R.I.P. Mr Ilitch

Sad he won't get to see the new arena.
Maybe now they will name it The Ilitch Arena instead of Little Caeser's Arena.
But by using the pizza business name, maybe it's some kind of tax incentive or right off.

I was really hoping the boys were gonna be able to get Mr.I another Championship before he passed because you could tell how badly he wanted it. Sadly was not to be :( He was a good man and really meant a lot to the city.
