READ: Red Wings release statement on Ted Lindsay
The National Hockey League exists as it is today, in part, because of Lindsay. He was on the famed "Production Line" and made the Olympia the hallowed hockey barn it became.
Lindsay was so ferocious on the ice that penalties were invented because of his play -- elbowing, kneeing, etc. He spent a lot of time in the penalty box, and he was a tough guy on the ice. He was also beloved for what he did off the ice.
Born Robert Blake Theodore Lindsay, his statue is a fixture in Little Caesars Arena.
His No. 7 was retired by the Red Wings in 1991. It hangs from the rafters at Little Caesars Arena with Howe's No. 9 and Abel's No. 12.
