Seeing the Wing’s home record makes me depressed and happy at the same time. I attended the one game they lost. And what makes it worse is that I was at game 2 in 2007 against Anaheim (another game that went to multiple overtimes) and they lost that game too. So I don’t think I’m going to any Anaheim games in the future.
