Nice gesture on his part, but what’s up with all these articles about the sincerity and knowledge of Wings fans. It makes us look human and likable, and we all know that is simply not true.

Thanks for reading; go F#$$ yourself!

The OC register always mentions this, they are perenially amazed by the amount of Red Wings supporters at these games. News flash, it’s been happening for years. Where were they during the playoffs? There was Red everywhere you went, not to mention the drone of “Go Sens Go” during the Stanley Cup Finals (different team, but just going for emphasis here).

The only thing that bothers me, as a Ducks fan, is how quiet the stadium is at times. Leaving early is one thing, I have seen nearly every team exhibit that (although some do it in larger proportions) but taking a vow of silence as soon as the Ducks surrender a goal? FAIL! You would think this plagues all of California, but the Kings and Sharks have great fans.

On a final note, it really was disappointing seeing a scarcity of hats for the Flash.

...and this is why the NHL perennially screws the Wings over by having them in the Western Conference.  Detroit’s an easy 2000+ draw over their usual average to other NHL teams, and since most of the teams in the West are also the teams which die at the gate… voila!  Detroit gets in in the pooper again.

I’ll be at the Shark Tank tonight in my Yzerman sweater. I’ll try to act as boorish and immature as the wife (in Cheechoo livery, ugh) will allow.
