Selling Out The Can

Oh, well isn’t this just a happy little tale out of Bandwagon, Colorado. Varsity Whiner and longtime Dive writer Mark Kiszla is perturbed.
After beating Detroit 3-1 Saturday night, there were so many folks dressed in a No. 19 red sweater as they walked in the arena’s tavern that you wondered if Red Wings legend Steve Yzerman was signing autographs at the bar.
How appropriate that the 500th sold-out home game in Avalanche history was against the Red Wings, the hockey team this town loves to hate.
How sad that after all these years, you could see more fans in Colorado’s own arena wearing Yzerman replica jerseys than sweaters honoring former Avs star Peter Forsberg.
Please tell me you’re not surprised. Michigan natives may be leaving the state in droves, but it’s not the Wings driving them out. So, our allegiance remains where it is, and should be: with the Wings. Denver, meanwhile, had its fad. Now it’s fading.
Thanks to Hockeychic for the pointer.

About Abel to Yzerman
Welcome to Abel to Yzerman, a Red Wing blog since 1977. No other site on the internet has better-researched, fact-laden and better prepared discussions than A2Y. Re-phrase: we do little research, find facts and stats highly overrated and claim little to no preparation. There are 19 readers of A2Y. No more, no less. All of them, except maybe one, are juvenile in nature. Reminding them of that in the comment section will only encourage them to prove that.
