Maybe it's a new gimmick. Maybe it's an attempt to stand out. Maybe the team is just trying to get people talking.
But fans who attend Little Caesars Arena for Red Wings hockey will now notice that the lights go out after a Red Wings goal, with the spotlights swirling around.
Robby Fabbri gets his 7th goal of the season to get the Wings on the board!

I mean, of course, the Red Wings have one of the worst offenses in hockey, so it likely won't be happening much.
But it's definitely different, as not a single other NHL team does this after the home team scores a goal. Do you like these new special effects?
