Words cannot describe... Little rumors floating around Tigers may be sold to Gilbert and focus to remain on Wings...

It's not too late to rename the arena to The Ilitch Centre of Entertainment Arena. The ICE Arena....

Thank you Mr. I. This city and fans will never be able to properly repay your investment in the city, it's teams and it's fans. It goes beyond hockey or baseball. When GM and Chrysler went bankrupt and the world was laughing at Detroit you proudly put all the Big 3 logos out in centerfield to show the world right back, Detroit is ONE, win lose draw or otherwise. He loved his city and did something about that.

You got excited lol.

R.I.P. I just hope his children can be serious about this organization and forget about some baseball team. The Wings deserve to have owners who care about the team.

...For the city of Detroit, State of Michigan and the sport of hockey!

Mike Illitch is the main person responsible for some of the greatest memories of my childhood. Thank you Mike for everything you did for the Red Wings, you will be missed, but never forgotten.

Thank you, Mr. I for great hockey generation! I bet in another camp, another rumor have it wings will be sold to focus on Tigers, pizza lovers club have both teams sold to focus on, well, pizza...

His son Chris has been running the family business(s) for a while now. So nothing will really change besides the world being short one more great man.

RIP Mr I. The city of Detroit benefited from his tireless efforts. Thank you for the 4 Stanley Cups I got to witness first hand. He will be missed.

Didn't even get to see his arena finished RIP Mr. Ilitch, you were the illest owner in all of sport

From 1994...The Pizza Dome, eh? Has a very nice ring to it. It's now my official nickname for Little Caesar Arena.

They should cremate him and mix a little of his ashes in some cement at the new arena.

If Holland stays, flips this roster, makes 7 good trades, drafts brilliantly and we win the cup in 2019 somehow it would be all because of Scotty Bowman.

This is weird. I'm not proud to say this, but a couple of games ago I watched Ericsson throw the puck up the sideboards, blind, and turn it over for about the 3,000,000th time and I thought to myself, "why doesn't HE ever get hurt?". And then he did. It was purely out of frustration at having to watch him needlessly throw the puck away over and over and over. Now, I'm not saying I am or am not happy about this. But I am saying that I've probably got superpowers.

Good news. We can get him back during the Conference Finals...............................between two other teams.

This is the problem coming from this injury. Playing the youth is all good but we need guys to lead and teach them. I read today that Kronner is coming back. Didn't think that I would take that as a positive but he will be needed anchoring a this defense this young.

A legend, role model, and hero to the city of Detroit and the world of hockey. You'll be sorely missed by many Mike.

A very sad day for Wings and Tigers fans but the city of Detroit just lost a vital part of it's soul. He will never be forgotten!

He couldn't bare to see the streak end.... Perhaps I shall bring home a hot n ready tonight on my way home from work. Sad sad sad

Or Mrazek gets traded

Thank you Mr. I! We Love You!
