This shitty Oregon dive bar was supposedly visited by Red Wings players in the last 35 years and they drunkenly signed a stick which was later mounted. Anyone have an idea on who and when?



First off, hello from a VGK fan! We never interact as fanbases in any significant way so… well I guess hello. Anyway, this garbage dive in Oregon has a claim to fame that at some point in the last 35 years some Red Wings players came in for some bizarre reason, had a cool time, signed a stick, and it was later mounted. I call bullshit on most of this but figured you fellas would be able to access your deep lore and confirm or deny this nonsense.

    Not sure if it’s real, but on the blade of the stick, #20 in that era would be Martin Lapointe. The signature is sloppy drunk but it does vaguely resemble the stuff I found online from him.

  2. That is indeed Martin Lapointe’s autograph. The “97” in the middle of the stick is the first of their back-to-cups in 1997 and 1998, so I’m guessing it was around 1997.

    In the 4th pic, the one at the end that says “To Scotty’s thanks for all the beer” looks to me like Greg Adams, who wore #20 in the 88/89 season. That was before my watching days, though, so take that with a grain of salt.

    Lol is it in Tigard? My attorney lives a few blocks from that bar.
