It was an optional skate on Sunday at Joe Louis Arena. So optional that a grand total of four Red Wings (and two children) hit the ice. Here, Todd Bertuzzi battles for the puck with his son Tag.

I haven’t seen a replay of this moment from the second period last night but after Justin Abdelkader sent Phoenix’ Zbynek Michalek into Detroit’s bench it looks like Mike Babcock is fortunate to have his head still on his shoulders this morning.
