Special Episode- The Ted Lindsay Interview


Listen Later

The Detroit Red Wings 100th season will begin soon, so The Detroit History Podcast team thought we'd revisit an interview we did 7 years ago with Detroit Red Wings all-time-great Ted Lindsay. Lindsay was a key part of the 1950s Detroit Red Wings teams that won several Stanley Cups, and was on the same line as Gordie Howe and Sid Abel, a line that Detroit media dubbed "The Production Line." On February 22nd, 2018, a little over a year before Ted Lindsay passed away at age 93, we sat down with the NHL Hall of Famer and talked about his hockey career. Reporters Bill McGraw and Bill Dow joined us for the interview. Although Lindsay was named "Terrible Ted" on the ice, he was an extraordinarily kind and thoughtful man off the ice. He had an old school hockey mentality about him that isn't around much today, as witnessed by his quote "there were 6'2 guys in the league, 6'3, they'd bleed the same as I do." This interview was part of the sixth episode of our first season "They Bleed The Same As I Do, The Detroit Red Wings in the 1950s."
