from NHL.com,
The National Hockey League (NHL) will launch the 2008-09 season with NHL Face-Off Rocks™ 2008, an opening day spectacular headlined by the world’s greatest arena rock band, Def Leppard, on Thursday, Oct. 9. The multi-platinum selling rock band will open the night with a special performance of their arena-inspired hit single, “C’mon, C’mon” from Fox Theatre in Detroit, followed by the raising of the Detroit Red Wings’ 2008 Stanley Cup Championship banner prior to the start of their sold-out home opener against the Toronto Maple Leafs at Joe Louis Arena.

Hmm, Poison is touring and Whitesnake was unavailable? Is that it?
Another slam dunk from the NHL marketing team.

Give them credit. They could have brought in Great White for a new Detroit “Fire on Ice” season. Would have been a real barn burner.

Or Ratt, Cinderella, Quiet Riot, Krokus…

Gabriel - You know I wanted to reference them before I realized that would sound mean. Good to know I wasn’t the only one!

Mike…it’s funny…I actually hesitated for a second before posting that. But then I figured, it’s time for the country to laugh at Great White again.
Like we did before the fire.
