I skimmed through a lot of this thread and a couple things in it are real laughable. I come here now and then and read. Don't usually post because I am not here to troll. But one idea repeated over and over again really just amazed me. Red Wing fan = knowledgeable and loyal. Hawks fan = bandwagon and ignorant. COME ON!!! There isn't any thing different about hockey or people in Detroit or Chicago. The difference is the professional hockey organizations. At least since expansion. I mean the one from 6 to 12 teams. (yes I remember it). If the situation was reversed and the Hawks had been winning and the Wings had been mostly losing.... you think you would be Hockey Town? The Hawks had the misfortune to be really good when the Oilers were unbeatable. We just couldn't get past them. Other than that its been a long time since we had something to be proud of. Imagine your team so bad your stadium is half full and a division rivals fans are in your building cheering their team. That is where the "detroit sucks" chant comes from. Has your team been better? You bet, big time. Are your fans better? Come on, people are people. If a greedy owner had given us something to cheer for and the Wings were losing it would be like going to a Lions game with the Bears in town. ( most years). Then you guys could be chanting "Chi-ca-go Sucks!"...... you have to admit "De-troit Sucks!!" rolls off the tongue a little easier.

Well one, its charging. Clearly more than 3 strides. Two its probably 5 mins. Three is it legal to go to the players head like that these days?

I have been lurking here since last year without posting. Being a Blackhawk fan I didn't want to labeled a troll. But there is one thing I think we can all agree on, we could all do without the Jordan Tootoo's playing in the NHL. The fight with Wisniewski came after Tootoo was going after some of the Hawks more skilled players ( from behind). Wisniewski just pounded him. Unfortunetly the only damage Tootoo did was with his stick. Wis stepped on it on the ice and tore up his knee. Looking forward to next two games. Should be soem good hockey. BTW... not all Hawks fans are newbee bandwagon jumpers. Back in the day ( my day anyways) Hawks tickets were harder to get than Bears tickets. We've justr been down so long it drove a lot of fans away. But we do remember what good hockey looks like and it looks like its back. There has been a lot of youth hockey played here since the 60's so there a lot of adults who do understand the game. We don't all think we are a "dynasty" yet.
