This is should be an easy one. Of course I would cheer for him, if he is on your favorite team, you are going to cheer for him.... Does anybody remember when Cheli got traded here? Nuff said.
Cameras under 80mm are allowed inside Joe Louis Arena on game day. Cameras with lenses that extend 80mm and detachable lenses over 80mm will not be allowed inside Joe Louis Arena on game day. Video cameras and flash photography are NOT allowed. But I would not worry about the flash part. They really don't care.
Autographs are hard to come by after the game. Your best bet is to wait outside by the Gordie Howe entrence/box office area and wait when the players drive by. There is a slim chance that somebody will stop but hey you do what you want. Players usually arrive early at the Joe.
Well the person who texted me the news is good friends with Jason. I doubt that they would lie about that. If you don't believe me thats fine but my source is very reliable.
Hockeytown Cafe is probably your best bet. They have an outdoor screen that you can watch by sitting on lawn chairs or inside they have theater that has a 10 foot screen projecting the game. But get their way early because it was full tonight and they were turning people away.... I would say get there around 4:30. Also they have a parking garage right next to the cafe. It will probably be about 15 bucks.
