Redmond's 50th Goal: A Detroit Red Wings Milestone

0:00On March 27th, on March 27th, 1973, Mickey Redmond made history with the Detroit Redwings. He became the first player in franchise history to score 50 goals in a single season. That night, he hit the mark during a game against the Toronto Maple Leafs. Heading into the match-up, Redmond already had 49 goals on the season. No Redwings skater had ever reached 50 before, putting him on the edge of something special in a heated rivalry game. The feet stood out because only six other NHL players had scored 50 goals up to that point. Redmond later shared he might not have even seen the puck across the line, but accounted all the same. These days, Redmond serves as the Redwings' color commentator, bringing his playing day stories to fans from the broadcast booth. That milestone from over 50 years ago remains a highlight in Detroit Hockey Lore, reminding us of the legends who paved the way.
