Marcus Reid
Marcus has been watching hockey obsessively since he was old enough to stay up for West Coast games. Based in Detroit, he's followed the Red Wings through every era and developed a deep interest in the defensive and goaltending side of the game that most coverage overlooks. He writes with the detail of someone who has watched the same shift ten times - because he has.
