h00dlum leads the “Let’s Go Red Wings” chant

I remember sometime last season one of the writers for one of the two major Detroit papers interviewed Jiri Hudler. One of the questions Hudler was asked was what was the best thing about living in Detroit and Hudler said “being a Detroit Red Wing”. The reporter replied that the response was cute but Hudler immediately replied that it was the truth. Does Hudler enjoy being a Detroit Red Wing? Let’s check out the video and see:

I immediately thought back to that interview after watching this clip of Hudler speaking in front of the parade crowd at Hart Plaza. Mickey Redmond has given him the nickname Happy and is there any doubt the name fits the diminutive winger?
