In a brief release today, the Detroit Red Wings announced today that they have hired one of the brightest young minds in hockey, Mike Forbes as GM. Forbes is of course known for his work in the AHL (Aussie Hockey League) with the Melbourne Fighting Koala's.
Upon his announcement as GM, Forbes took to whatever was like Twitter in 1986 to say that Punch Imlach had agree'd to give up going to Vegas and become the coach of the Red Wings.
Will this be the turning point in Detroit? Or will these two fall flat on their faces? Stay tuned...

I believe that "like Twitter in 1986" was posting on the bulletin board at the local roller rink.
Furthermore, I believe that Punch Imlach was drunk when he made that decision to give up going to Vegas.
He reportedly was going back to playing "Q-bert" on his Atari 2600.

Me and Punch were enjoying a couple dozen drinks upon this decision.
