It's late I know but either way Anaheim dominated Ottawa. I think they could of swept Ottawa but gave them a win so they could crush their spirits again :p. Either way about 90% of the Ducks are Canadian to the cups coming up here no matter who won ^_^.

Okay... congrats to Anaheim, but I have to respond to this one ignorant reporter that covers the hockey news there. I forget her name, and I don't care to look it up.

I think most fans in SoCal were content enough to bask in their Stanley Cup glory, but this biatch took potshots at Detroit after they beat us. One comment among many was the fact that we couldn't be called Hockeytown anymore since we failed to sell out our home playoff games. She then went on to say that Anaheim sold out 3x games in a row.

Ooooooooh, 30-something games!!! /sarcasm

I am not a hockey elitist, or a Wings elitist, although I LOVE my team. But we sold out several SEASONS in a row, 'kay? Let's see where you are in a few years before you go patting yourself on the back. Remember how small-market Carolina had a hockey rennaisance after making it to the finals? (where we beat them)? They tanked the next year and they went back to not caring, or showing up.

It's true the Wings had no sellouts this playoff season. But many people didn't go for the same reason I couldn't: We just couldn't afford it. Detroit is the worst area in the country, economically. It's so bad, that Michigan is 50th out of 50 states in unemployment even considering the western side of the state (Kalamazoo, Grand Rapids etc) is having an economic boom. GM Mike Illitch took a lot of heat for not lowering prices so more people could afford to go. Compare that to the Pistons, who in times past haven't raised their reasonable ticket prices for the playoffs at all.

Anyway, GO WINGS and I want to have Stevie Y's babies. Call any time, honey.

I don't like sports reporters/announcers. Half the time, I end up muting the TV, because I get sick of realizing that they are getting paid unreasonable amounts of money for their (usually worthless) opinions.

That, and their voices are annoying.

Detroit local radio and TV announcers have been awesome for years, we've been lucky.

Haha.... I like Sean Avery, but yeah, he's an agitator for sure. But at least he can be an enjoyable agitator, not like that reject Claude Lemieux was. Watch my Wings/Avs video, watch it NOW, MUAHAHAHAHA.

Good times.
