1. The Red Wings said goodbye to "The Joe" in style on Sunday night.
The final game ever played by Joe Louis Arena was a 4-1 Detroit victory over the New Jersey Devils.
After 38 years in "The Joe," the Red Wings are moving into a new downtown arena next season.
Red Wings forward Gustav Nyquist said he had goose bumps when he saw thousands gathered to greet the team three hours before the puck dropped. During the game, fans sang both longer and louder than usual, singing beyond the end of the music.
Fans also tossed 31 octopuses on the ice during the game, a practice that has long been a Detroit tradition. Fans in attendance got to take home a piece of history in the form of a commemorative hockey stick and a certificate that says there were in attendance at the final game.

The governor's office estimates that the program will cost the state $163 million.
5. Ford announced the development of a crib that simulates driving.
It's called the "Max Motor Dreams," a crib that simulates the motion, engine noise and even street lighting of those nighttime drives, right from the comfort of home.
The crib was designed for Ford as part of an ad campaign to promote its max line of cars.
The car company is holding a raffle for the crib, but ford says it is considering mass producing it due to popular demand.
