Hockey Talk - 2007-2008 Season
- Thread starter tomalak301
- Start date
I'm pretty sure it'll be full on Monday. Last two games a lot of people were torn between the Wings and the Pistons. That's no longer an issue. We'll give up the Hockeytown title when we stop being so damn superior.
Wikipedia states:
Also, there's the fact that the Wings are a fucking AWESOME hockey team.
I had the awesome opportunity to go to Game 3 of the series in the Igloo in Pittsburgh-- the crowd was so loud in support of their team; my voice was almost gone by the end of the game! It's beginning to look like that may have been the best possible game to go to, as well-- though I'll never give up hope until it's over!
Anyway, my young cousin was at the game along with me, and before the game, he asked his dad if Pittsburgh would get to be Hockeytown if they won this series. Cute!

If the Wings clinch the Cup (which they will), then they have EARNED the title of Hockeytown. Since when does attendance trump on-ice skill and ability? And yes, there will be a full house for Game 5.
Michigan has the worst economy of any state in the country. Tens of thousands of blue collar workers in Metro Detroit have been laid off or bought out by the auto companies and other related industries. That's going to have an effect on game attendance, there just aren't many people in Michigan right now who have the money to spend on a night out at the game. The same type of people who usually go to Wings games are looking for jobs and worrying about their own financial futures.
I thought we were talking about the *town*, not the *team*. Hockey Team, yes, they are, a very good one.
I'm glad we've established that. Add to that the fact that their town is Detroit, a town which contains many very enthusiastic hockey fans, and there's the name. Hockeytown. I suspect you're merely jealous that Hockeytown isn't some place in Canada. At least its nearby.
So why haven't they been showing up to games?
Pistons playoff games being played the same night.
we're going to OT baby!
3rd overtime!
the only way this could be better is if it were game 7

This has been explained. Pay attention. 20,000 strong in the Joe tonight! TRIPLE OVERTIME! The crowd is staying well after midnight to see the Wings win it, on a weeknight no less. THAT'S devotion. I don't know whether I want to kill Fleury or shake his fucking hand.
So, naysayers - if Detroit shouldn't be Hockeytown, who should???

Fleury had over 60 saves that game!

Awesome game. Not as intense for me as the Sharks 4 OT thriller which ended in disappointment, but this is why I love playoff Hockey. I wish we could have went into the 4th OT though. Just to continue the game more. Still, I wonder if the complexion of this series has changed because of the Pen's win tonight. Yeah they are still down 3-2, but winning a game like that will do wonders to a teams confidence and motivation.
