Marty Barry 230 Report post Posted March 7, 2010 No, she died last year. That is the worst thing I've heard in a while. God bless her. Her image became just as synonymous with Red Wing hockey to me as Al. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yea I heard the knitting lady died too. As for Moe Cheese, I thought I saw him in October '09 against Colorado? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MTU_Huskies963 398 Report post Posted March 7, 2010 Wow why all the hate for MO cheese. Even other arenas respect what he does. Been to a lot of Leaf's games at Maple leaf Garden and Air Canada Centre. Even with their hate for Detroit they still give him a round of applause. Do you really expect him to pose for a picture?

oldredbarnman 13 Report post Posted March 7, 2010 RIP. Who is the brow? and the orange hat guy? "Orange Hat Guy" is Kenny, and he's been a Red Wings season ticket holder since I believe 1972. He sits in section 112 or 113, and is very easy to find because of the knit hat he wears. Joe Diroff, a.k.a. "The Brow" was a school teacher, and a big Red Wing's booster back in the 1980s. Now I'm sure he was a fan long before then, but that's when I remember seeing him. He had very bushy eyebrows, hence the name. He was a nice guy, and would get the crowd going with his "Strawberry Shortcake" cheer. STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE GOOSEBERRY PIE V-I-C-T-O-R-Y!!! He also had ketchup and mustard bottles with him, and would yell out,"You know why they(opposing team) won't ketchup? Because they can't cut the mustard." Joe would welcome the team home at the airport, at all hours of the night. Everybody loved "The Brow". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
