I think Detroit should honor his memory by going all in to maintain The Streak for one more year.

If we're judging Ilitch's legacy on what Detroit looks like right now, man, that is not a pretty picture.

Illitch was a good owner who turned the Red Wings into one of the premiere teams in the league, plus he tried to do a lot for Detroit (and yes line his pockets in the process). His passing is a bummer

How many sports owners would we honestly consider bad though? Marge Schott and Donald Sterling are more immediate answers but most seem content to just scam tax payers out of money.

If we're counting dead people, Harold Ballard was somewhere between Mr. Burns and worst human being ever associated with the NHL.

On the date of that letter, I went to a Wings game for my 4th birthday. The Wings beat Pittsburgh 4-3, Mario Lemieux got his 1000th point, and a fan caught a puck in his beer.

I guess I should be more aware of who owners are. Totally forgot about the Maloofs. I guess if it reaches the point where you're casually noticed the leagues are already trying to figure out how to remove you.

Brian France has spent the last 13 years trying to kill the sport his grandpa started and his dad brought into the mainstream through a continuous improvement plan of progressively worse ideas. Does that count?

I always had the impression SAS hated Ilitch for some reason which I was generally completely indifferent to but it seems based on what I've heard recently that he was a pretty standup guy as billionaire sports owners go.
