OFFLINE

"On the opening night of the 2008-09 NHL season, Def Leppard performed live on stage immediately after the end of the Toronto Maple Leafs at Detroit Red Wings game in Detroit.

Midway through the set, Red Wing forward Darren McCarty drove a motorcycle across the stage with the Stanley Cup on the back. Another Detroit player, Kyle Quincey, handed the cup to Elliott, who walked across the stage with the cup hoisted above his head. He then walked to a nearby pedestal where he was supposed to set the cup down and continue the rest of the song.

However, Elliott placed the cup on its end with the base pointed up. Unaware of his mistake he continued back to the stage position as Quincey quickly noticed what happened and turned the trophy back over.

Elliott saw this and quipped to the crowd, "Oh its upside down. Well never mind. We're soccer boys, what do we know?"

This incident aroused the ire of many hockey fans."
