Bandwagon Wings Fans

Rate this topic

Recommended Posts

I see a lot of Wings fans from all over the world, but I can't tell who's a primary Wings fan and who's a Wings fans for the rest of this season, but would otherwise root for another team. Step up, bandwagon fans! Who are you, who's your original team, and why are you now on the bandwagon? Also, out of my own curiosity, are there any Calgary fans on the bandwagon here? I have a brother-in-law from Medicine Hat and used to compete in the Stampede, and was on your bandwagon after you defeated us in Game 6 back in the day.

Conversely, are there any bandwagon fans of the Ducks fans here? If so, same questions.

WHO: I'm Grypho. I've lived in Wuxi China (Mainland PRC, west of Shanghai) for three months now, but moved here from San Jose.

MY TEAM: I am a die-hard Sharks fan - weened on Sharks hockey since their expansion into the league, and I am now on the Winged Welcome Wagon, solidly behind Detroit for the duration.

WHY: Because I love and respect their fans (this forum's fans specifically) as well as their team, and really, really enjoyed watching what I thought was a very cleanly fought series. Where others were downing either team during the series for "not showing up", etc., all I saw was a shift in the style of play that made the other team look extremely bad. It's easy to read the ice and the efforts and the shifts of momentum from a bird's eye view from an armchair, but when you're being sucked into a style of play that isn't your strong suit, you can end up looking incompetent to the casual observer. For the most part, all I saw was an extremely well played series on someone's part the whole time, as the balance of style and power shifted back and forth. Kudos to the Wings for finding a way, persevering, and sticking to their guns. Now I want to see them do some more of that voodoo that they did so well.

How about you?

*claps* Well Done!

I have alot of respect for Sharks fans and this is the reason why. I am also a fan of Marleau, when we had under 1 minute to go in the game tonight I was rooting for him to get a goal. lol. Ah well..Well played and well done to the Sharks and their fans!
