The Detroit Red Wings are set to retire Sergei Fedorov's iconic No. 91 jersey on Monday night, finally closing a chapter marked by both brilliance and past discord. Fedorov's tenure with the Red Wings saw him emerge as a dominant two-way forward, instrumental in securing three Stanley Cup championships and earning the 1994 Hart Trophy.
Fedorov's relationship with the organization was strained by contract disputes, most notably after the 2002 Stanley Cup win when he left for Anaheim. This departure deeply affected the team, which valued loyalty. Detroit fans initially reacted with boos upon his return.
However, time and Fedorov's own expressed regret over his departure have paved the way for this reconciliation. The current team leadership initiated the honor, signifying a full circle for the superstar and acknowledging his profound impact on the franchise's history.
