In Red Wings Land
In 25th season together, Ken Kal, Paul Woods share passion for Red Wings, broadcasting | Detroit News
Simply put, they love doing what they do.
“I still get excited about calling hockey games,” said Kal, hours before the Wings faced the Boston Bruins last week. “When they’re (the Wings) winning, it’s great. But even when they’re not winning games, I love broadcasting hockey games. Every game is different, you never know what is going to happen, and it’s just exciting for me, to get in the booth and start describing the action.”
Ken Kal rules and absolutely deserves any praise and attention that is thrown his way. Between him and Ken Daniels, Red Wings fans are pretty fortunate to have such great play-by-play voices on the TV and radio broadcasts.

Call it the Robby Fabbri effect. The Red Wings have turned things around with three straight wins. This is a prime opportunity for another new addition — Brendan Perlini — to get his career back on track. He’s scoreless in seven games.
The Wings are rising up the rankings.
