Although unrelated, it's worth noting that while the flak the Ilitches received for staging a "Texas Hold 'Em" tournament at Motor City Casino which included a $500 donation to play at a table with several Red Wings--mostly because the tie-ins with casino gambling are a "no-no" for NHL teams--the tournament, held on November 5th, did in fact happen. The Red Wings simply never mentioned the results thereof.
Marian Ilitch owns MotorCity Casino and along with her husband Mike Ilitch she co-owns the Detroit Red Wings. An earlier announcement about the poker tournament was pulled from the Red Wings official Web site.
