Prolly not because those names aren't nearly as tacky. Ford is a great car company, quite possibly as quintessentially American as the sport of football itself. Comerica isn't as good, but it has america in the name so its ok. Little Caesars is gross. Can anyone on here actually remember the last time they at pizza from there? Lets remember also, this isn't just a name, you're promoting a product. And that product is as healthy as mcdonalds and coke. Not something I want my hockey team associated with. Unhealthy food like that is part of the down fall of this country.

Honestly, those are very large well respected companies and the names kind of work. United, Bell, ACC, TD sound respectable. Just the name little Caesars is a joke. You just don't put that on a building of large importance and then put the dumb logo of it on there. It's just tacky.

Juggarena

The problem is two fold. One, the Red Wings are better than playing in a corporate palace. Two, the company they have chosen as the corporate palace is embarrassing. Everyone will be making fun of it, and rightly so. This just takes another step for the Wings to become no better than the Predators or Hurricanes or Ducks in terms of respect and dignity. Just another hockey club. Its just sad to me. The only thing that saves them is if they don't put the stupid proposed logo on the roof and let it have the winged wheel all over. Other wise they will be a laughing stock. Because from the sounds of Holland, they sure won't be a strong contending team to counter balance the ridiculous name of their arena.

I agree totally. The Yankees, as much as I hate them, didn't have to stoop to the corporate dredges of naming their stadium. And one can only hope that eventually everyone calls it the new joe, like everyone calls AT&T stadium cowboys stadium even though its naming rights are corporate. Because that's what it is, Cowboys stadium. And that's what this should be, the new joe. Let's just all start calling it that and hope it catches on. I think maybe only the saddle dome is one of the last unique arenas left in hockey and I think they're getting a new one too right? This is the red wings, not the ducks, that play in a box called a Honda, or lightning playing in an oil bottle, or sharks playing in computer software application. The Red Wings of Detroit Rock City. Call it motor city arena or the Mo or something classy. Little frickin Caesars? Are you kidding me? I can't name a single person I know that eats or would admit eating that non food. It's only a half step up from McDonald's.

That thing is huge

What's that massive iPad they have sitting on the bench behind the coaches?

No, it means the preds are in the second round because their opponents coach was too inept to win a playoff series with a superior team. Meaning the preds are a far inferior team to their second round opponent.

Like I said, Sharks will roll the Preds. Preds will be lucky to win a game. The ducks lost because Bruce obviously is the most inept playoff coach I can think of. He dominates regular seasons and then doesn't realize the playoffs are different.

How is Ken Hitchcock that fat and a hockey coach? Dude is giant now.

What a laser shot that was. Had to see the super slow mo to figure out what side of the net it went in Blues defense breaking down.

I was really planning on going to a game the first season. Now? Nope. Not worth the trip to watch mediocrity in a pizza oven.

I told my gf about the name and she goes "they still make pizza?"

I hate to say it. But it seems as though the wings are going to be just another hockey team after this. The nostalgia and tradition will be gone into corpatism and salary caps

Literally the worst name for an arena right now. I thought Amalie arena was bad. Named after oil. But I can see the commercials now: Arena! Rena! Immediately makes me think of fight club: "When deep space exploration ramps up, it'll be the corporations that name everything, the IBM Stellar Sphere, the Microsoft Galaxy, Planet Starbucks."

I really think helm has digressed. He's fast, But that's about it. He was non existent the last two playoffs. Remember that time he killed off a 4 minute penalty almost by himself in the playoffs? Where's that guy?

Jarnkrok? He had 30 points this year. Better than glendending helm Richards and Sheahan

Preds will get eaten by the Sharks. No way they have an answer for that team. Sharks stars cf should be interesting.

Nasty backhand

Lightning lost

Pay the man

Right? It's like they're trying to rush into the second round to keep from finishing at the same time as basketball like they did last year.

Oh, and look who's playing D for the isles in the second round. Zidlicky

Why does the islanders goalie have the Golden Gate Bridge on his mask Im going to refer to this post later when Tampa gets bounced in 5
