Why I'm seeing the Vegas Golden Knights play the Detroit Red Wings on March 16

It offers a chance to see where the Red Wings stand now

Nowadays, the Detroit Red Wings are a far cry from their dominant days of the 1990s and 2000s. Chris Ilitch is now running the team and they're looking to return to the Stanley Cup playoffs for the first time since 2016. Ironically, the Vegas Golden Knights made their first postseason appearance in 2018, setting off six appearances in seven seasons. That included two Stanley Cup Final appearances and a championship.

The good news for Red Wings fans is Steve Yzerman, who's now the general manager, has a plan to bring the Stanley Cup back to Hockeytown. With big names such as Dylan Larkin, Patrick Kane, and Alex DeBrincat, fans could see an octopus renaissance in the Motor City. But that could also mean running into the Golden Knights in the Stanley Cup Final, who want to bring the treasured trophy back to T-Mobile Arena.

The original Toy Story saw Andy grow up with his two favorite toys, Woody and Buzz. After each passing movie, Andy grows older and goes to college. He passed that love for Woody and Buzz to a young girl named Bonnie. Yet he still loved and cared for them, cherishing the memories. In essence, moving from metro Detroit to Las Vegas might be different from a hockey perspective. But March 16 will be similar to Andy's "Toy Story", for the childhood memories will be alive and well at Little Caesar's Arena.
