Is anyone planning on going to this game? I would love to go, but alas I'm about 2000 miles away

That was an excellent cermony. The applause for Stevie before he went to the podium took at least 3 minutes, and he gave credit to everyone but himself in his speech.
Good article from espn.com

I added the SportsPack so I could watch the ceremony. It was indeed excellent although it ran almost 2 hrs. It was typical Stevie fashion for him downplay his leadership. IMO he is one of the best of all time. Thank you Stevie for everything! Thanks to you, Detroit is Hockeytown!!!!
