I would love to see a picture if anyone has one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DyingAlive 27 Report post Posted October 10, 2008 The NHL picked an english band, why? Honestly, this European expansion idea is getting ridiculous. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Never_Retire_Steve 35 Report post Posted October 10, 2008 NHL marketing brains at work: Hmmmm......... Detroit won the cup..... let's have a North American bash in Detroit!! Makes perfect sense. Let's get a rock band! Hockey is a rough/tough sport, let's get someone who rocks! Let's see...... we need something hip with a lot of current relevant hits...... hmmmm....... a band who also knows a lot about hockey....... I KNOW!!!!! Brittish band........DEF LEPPARD!!! Normal marketing brains at work: Hey let's kick off the season to a bang...... Let's kick it off in Detroit, hey I saw Kid Rock rink side at nearly every game last year...... has Yzerman in some of his song lyrics..... I'm sure he would be honored to do it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cern 0 Report post Posted October 10, 2008 I like how people can't spew out enough overexaggerated BS about a single freaking hockey game yet this is almost entirely left uncommented. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest LivingtheDream Report post Posted October 11, 2008 The curse won't be on Detroit, it will be on Def Lepoard who might all flame out in a band plane crash.
