On the DEWLine 2.0: Dwight Williams

Apparently, this is the anniversary of what some in North American pro hockey might call the most blessed meeting in the history of the sport, and others, the most damned meeting in its history. At the Windsor Hotel in Montréal, four team owners decided to screw over a fifth in abandoning the National Hockey Association in favour of founding the NHL as we've come to know it today. According to the Globe and Mail.

Remember this entry from 2016?

Can anyone tell me how that petition worked out re: Detroit's next NHL rink?

I understand the Red Wings are moving out of Joe Louis Arena, which is then scheduled for demolition. The successor name is currently set to be named Little Caesar's Arena, after the US-based pizza chain.

This does not sit at all well with me.

Come on, Detroit. You know what the right name for that rink ought to be.

Gordie Howe Memorial Arena.

Don't mess this up. Please.

Yes, I'm grovelling here.

Update: I'm reading about the petition already underway on this issue. Thank you kindly. 

Today, hockey fen in Canada - particularly in Winnipeg - got some long-awaited good news. A perceived injustice lasting fifteen years has now been put to rights, or so they hope and celebrate.

Today, hockey fen in the States - particularly in Atlanta - got some long-feared bad news. And in their case, it's not the first time such news got delivered to their doorstep.

Let's show a bit of respect for the people who had to pay for our dreams coming true with the loss of some of theirs. They've put a lot into building first the Flames and then the Thrashers, after all.
