Well, it's better than Bieber (lol)

Seems fitting, considering the Leafs have been Livin' on a Prayer since 1968.

It seems fitting because the ACC has consistently played the shittiest/goofiest music known to mankind during games -- The Jeffersons Theme song; Welcome Back Kotter; the organist jamming along to Saga's, Wind Him Up.

And yes, Justin Bieber really should have gotten the nod first.

Is that equivalent to the ACC retiring Bon Jovi so that they can never play there again?

If the Saddledome ever puts up a banner for Nickelback, get the torches and pitchforks ready...

 

[KennyBanyeah]

Is it going to be made exclusively of hairspray and torn jeans?

The Stampeders should get first dibs at a banner.

@JasonPHT
The crazy thing is, Bon Jovi has been the fifth- or maybe sixth-best Raptor of all time.

Also...

banners for musicians?

Ridiculous. Especially when that musician isn't even from your city... or country for that matter. Now if the Devils want to hang a Bon Jovi banner.... oh wait, no... it's still stupid.

 

[jstewismybastardson]

this was actually a paul harvey "and now you know the rest of the story ..."

It should come as no surprise that the story behind Bon Jovi's Slippery When Wet involves strippers and showers. While driving to the Number 5 Orange strip club in Vancouver, Doc McGhee, Bon Jovi's manager, commented on a road sign that read "Slippery When Wet." The band ignored him and, upon arrival at the club, went on to watch two dancers strip naked and hop in the shower to soap up a lather. As guitarist Richie Sambora later said, the band "looked at each other and went, Slippery When Wet. That's going to be it."

Ouch! That was quite the shot to the heart of Leafs' fans!

Yeah I don't get it either. I skimmed through the article to see if there was any significance but didn't see anything. MAYBE if it was the 1st ever concert that was held there or something or like you said is from that city.

Actually, MSG has a couple of banners hanging from the rafters for musicians:

Found another one (the Palace of Auburn Hills in suburban Detroit):

I don't want to be Misunderstood. While I don't think they are going to Runaway with the division this year, I have to think that their fans are going to Keep The Faith, and I hope they all just Have A Nice Day.

Always.

But yet it's only crackingly funny when it happens in Toronto?
