Searching For Hockeytown

from Michael Farber of Sports Illustrated,
“Hockeytown,” which still graces the center-ice circle at Joe Louis Arena, remains a brilliant slogan, a motto so evocative that the Canadiens emulated it this season with “The city is hockey,” evidence that Montreal has game if not syntax. Of course in Detroit in 2007 the Hockeytown moniker seems as appropriate as, well, dipping a beef taco in a glass of milk.
Detroit’s Hockeytown crown has slipped. There were so many empty seats in The Joe during the playoffs last spring that you could have twirled an octopus in some rows of the upper deck and not slimed a soul.

Sports Illustrated, which has about 4 hockey fans left subscribing to their rag, has a brilliant name, a name so evocative that you’d think they’d cover sports in a more appealing fashion.
However, Michael Farber, a writer for SI.com, has slipped and proves why he’s “Outside the NHL”. If it weren’t for Kukla’s Korner linking to the article it probably would have gone unnoticed.
