Here’s a video that will be of interest to our Canadian readers (and, if my math is correct, our 7 American readers who like hockey): Def Leppard played the opening night of the NHL season, and when handed the Stanley Cup by the Red Wings’ Darren McCarty and Kyle Quincey, frontman Joe Elliott put it upside down on a table. Elliott defended himself by saying he watches football, and had no idea which part of the cup should be on the bottom. Unless he is fond of structurally unsound trophies, that explanation makes no sense.

But what makes even less sense is that Def Leppard, a band most relevant 25 years ago, were chosen to open the season for the NHL, a league that was most relevant 25 years ago, but is trying to make a comeback. I know Gary Bettman doesn’t care about marketing or if fans actually watch about the game anymore, but couldn’t they have gotten someone without an obvious wig and a 50-year-old’s paunch? [Idolator]
