How Not To Make Friends In Detroit

from Russo’s Rants,

Good afternoon from gloomy Detroit, which from my experience, is usually the way Detroit is.

As I told Kent Youngblood — aka No. 2 — the other day, I must have been asleep at the wheel when I didn’t give Kent this trip.

But fool me once, shame on you; Fool me twice, shame on me (I got that right, right?). No. 2 will be coming to Detroit next month, guaranteed, when it will be cold and gloomy, guaranteed.

continued... at least a little game talk…

Damn.  If the Minnesotans are so caught up to their nuts about the “HockeyTown” tag, for the record, the Detroit Area is home to owners of THREE NHL teams and among the three of them, they’ve won FIVE Stanley Cups in the past ten years.  And those puppies haven’t gone past the second round of the playoffs in any of the years of their existence as the Wild.

And for them to place so much weight on Sports Illustrated calling them the “real HockeyTown,” they should’ve remembered that ANY proclamation from that rag is bad voodoo.

Sad really. After such an excellent display of sportsmanship and class by the Montreal Canadiens organization the other night to host the 81st year of these storied franchises, this plebian hockey neophyte with his pedestrian journalism hits all the tired media gassers. “ancient” Hasek, Detroit is gloomy, JLA is old…
Also, not sure why everyone gets their panties in a bunch over a marketing slogan with a registered trademark. Maybe the Wild should start off with a division title and add some to their rafter banner collection.

“Hey, if you’re going to play in Detroit, you have to have something to like, I guess. Just a joke, just a joke.”

Yeah, you have to like winning. 

How’s that going, Minnesota?
