The grainy, black and white highlights tell the story. On one of the most talented teams in hockey history, the guy wearing No. 4 for the Detroit Red Wings dominates play. His passes are tape to tape. He jumps into the holes and is unchecked as the late man on the rush. He has a bullet of a shot. He always seems to come away with the puck in battles along the boards and in the corners, and he foils the opposition when they attempt to get past him.

The only thing the old footage can't show is the striking red hair on top of his head, matching the red sweater he wore in the first part of his remarkable career. It was why everyone called Leonard Patrick Kelly "Red."
