Fun fact: Detroit gets its name from the French word détroit, which means strait, which is a narrow body of water connecting two other bodies of water.

That’s not to be confused with Streit, which is the last name of Mark Streit, a Swiss guy who used to play for the Canadiens, who play in Montreal, where they speak French, just like the word détroit.
Mark Streit probably speaks French better than me, who took five years of high school French but panicked when trying to use that French to order a coffee at a Tim Hortons in Montreal ten-something years ago.
Mon dieu, etc.
(As a brief aside, I didn’t know Mark Streit was in the IIHF Hall of Fame, so that’s good for him.)
Anyways, that’s enough foreign language discussion. It’s time for hockey!
If you liked watching the Bruins play that team they played on Saturday night, boy, do I have some good news for you.
Bruins! Red Wings! This time, in Michigan!
