit, but after that? Who knows. Tenures are often short and have varying degrees of success. Do any current Red Wings make the list? #LGRW

    Excellent list. I started watching the Red Wings as a kid when Reed Larson and John Ogrodnick were on the dead wings. Reed Larson was a beast. Not only great offensively, but great defensively as well. He blocked a lot of shots back in the days when guys didn’t really do that much. Brian Rafalski was another great defenseman. Kind of underappreciated nowadays. Doug Brown scored some clutch goals for us in the playoffs. In 2002, when Canada won the gold in USA won the silver, at the end of the game when everyone left the ice, Steve Yzerman, Brendan Shanahan, Chris, Chelios, and Brett Hull Stood arm and arm at Center ice to take a picture . I knew right then and there we were going to win the cup that year.

    Also, too bad that Modano suffered that horrible injury where skate blade slashed his wrist if I recall properly. If that didn’t happen, I think he could’ve played a couple of years with us.

    Gentlemen.. Let me tell you about Reed Larson.. Dude could do it all.. Score, set up goals, fight.. But the most memorable Reed Larson trait was his absolute CANNON of a shot! I was at a game, I think at the Joe, against LA… Rogie Vachon in net.. Larson let's a shot go from center ice.. Vachob never moved.. Never saw it… Another quick story… Larson was given a penalty shot and he decided to wind up from the circle and let one rip.. Didn't score on that.. Met him a few times in the Olymoia room.. Super nice guy.. HUGE j hands

    Not sure if you compare "apples to apples" when you compare points between Reed Larson, who was a defenseman, and Larkin being a forward.
