Of all the weird-ass posts you have made, this might be the weirdest one yet.
Very sad news. The Illitch family is one of the faces of hockey ownership, and are very proud owners of the wings. One of my favorite hockey memores is Steve Yezerman passing Mike the cup. The man lived, breathed, and worshiped hockey. He was responsible for some of the greatest teams that were put together in NHL history.
I don't know if the's in the HOF yet, but he definitely should be.
