from Mark Kiszla of the Denver Post,
Although short on talent, the Avs displayed plenty of spunk during their neutral-ice game at the Pepsi Center against longtime hated rival Detroit.
Neutral ice? Sad, but true.
The most unsettling trend in the blood feud between the Avs and Wings might not be that Detroit remains a legit Cup contender while Colorado now too often seems like a gritty pretender. What really grates is how many Detroit fans treat the 303 like their own area code.
What gives? There were more Red Wings sweaters in the building on this Saturday night than red Chrysler Sebrings were sold in the Motor City during the entire month of December.

There are Wings fans spread through out the country. Why? Would you want to live in Detroit? If you can leave Detroit, you leave Detroit. There are times I wish we could build a wall around Georgia to control the great white Michigan flight from overflowing the state. After reading this article, it seems like other states are being overrun as well.
