No. 16 isn’t just an empty jersey in Detroit—it’s a living reminder of Vladimir Konstantinov’s sacrifice and spirit. When a young Red Wings player recently asked, “Who’s the guy in the wheelchair?” it wasn’t just a question about the past; it was a powerful moment of passing the torch. Konstantinov’s story—his grit, his tragedy, and his ongoing presence—still shapes what it means to wear the Winged Wheel. It’s not about stats or banners, but about the soul behind the sweater. How do you think teams should honor legends whose stories risk fading with time? #Sports #IceHockey #RedWings
