SuperCalaFilppulastic! 34 Report post Posted March 25, 2007 *shrugs* I like it primarily because it is going to promote some fan 'participation', since we've kind of been lacking lately with our spoiled-nessesess. I was at the St. Louis game yesterday and the crowd was really into it and riled up. When the wave hit the stands, people were having a blast with it. And when it REALLY got going, it was pretty neat to see inside the Joe. It seemed like it really kicked the fans into an extra gear. So if this is their intention, with some sort of "everyone wear red", or alternating red/white sections or something and a huge wave going around every game... I would like it a lot. PS - ENOUGH WITH THE TOWELS! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PS - ENOUGH WITH THE TOWELS! I was at the game yesterday and I can honestly say I've never done the wave at a Red Wing game, so that was cool. The crowd was really into the game, which was really nice to see. That said, "Join the Red Wave" is incredibly cheezy/dorky/dumb pick you're word. Oh well, I guess the Illitch's can try to get creative with this one. Edited March 25, 2007 by Schneids_is_awesome Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
timothy1997 0 Report post Posted March 25, 2007 The best playoff slogan the Red Wings ever had came in 2002, it wasn't drawn up by some marketing team, and it never manifested itself on t-shirts. No slogan has ever had a bigger impact, and it began with a simple whiteboard in the locker room and the determination of one Fredrick Olussen, "Whatever It Takes". We were down 3-2 going into Colorado for game 6 and the timing couldn't have been more perfect. That year the Wings did to whatever it took to win, and it's that attitude that each and every team needs to posses in order to take home Lord Stanley's Cup. So while we as fan's will be sitting in the stands and in front of our television's supporting our team by adopting the "Red Wave", I believe that our team will have their own slogan and that they will be doing "Whatever It Takes" to once again bring home “Stanley†and restore the mantel to HockeyTown!!! "Whatever It Takes" was not a playoff slogan for the wings. The slogan that year was "Let'em see Red" and they dropped the slogan in the cup finals because Carolina also wears red.

HockeyCrazy3033 168 Report post Posted March 25, 2007 Well at least these two have potential to be turned around into something humerous if things dont go well. Like if the Sabres run into a hot goalie and are scoring one goal a game, or Vancouver's got the obvious "Throw in the towel" if they're getting trounced! That is pretty funny.

Xduff83X 0 Report post Posted March 26, 2007 Yeah I would have to agree with you, its probably the best of what we heard so far. They all seem pretty lame in my opinion though, do these people have any brains who come up with these slogans? join the red wave? when we where young teenagers and my sister was all pissy from the monthly visiter... we would say she was surfing the crimson or red wave... this is re-god-damn-diculouse!

YoungGuns1340 1 Report post Posted March 26, 2007 One team, one goal is pretty good. At least it has to do with the game of hockey. If I were the Preds management, I wouldnt have chosen "Live it up" with the media speculation about how they might be moved. Its almost like saying "Live It Up" Preds fans, because you might not have a team next year! ...and, naturally, Join the Red Wave is as lame as they come.

The slogan that year was "Let'em see Red" and they dropped the slogan in the cup finals because Carolina also wears red. I think the poster was saying "Whatever It Takes" was kind of an unofficial playoff slogan that the players had for themselves. I had "Let 'Em See Red" in my email signature back in 2002...when we got to the Cup finals, I changed it to "Let 'Em See the ORIGINAL Red!" because I didn't want the hockey gods to think I wanted Carolina to win...lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Offsides 21 Report post Posted March 26, 2007 Ha ha, yeah, this is a BAD slogan. How about "Don't Suck" or take one from Kid Rock "In it to win it like Yzerman" I really hate most of our slogans.
