dicksmack 33 Report post Posted April 19, 2007 I just wanted to put this out there: I know that the Michigan (and Windsor!) economy has seen better days, and I know that some fans may have been put off by the corporate-first mentality of selling the Wings' lower bowl seats, but I hope we can do our best to support our team by showing up for the rest of the Wings' home playoff games. I am just so proud of this area and how this team has come out and played with grit and is doing their very best to show the rest of the league that they aren't all flash and no substance. When they signed Datsyuk for a long contract, they showed us that they want entertaining, skilled hockey at their barn for a long time and I'm all for it... Hank will sign for long term next... All of you Michigan, Ohio and Ontario Wings fans c'mon! and those of you from beyond that can do it too! Buy your playoff tickets and support our guys. I'll be the guy in the home jersey in Section 106 with 'dicksmack' on the back! Go Wings! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wingsor 2 Report post Posted April 19, 2007 (edited) GOOOOOOOOOOO WINGS! WINDSOR IS WINGSOR! UNITED WE STAND, all Wings fans, not just Detroit, Windsor and Ohio, but all the long sufferers in other cities like Denver, Toronto, Miami and overseas! Tomorrow is the 19th, WIN ONE IN CALGARY FOR STEVIE! last game doesnt matter, the real outcome was Wings 2, Flames 1, Refs 2, Posts 1 (so many blown calls in the first round, not only in our series, but others im watching, love how Zetts was being held off the puck with no call when Calgary came down for their winner) (gott love the refs blowing the call and giving the Islander game to Buffalo) I love the Wings, always will, always have even when I didnt live in this area. I have been to so many Wings games and look forward to many more. I hope to get to a game soon, bring an air horn, my red goal light and a new wings jersey. Wings in 5, dont lose the faith. Det vs NYR cup. wings win cup in 7 Lets go wings! Edited April 19, 2007 by Wingsor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wingsor 2 Report post Posted April 19, 2007 (edited) Illitch should support the FANS and lower prices. you know what, why not, all our excess revenue now goes to subsidize small market teams so they can afford bigger players...even though their tickets are way cheaper, and they dont earn all the money themselves.....in other words communism. if theyre going to force it down our throats, we should be able to keep all our players and have the same budget even if we dont make as much money off the lowered tickets. if other teams can dip in the jar, then so can we. lets see what shary bettman does once his beedy eyes realizes that the big market teams like Det, NYR, Col, Mon, Tor etc are selling tickets for much less, and revenues from our excess are no longer funding the small market teams. Maybe that will dissolve the communistic cap agreement. He should go into fast good next. Wonder if he can get McDonald's to pay all their extra profit to ensure that smaller restaurants can make the same profit. Maybe McDonald's should bail out Burger King if they start going down. What a joke. If you have a loyal fanbase like US WINGS FANS, and we're willing to buy the tickets and merchandise and it gives us the power to pay for good players, then WE DESERVE IT. I don't think we should be indirectly funding the enemy or the small markets. They should earn a fanbase and support it for years like we have. PS you guys know that the Windsor Essex Country school board automatically puts money into funding the Toronto Maple Leafs as a stock investment for their teachers? What a joke, most of them cant stand the leafs, would rather fund the wings, or at least have a choice of a canadian team we could stand. more examples of communism. So they dont even earn the right to have all that money in TO. They don't even tell the teachers that its going on either. I also love not having the option in Windsor to have the red wings symbol on my plate, even though they offer the leafs II asked for a blank spot to be left on the left of my plate and letters....and I'd make my own sticker, but they told me they'd ticket me and revoke my plate! TRUST ME IM DIE HARD WINGS ALL THE WAY! OK RANT! lol I would love to pay whatever price for a ticket if it means we win. Hockey on a professional level is a business, and in a free market society we should be allowed to support the teams and things we like in life, and they should be allowed to profit and have the budget to keep making their goods better, IE wings have a budget to not only keep all their stars, but get more, because they reinvest and we love them for it! Sorry bitter at this new NHL. LOVE THE WINGS AS MUCH AS EVER! tomorrow s date is 19, so WIN FOR STEVIE Edited April 19, 2007 by Wingsor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
