C’Mon C’Mon C’Mon

So Def Leppard is going to rock out and play the NHL’s official season opener (sorry Rangers) in Detroit tonight. Def Leppard. I liked these guys a lot when I lived in the 80s. But wait, the NHL has a little 90s juice in there, too, with Alanis Morissette (a Canadian!) playing via a live feed from Montreal. So, to review - the NHL selected Def Leppard and Alanis Morissette over pretty much any relevant current band. The NFL has been doing it for years. Now the NHL has its own piece of the lameness.
C’Mon C’Mon C’Mon. I fear the song is going to live in my head for a while. Crap.

The Isles are going with the 90’s vibe - Seven Mary Three (of “Cumbersome” fame) will be performing at the home opener. I’d take Def Leppard over those guys…

I’d say the Isles got royally screwed on that one. Still, Seven Mary Three has to be better than American Idol alumn and Islander fan Kevin Covais, right?

The powers that be got rid of Glitter because fans were chanting “YOU SUCK” after the Hey. Because quasi-offensive chants from the crowd are our biggest concern. I can’t stand this one myself. Hopefully it doesn’t last too long.

The fact that Glitter is a convicted pedophile didn’t help matters either.
re: Seven Mary Three - Was Candlebox booked this weekend?
