SportsFilter: The Tuesday Huddle:
A place to discuss the sports stories that aren't making news, share links that aren't quite front-page material, and diagram plays on your hand. Remember to count to five Mississippi before commenting in anger.
The Jaguars haven't had a game blacked out this season. Ticket sales are up, but the media keeps taking shots anyway. Mike Ditka claimed falsely on ESPN's Countdown Sunday that only 25,000 people would be watching the Jags host the Colts. They'd already sold 63,000 tickets and announced there was no blackout.

It appears Mike Ilitch will become the new owner of the Pistons. Bill Davidson's widow says she expects the deal to be done by the season opener. Rumors that Ilitch is changing the name of Olympia Entertainment to Omni Consumer Products are still unfounded...

The Vancouver Canucks have purchased the trademark and all rights to the images, logos, crests, uniforms, etc. of your 1915 Stanley Cup Champions, the Vancouver Millionaires.

That second Vancouver Millionaires link is great.
Ottawa admitted after the game that the Western rules confused them, particularly the use of the forward pass at center ice.
I'm just trying to imagine a modern NHL team playing with no blue lines or forward passes. The mind boggles.

And this: The game was so far out of reach so early that Vancouver never made a single substitute during the entire game, using the same 7 skaters for all 60 minutes.
there's quite a few of us wet coasters hoping the plan is to bring in the Millionaire's jersey as an alternate. It's a sweet look and would be so apt.

Rumple, somehow I don't think the jersey I saw in your second link is anywhere near fancy enough. A big V and some loops around the sleeves, really, we need a big scary animal or weapon or other threatening image on modern jerseys!

A big V and some loops, or animal / weapon, take your pick.

I was thinking this guy would be a nice element of a Vancouver Millionaires jersey, replace cane with stick. I'd buy that Slanket in a heartbeat.

It'll happen, if only for a game or two. They want to sell jerseys, the best way to do that is to have the team parade them down the catwalk, so to speak.
