There is no debate, no discussion, no question.
You cheer for the guy who bled for The D.
No real Hockeytown fan has choice.
You cheer for the guy who sat out six weeks with his jaw wired shut. And came back with a vengeance.
You cheer for the guy who made Detroit Red Wings headlines for both scoring and penalties, before back pain forced him to retire at 32.
You cheer for the guy who, two years ago, was fired so abruptly by the Florida Panthers that video of his leaving the head office went viral, only adding to the humiliation.
