Don't you guys think its a little biased to put the wings against the hawks on the hawks banner raising game. You know what they'll be chanting when that thing goes up into the rafters. I just hope the wings feed off of that and beat the living s*** out of those little brats. GOOOOO WINGS!!!

[Carman]

Well, on the bright side, if that doesn't add enough fuel to the fire for the Wings to win I don't know what will.

Yes, I have no doubt in my mind the Leauge's motive for this was not to underline a historic and at times great rivalry between two of its most followed and historied franchies, but rather as a shameless way to insult us.

Seriously, it was probablly planned, but do you honestly think that was the main intention ?

Yea i hope im not sounding all conspiracy theory on everyone but its just a little suspicious. Thats why i just said if the wings can get anything from this hawks love fest is to get motivation to beat the living piss out of em and spoil the party.

Oh, I have no doubt that we were chosen deliberatly, but honestly I think the Leauge's focus was on making the game something outside fans could have interest in. People love grudge matches,the NHL knows this. I wouldn't take it personally if I was a Wing at all.

One thing I can agree on is the energy level, however. We better win that game.

Let them have their moment. He who laugh's last...

Wings win 14-3.

Howard has a hat trick and stuart scores an own goal.

[hooon]

If the Wings are in town, I'll be at the game. Hmm, maybe I'll show up late for this one.

As much as I HATE the Hawks... I do love a good rivalry. The Wings-Aves rivalry a yore produced some of the best games of my life. I don't mind a little extra fuel on the fire, all part of the process of a great rivalry.

[GMRwings1983]

We need to goon it up for that game.

Just like that final game in Slapshot, when the Syracuse team loaded their roster full of goons to prepare for the Chiefs.

Send those ******* a message for the rest of the season.

No. You're reading way too much into things.

This just means we get one more chance to ruin it for them. How great would it be for the Wings to shame them 8-0?

[Z and D for the C]

Yes, because only the Red Wings are mad that the Blackhawks won the Stanley Cup instead of them. All other 28 teams, including the four they played in the playoffs (read: not us), wanted the Blackhawks to win the Stanley Cup.

[LeftWinger]

Ya ya, we'll hear the chant, let em chant. Too bad half of their Cup winning players will be playing elsewhere that night! Hell, there might even be one on the opposing team that night!

Wonder why, since they blew their cap load, people aren't saying that the Hawks "BOUGHT" the Cup? In a Cap world that has to be the closest thing to BUYING the Cup than anything, right?

[Happy Pancake]

Defending Cup champs knocked off by archrival Detroit to chants of 'Detroit sucks' sounds like a good, albeit rambling, headline for the next morning.

[Detroit # 1 Fan]

Who wants to bet "Detroit Sucks" is chanted during the rising of the banner?f****** awesome fans in Chicago, awesome. Cheer for your goddamn team and get over the obsession with Detroit.

[Drake_Marcus]

They didn't beat us in the playoffs so it really doesn't chap my ass any more to have them raise it against us. If we had to watch Pittsburgh raise theirs last year I would've been pissed. (maybe we did and I just blocked it out of my mind)

I doubt a conspiracy theory. A conspiracy theory implies some deceit or clandestine operation, the grassy knoll for instance.

I'm assuming the league said here are 2 original 6 members that don't like each other. This game is a no brainer, the league should think like this. Like you said a good motivational tool for the Wings.

Look at the bright side, more than a few members of the winning team won't be in the building that night due to the cap.
They may even lay off slobbing Cindy's knob that night, or Ovie's for that matter.

[xtrememachine1]

Meh, who really cares? While they're admiring their banner from last year, we'll beating their ass on the ice and taking over first place in the division this year.

[Lamothe]

This. LOL.
