It was a defeat that will go down as one of the worst in Detroit Red Wings history.
The club was picked apart by the Montreal Canadiens in a 10-1 drumming, a game that had captain Henrik Zetterberg in disgust.
"You basically embarrassed everyone that played with a winged wheel tonight, and we’ve got to live with that," Zetterberg said, according to Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press.
The last time Detroit lost a game by 9 goals or more was 1986 vs Gretzky’s Oilers.

"I’ve played professional hockey for 20 years, I don’t think I’ve ever been a part of anything like what happened here tonight," he added.
The 10 goals were the most allowed by the Red Wings in a game since March 30, 2011, when they lost 10-3 to the St. Louis Blues, according to St. James.
