Unfortunately, you guys are so off base on this one, it isn't even funny. Geographically, Anaheim (or LA or Raleigh or Nashville, etc) will never be a "Hockeytown". It is what it is.
Anaheim has only had a team for 12 years, and Detroit? Probably a little bit longer.
To say that Anaheim has a team that no one cares about is 100% wrong. People by nature like winners. I recall not too long ago when the Wings had to give tickets away too.
I am not a Wings fan, but I come here because there are some good discussions about hockey in general. Also because I have a good friend who posts here and is a huge Wings fan (you know who you are).
All I am saying is don't try to make an argument when there isn't one. Anaheim will never be a hockey town, it will never have the educated fans of Detroit, Toronto, New Yorks, etc. No more than Fargo, ND will become the Beach volleyball capital of the world.
