Despite the fact that the Tigers’ season swirled finally and undeniably down the frigging Forsberg yesterday when Magglio Ordonez snapped his ankle? I found something that will make you happy. Happy like firetrucks and puppies and hookers in Spring? That kind of happy? No. But warm and satisfied, at least.
Only in Denver would the 12 remaining fans of a garbage franchise band together at a free internet Vegan cafe with their down jackets in July to discuss just how immature Wing fans are. It would appear our little sister friends took great offense at our Dater-hate. From the simpering masses at Mile High Hockey...
Two year old intelligence in the bodies of 350lb trailer trash.
It is possible that there are great players that don’t wear the winged wheel in the NHL.
Possible? Of course. Mentioned on an admittedly biased Wing blog? No need. And to take that a bit further, are there “great players” in Denver? Absolutely not. And that would include everyone’s favorite 40-game wonder, “Andy”.
Getting tired of the attitude and all around hypocrisy coming from that blog.
And yet…you keep reading. Why? There were no Dive mentions in there. A Stastny thing at the end, but just a trivial afterthought…like the Dive themselves, really. Bitch. Read some more. Whine. Read some more. Sob a bit. Read some more. How strange.
These guys are like every other Red Wings homer, only some idiot decided to give them a website.
Yeah Paul…you frigging idiot.

Thanks Chief, I needed this after the Tigers took two to the chin last night.

Anyone who follows Mike Serven’s Red Wings Feed on twitter would know that there is a lot more than “one idiot who game someone a website.”
The feed draws from 60 different blogs and other sources for news. It’s a pretty large community.

Passionate defenders of Adrian Dater, unite and make your voices heard!
Just try not to drool while refuting our views on Dater. And please, do something about that Avsmonkey stink, it’s starting to really smell up the place when more than one of you comes in here. BTW, you might want to ask your own idiot Dater to give you a website so you can bitch about us all you want. We’ll continue to thank our idiot Paul for giving us a place to laugh and point at you.

It’s just sad that they still think we are rivals. Few things are more depressing than a one-way rivalry.

From the previous thread:
An encore showing of the Nutcracker Suite! If that doesn’t deserve an exclamation mark nothing ever will. (re: Corinthians coach leaving)
Yep. 2010 so far: no Libertadores, no Stanley, no World Cup, no head coach. At least Darren Helm signed his 15-year contract. ... ... What?!?
Hey Herm, can we invert the H2H in four years and swing a 19_2_Rio event for the 2014 World Cup?
You can go to Rio, but I’m not there. You can come to São Paulo, though. But absolutely, the TTD gang is almost set to come (no?)

The Avs are outplayed regularly, that’s why they loose games. Wings only loose due to conspiracy theories, shifting of the Earth’s tectonic plates, and of course, the refs are against them.
Hey, they’re right about something. Except how to spell “lose.”

What I’d like to know is why these frigging idiots are so obsessed with A2Y?
Doesn’t Dater provide enough material for the Mile High masses?
Besides, the Chief is very entertaining and the arrogant Wings fans, otherwise known as the 19 are delightful. Just a better read over here I guess. Bitches.
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

Right, Ms. B.
The “shift” is more attributed to the time-space continuum ...
Posted by stonehands-78 from the beginning ... a WingsFan, on 07/25/10 at 02:38 PM ET
It’s odd, because I read the blogs of a lot of different teams, but the only fans where I have had more knee-jerk hostility than not are Pittsburgh (to a lesser extent) and Colorado. Every other team had fans who were very civil and even friendly once it was clear I wasn’t there to rabble-rouse or troll.
Not even Chicago, St. Louis, Columbus, or Nashville were all that unwelcoming, and they are all in the same division and would have more reason to be hostile. The rivalry with Colorado is more than a decade old and ancient history. I don’t get it.
But whatever. Since I’m 350 pound trailer trash with the intelligence of a two year old, they clearly have no interest in whatever I say - and I don’t find their team very interesting anyway. I have fun chatting on the Edmonton and Calgary and Vancouver blogs and that is more important.

The one anchor they had (past tense) to sanity and legitimate hockey status was the number 19 alternate.
Posted by RWBill from the Land of 12 in 12. on 07/25/10 at 03:13 PM ET
Forgot that Red Menace was in Winston-Salem. I’m sure I’ll get down there again. The Wings are not playing at the SouthEast teams this year I don’t think so no reunion in Raleigh with Racist Dougie and Red Menace.
Spent one night down there Friday-Saturday helping my older daughter and husband unload their Budget rental truck with household items into their rental condo near Wake Forest U.
It’s been just slightly cooler there than in VA, only in the upper 90’s. Their A/C didn’t work. The property managers sent a dude over Sat morning to verify that the A/C is indeed F’d Up, but said there was nothing they could do until Monday morning. They fired off an email to the manager’s crackberry who sent another maintenance guy over with a window unit, who left abruptly before we could determine that it also was non-functional. Actually you could not feel cool air holding your hand 3 feet from it. With the outside temperature 98 and the inside temperature 94 and the window unit doing no better than 78 it was losing ground.
We did get the truck unloaded and those crazy kids will just remember this as a great experience. Good thing they’re young and in love. I made the 4 hour drive back to Richmond Saturday evening and fed my cats in the air conditioning.

I would expect nothing less from the sun-baked idiots in Denver.
There are 2 reasons they write that sort of garbage then come to our boards to talk trash.
1. To revive a long-dead rivalry that showed the rest of the hockey world what (sore) losers they are (hoping for some sort of comeback kid story, I guess).
2. By antagonizing the fans of a legitimate NHL club into recognizing them they, themselves, feel as if they have earned some sort of legitimacy in the NHL.
It’s like the jackass at the concert a couple weeks ago, who didn’t even have the gonads to wear Dive colors in his home state, trying to start sh*t with me for my wings cap. He knows his team is awful, can’t sell tickets, and will never again hoist the cup, but if he can get me bent out of shape and drag me down a notch then he can feel legitimate in his (non)support of a terrible team. Laughter and pity..that’s all they deserve and all they get from me (oh, and I guess they get this post, too, if they coe over to read it).
October, where are you?

And for those us up north, the Red Wings’ injury parade has seamlessly transitioned to the Tigers.

What? The Nordiques are still in Denver? I thought they relocated back to Keebeck over the summer. Goes to show where their relevance lies in the eyes of this 350lb trailer trash livin’ two-year old intelligence haviin’ motherfuchin’ Wing fan.

I’ll come to Sao Paulo, sure thing. I just need some coaching on how to appear to be a bit less of an American in Brasil. What do people wear in the winter, what’s some customs I should know? That sort of stuff. Plus, where are the nearest fallout shelters in case Brasil loses. I know I know, odds are a bajillion to one, but there’s always that ‘what if’ scenario.

Oh and Adrienne Dater is a scat-munching piss kidney who knows hockey like Dane Cook knows comedy.
The rivalry was dead before Zata shoveled a no-look goal in over his shoulder whilst levitating and beating the goalie the Avalanches have been unable to get rid of since Ned Flanders left them.

Another fuching shit for the Nutcracker Suite 2010: I was at the Corinthians game today, somebody stole my car’s “soundsystem” and battery. At least we won the game, and now I’m 14-0 when attending live sport events (13-0 for Corinthians, 1-0 for the WIngs).
Posted by Guilherme from Brazsil on 07/25/10 at 09:01 PM ET
Oh, fuch! My uncle was at the game too, parked his car on a different place than mine. My car stereo was stolen, his whole car was stolen. Sully, whatever youd do in ‘14, don’t come here. Really.

And another word for “slide” can be “shift”. Many scientists have referred to the movement of the Earth’s tectonic plates as shifts.
And yet…you keep reading. Why?
Most likely the same reason folks from A2Y read Mile High Hockey.
Just to add fuel to the fire.
The Avs are on the upswing. Hopefully a great hockey rivalry will be re-born.

I still haven’t, and don’t plan to. Not really into wasting time or giving much thought to the Dive beyond a little laughing before turning to the latest genius move by Tick Tock.
But hey, if you’re looking to buck up your hit counter, I’m sure Dater knows some scat play sites that would love to have you put up a few banner ads.

W.T.F. Off the California coast in late July and it’s frigging cold. Somebody (Rummy, Calquake?) sold me a bad bill of frigging goods with this one.

Posted by Claude from Colorado on 07/26/10 at 04:37 AM ET
I doubt there will ever be a long-term rivalry based on frequent playoff meetings between comparably strong teams again - unless the CBA moves less toward homogenization of the league after the next lockout.
It just takes too long to build a solid team, and it’s so much easier to lose ground when mistakes must be carried against the salary cap long-term; if Chicago could have remained intact for a few years there might have been that kind of rivalry between the Red Wings and the Blackhawks, but it didn’t happen because of the CBA. Any team that rises from mediocrity to be very very good will be smacked back down into the muck in pretty short order. “Rivalries” will be manufactured between individual players (like the incessant Crosby vs. Ovechkin hype) or constantly shifting between teams, based on who is on the upswing, which teams last faced each other in the playoffs, etc. but nothing long-term that can last for years at a time.
And nothing between the players for sure - with so much CBA-forced roster turnover, any player who starts ruling out teams for superficial reasons such as long-dead rivalries will find himself without a job at all in short order. Contract, term, NYC, quality of life matter; the specific uniform does not. Not anymore.
It’s the McDonaldization of the NHL. All teams equally good, equally bad, equally interchangeable - and equally boring. That’s the goal, I think.

I continue to be surprised that they (Avs Monkeys) can type at the same time they’re drooling all over their keyboards. Some very lame comebacks and the typical assault on Detroit, the city.
I never understand people who are so insecure in their own city that they have to trash another city just to make themselves feel better. I’d like to see f*cking Denver survive with +14% unemployment for 3+ years after having it’s major industry go 2/3 bankrupt. Do they even have a major industry in Denver?

The Wings are not playing at the SouthEast teams this year I don’t think so no reunion in Raleigh with Racist Dougie and Red Menace.
I’d suggest that we have a Southern-fried A2Y get together on Wednesday, April 6, when our boys will be in Raleighwood adding points 109 and 110 against a Hurricanes team already dusting off the golf clubs.
It’s quite a while off, but I can arrange to get a few tickets together, and alcohol is on me. I’ll even pour it from the jar into individual cups, if you’re the picky sort.

I wouldn’t know, but I’m guessing Darren Garcia is a big mover and shaker in it, and that your average Dive fan keeps its coffers full.
