You know you're a Detroit Red Wings fan if...

[Kira 451]

My friend painted her room red and white and has a Red Wings logo on the wall over her bed. And she lives in Preds territory (unfortunately for her). You also spend your whole paycheck on bedding and furnishings in red and white.

You have a calendar by your desk with all the Wings' birthdays on it. And you save the old calendars for the pics. Guilty of that one...Pasha is on my wall. And he's the first face I see when I walk in the room.

[Guest ZDH]

You know you're a Wings fan when just hours after your team has been eliminated you are wondering who your team will sign as UFA's on July 1st. LOL

when you always talk Wings hockey with the 8 year old boy you babysit, and after a trip to Nashville to see his Aunt you find picture evidence that he went to a Preds display somewhere and posed with a hockey stick in front of the Preds logo......then you find out that he went to game and actually cheered for the Preds to beat Chicago...... and after finding all this out the look you give the child sends him into a 15 min explantion on how he really didnt mean it and the only reason he had anything to do with it was because he was in their teritory and his final argument was, "My dad booed everytime they touched the puck....."

missguided youth.... I want to believe he's not a closet Preds fan....lol

...if you think that your team NEVER had any good goalies...aside from Sawchuk.

[Wings_Fan_in_KC 3]

You would, if you had the chance, drink 10 beers and then get a ride by his house to take a reeeaaaalllly long piss into the gas tank of every one of Pronger's cars.

You can pronounce not only Swedish names but also Russian names (from learning the R5 back in the day).

You have a #16 swetaer and constantly have to tell people who Kontstantinov is and why his name is on your back.

You think Fedorov is just another schmuck in an opposition sweater and love it when Franzen pancakes him.

You hate the Ducks, the Preds, the Canucks and any other team that's knocked us out since 2002.

Have no problem insulting puck bunnies from CO who wear Sakic sweaters but have no clue who Sakic is.

Still hate Claudia "The Turtle" LeMeow and Patttty Waaaah.

Hey, that's good therapy.

[MidMichSteve 1,115]

your remote is still shattered in 18 pieces because of game 6

It was game 4 for me.

[Izzy24 44]

You start the Lets Go Red Wings chant in someone else's barn

Ideally the Pepsi Center.

when you still think its your own fault the wings lost game 6 because you missed the first 2 periods b/c of lacrosse and you didnt watch the game in the basement.(when i watch the game in the basement they are 10-1-2 in the playoffs)

What's with the tie?

[Mason 38]

Those are overtime losses, I'm assuming.

I tried the basement for game 6 myself - didn't work. In fact I watched the last 3 games on the 3 different TV sets w satellite in my house - and they lost them all. What to do next year now?

OT losess

If the wings lose in the conference quarter-finals, you get pissed & demand that the coaching staff, ken holland and most of the players get canned.

If the wings lose in the conference semi-finals, you get pissed & demand that the coaching staff, ken holland and most of the players get canned.

If the wings lose in the conference finals, you get pissed & demand that the coaching staff, ken holland and most of the players get canned.

If the wings lose in the stanley cup finals, you get pissed & demand that the coaching staff, ken holland and most of the players get canned.

If the wings win the cup, you think the wings did OK this season.

[VladyIBELIEVE16 257]

You are known by others as "The Red Wing Fan"

[glasgowcelticwing 18]

Your at work and start talking to complete strangers about the Red Wings and Ice Hockey in general. They look at you as if "Who the hell are you??? and what's a Red Wing". ( Ice Hockey isn't really that popular in Scotland. )

I did that last night.

[redwingslady87 130]

your car can be identified by all the Red Wings memoribilla on it.

Get a new TV....

You're 700 miles from Hockeytown and have met all your new friends via conversations that started..... "Go Wings!"

[ehorn3 2]

You love the fact the Bernie Ferderko played his last games as a Red Wing

You crack a rib in the first period of your hockey game and play the rest of the game because 1) you don't want to let your team down and 2) you kept thinking in your head WWCD (what would Cleary do)

You replaced the picture of Jesus for Stevie Y holding the cup in 97

[stevieisthebest 80]

you refuse to change the difficaulty level on nhl 2k7 because you really enjoy beating your oppnents 10-0 every game....with dats, Z, and Lang with 120+ goals and going 82-0

haha when the little boy you babysit got an NHL game for his playstation and you changed everything so you could beat the Ducks 29-3..... with Lang scoring about 10 of those

Your teachers at school or college ask if you are okay after the Wings have just been eliminated and then tell you that you shouldn't have come to school.

[Edge 0]

When you have more Red Wing memoribillia up at Christmas than you do Christmas decorations.

[Guest ZDH]

When someone refers to 1997, 1998 or 2002 and you answer...the Wings won the Cup that year.

I do that.

[Guest ZDH]

You still use bad nicknames for Avsnots players. Milan Heypuke, Patty Wah, Peter Foreskin, Peter Forsbooger, Joe Suckic, Rob Fake, Adam Foote Fungus, Adam Athlete's Foote, Alex I'm ***, Ace and Gary aka The Ambiguously *** Duo aka Paul Cry a Ria and Teemu Salami, Pierre Lacrotch, Bob Fartley, Adam Ungratefuldeadcornstarch, Pis Drury, Claude Lepuke.

[ehorn3 2]

when you watch other teams play, you're always scouting to replace Lazy Lang

on other sites (myspace, facebook) you make it a point to let everyone know who your favorite hockey team is

you wear red to work every game day

Your favorite movies consist of "The Red Wings DVD"

you think every player that wears 19 had to have idolized Yzerman

[DaKineMaui 8]

Literally laughing out loud here. Oh s*** - very very good. (It's prolly worse when you call out the other years too - rainman-style)

---------------------------------------------

Also, anyways......You live on a small island in the middle of a large ocean, inhabited by a population that couldn't pick Steve Yzerman out of a police lineup, yet after game 6 - the guy at the liquor store, the guys at work, including your boss and the homeowner, the crossing guard at your kid's elementary school, the lady at the rental office, and tourists that just arrived 4 days ago -> they all give you a somber look, eyes toward the pavement, sorta shaking their head.....and sadly and sincerely tell you they're "very very sorry and that it's gonna be ok man......um when does next season start?".

Then they start rambling on about some Pistons or Tigers or something.
