This is funny from both sides perspectives.
I’m on the fence on signing Kane, but now I want him to be in a Wings jersey for this.
What a wild turn of events for a Pearl Jam concert
Chelios should wear a Wings jersey to the ceremony. Can you imagine the pandemonium that would ensue?
I’m ok with that. I fucking hate chicago but the man is a legit legend and was GREAT for Detroit. It’s ok to be loved by 2 cities.
Those motherfuckers. I wish we still had the pull that I could credibly threaten to shove these nerds into lockers, but alas.
They gonna raise a Wings jersey?
Anyone see the criteria the Hawks have for jersey retirement now?
Fascinating the guidelines they have
Patrick Kane on the ice in a Red Wings jersey that night would be exciting!
I was 8 when he came to Detroit. I can’t think of a time when I see him as a Blackhawk. I know he was, but my sports brain cant see him anywhere but Detroit.
I get it but didn’t he actually play a little longer for the Wings then The Hawks?
Well shit there go the ticket prices to this game…
I think it shows some class on the B-hawks part. I know, hard to believe huh? Seeing as how Chellie won two Cups with us. I wonder if the Wings would now consider hanging CC’s number in the rafters at the LCA? He’s got the HOF, Cups, Awards?
Hell yea. I’m going to be at this game.
I can’t wait until Cheli shows up in a wings jersey 😂
I’m kidding but I love how Cheli did a complete 180 on Detroit after coming here and seeing how awesome the city is.
