Def Leppard Singer's Upside-Down Stanley Cup
Sean Leahy's Going Five Hole — Def Leppard lead singer Joe Elliot bravely admitted, "we're soccer boys, what do we know" after he took the Stanley Cup from Kyle Quincey, raised it, and then placed it carefully upside down. Finally, with the Maple Leafs spoiling Detroit's banner-raising party and the Philadelphia Flyers losing to their AHL team, does that make it two minor league teams beating NHL clubs this week? I kid. Stick-tap to my brother for pointing the Def Leppard gaffe out. Ballhype: hype it up! ...

Def Leppard IS Hockey
Hub Hockey — Talk about embarrassing... No, not the fact that the Red Wings lost to the Leafs. I'm talking about what happened during the NHL Face-Off Rocks concert, were Def Leppard lead singer Joe Elliot proved once and for all that no one really paid any attention to the NHL Premiere in London ...

Def Leppard Disrespects The Sacred Stanley Cup
AwfulAnnouncing — Ahh, hockey. Where else would you find a clip of Def Leppard playing a concert on Versus, having members of the Red Wings bring the Stanley Cup on stage, and the lead singer subsequently placing the thing on a podium upside down? ...

That's Not Right
The Ace of Sports — Joe Elliot, lead singer of Def Leppard, has an issue with placing things right side up: You'd think when booking a band for "Face Off Rocks", the NHL would have found someone who actually, you know, knew something about hockey. Honestly, that was worse than seeing the Wings fall to the Leafs in the opener. ...

Daft Leppard
The Power Play — If any of you stayed tuned after last night's Wings vs. Leafs game, then please accept my condolences because you were witness to a Def Leppard concert. Well if you're like me and you're not obsessed with the 80's then you likely missed the concert, and the non-hockey moment that everyone is talking about from opening night. Yes there was lots of exciting hockey being played, but everybody is talking about the gaffe made by a singer of a washed up, no longer relevant hair metal band. At around the end of the show, Kyle Quincey and Darren McCarty fresh off their loss to the Leafs, roll on to the stage with the Stanley Cup on the ...

Def Leppard Puts the Stanley Cup Upside Down - Video
Hockey Beat — What in the world were the Detroit Red Wings organizers thinking when they got Def Leppard to do their season kick off party?  I mean, I love the group as much as the next guy but they clearly don’t know too much about the sport.  *sigh* ...

Def Leppard's Joe Elliot explains his Cup mishap
Waiting For Stanley — Saw this at Puck Daddy's joint, of course: Joe Elliot should not have cleared the air on the Def Leppard website about why he put the Cup upside down on the table on stage during the regular season opening night concert. "I will, as always, take full responsibility for what happened because I have big pucks. However, someone at the NHL should have known better and informed me first instead of keeping the Stanley Cup under lock and key until the last minute. The practice run the day before with a coffeemaker went swimmingly because it, like every other sporting cup I've ever seen, was wider at the top than ...

DEF LEPPARD PUT THE STANLEY CUP UPSIDE DOWN ON PURPOSE?
The World of Isaac — Chris Chelios seems to think so.... J.J.: "You think he did it on purpose?" "No, we know he did ... we talked to people at the show and the guy was being real rude to everybody," Chelios said. "He was in a bad mood when they got there, so for whatever reason he didn't want to be there. And that's his way of showing it and taking it out on the NHL. ... The incident they are referring to was the home opener for the Red Wings. Def Leppard put the cup upside down This is what the Red Wings get for inviting rock n' roll has beens ...

Worst Ever Hockey Cards #22
Get High on Hockey — #236 - Oleg Tverdovsky 95-96 Skybox Impact (back) It's embarrassing when the NHL tries to be cool. Like the NHL's Faceoff Rocks debacle that kicked off the 08-09 season and featured two artists, Def Leppard and Alanis Morrisette, who were arguably never cool, and have ...

John Rolfe: Immortal Pirates, Wee Willy facts, more items of disinterest
SI.com - Extra Mustard — Now that the Pirates have sailed into the annals of ignominy with their record-breaking 17th straight losing season, this space would like to take a little stroll down memory lane. Having been through a pair of fallow eras with our own rooting interest -- hence this space's rueful fondness for such pinstriped, ahem, luminaries as Stump Merrill , Andy Stankiewicz , Eric Plunk , Porky Reniff , Thad Tillotson , Celerino Sanchez , Horace Clarke and Jake Gibbs -- we know that sometime before the sun burns out Pirates fans will look back on this miserable stretch and chuckle over names such as these that have graced the roster since the last winning campaign ...
