While I was on vacay last week to the Mother Land, I was lucky enough to attend a Kid Rock concert at the new Little Ceasar's Arena in Detroit.  Let me tell you how AMAZING this place is!!!  There was just enough of the old (statues of Alex Delvecchio and Gordie Howe etc) and the new (Stevie Y, Nik Lidstrom etc)  The place is beyond state of the art!

The Ilitch family spent a pretty penny to keep my beloved Wings downtown and now the Pistons will be sharing the Arena for basketball!!  For about the last 35 yrs the Pistons have played in the suburbs far north of the city.  

Ford Field (Lions) Comerica (Tigers) and LCA (Red Wings and Pistons) are now walking distance from each other along with many restaurants (Hockeytown Cafe, my personal fav)  

The NHL channel showed the Wings first pre season game there last Saturday night, it was so awesome!!!
And that is not to mention how great the Kid Rock concert was, Yes, he did play our Journey song!!!

@redwingsgal  thanks so much for the info about where the teams play.  It was very interesting.  I didn't know any of that. Thanks for sharing!

A third-period comeback wasn't enough, as the Nashville Predators fell 4-3 to the Columbus Blue Jackets in preseason action on Thursday night at Bridgestone Arena. The result gives the Preds a 2-3-0 record through five games of the exhibition schedule that is set to conclude Saturday night.

Although the score might suggest otherwise, it wasn't a stellar showing from the home team, and Head Coach Peter Laviolette wasn't pleased with what he saw from his team in their penultimate preseason contest.

We need to get it together soon!

Yeah, we lost last night at home to the Blackhawks.  We did look pretty good for the two periods I watched, but apparently not so much in the third.

Cannot wait for the season to start!!!
