Chelios thinks Def Leppard's Joe Elliot purposely put the Cup upside down. To me it seems reasonable he knew what he was doing.
I agree an American or Canadian band should've been invited. Who knows maybe the League tried, but couldn't get anybody else.
Anyway if Elliott did it on purpose, he's an ass. If not, who cares. I mean he didn't shit in the Cup like Draper's kid did. Oh and he didn't drop it like Chelios did.
A case for #91 in the rafters?, Ted Lindsay
Some Red Wings fans still think Sergei Fedorov's 91 should be retired. Then somebody posted some Wings players didn't want him back. While not players, this example I provided was close enough in my opinion. The writer mentioned brain trust. To me a team's captain or its alternates could be considered that.

Again, it's a safe assumption to suggest that, had Babcock been the only one to object to the trade, he would have been asked to reconsider. There was apparently some sort of consensus in the room that several people had major concerns about bringing Fedorov back to Detroit, and in all likelihood, the concerns were related to both Fedorov's on-ice performance and the substantial off-ice distractions that Fedorov faced during his later years as a Wing.
Fedorov's 91 shouldn't be raised to the rafters.
3rd Jersey?, Thoughts on a 3rd for the Wings
Some Red Wings fans want the organization do have a third jersey. Some even say adding black would be good.
The Wings don't need a third jersey. Maybe when attendance really fails or if the team goes into a funk again. That's when it should be done.
Black jerseys suck balls.
That said. I'd buy this coat set-up, but there's too much black. I won't buy it.
Fuck, we're not the Devils nor the Hurricanes!
Wings arena
A poster was asking for a panoramic view of The Joe Louis Arena, and wanted to know when it opened.
There was one on NHL.com last night.

NHL back on ESPN?
According to a linked Q & A on sportsnet.ca a poster infers that the NHL could be back on ESPN again.
ESPN's past record speaks for itself. The four-letter treated the League like shit. Yes, the League needs more exposure, but it won't get it from the Mickey Mouse networks. The players, fans, and others who do think a renewed ESPN - NHL relationship would be a good thing are wrong.
Bars, hotels, cable companies, etc. that don't have Versus are in the dark ages. The pressure needs to be put on them to get Versus.
A personal example: I stayed at a hotel recently, and it didn't have Versus nor Fox Sports. I told hotel management they need to get it. It'll affect my future decisions in staying with that chain.
