The rest of the Detroit Red Wings may be in Traverse City focussing on training camp but forward Justin Abdelkader is focused on something much more important, the birth of his son.
On Saturday, Abdelkader tweeted out a photo of his newborn, Jaxon Joseph and it is absolutely adorable!
Congrats to Justin and his wife Julie!

You may remember, back in November of 2016, Abdelkader and his then-girlfriend Julie Leshkevich got engaged at center ice of Joe Louis Arena.

On Saturday, Martinez and the Tigers were in Cleveland for what very well could be his final game in front of Indians’ fans and to say things got a little emotional would be an understatement.

Golden Tate has message for ‘booing’ Detroit Lions’ fans
After a long offseason, Detroit Lions’ fans could not wait a second longer for the 2018 NFL season to finally kick off. When it did, it only took one play (not including the opening kickoff) for the Lions to take a 7-0 lead as the crowd at Ford Field went absolutely bonkers in support of their team.
Unfortunately, things went south quickly for the Lions in all aspects of the game and when all was said and done, they had lost 48-17 against a Jets team that was not supposed to be very good.
On multiple occasions during the game, many of the Lions fans in attendance at Ford Field could be heard booing their team. As the game went on and the Jets pulled further and further away, the boos just became louder and louder. That is until many Lions fans decided to head home early to avoid further pain.
