Nothing looks better then freakin towels I hate whoever's idea it is to use these dumb glow sticks. They better have towels for game 4. Indeed stuff like this is so lame and stupid, keep the sponsor crap away from the playoffs. I would love if the NHL "culture" would be more like the european culture with all the singing, flag waiving, jumping it would make up for an awesome atmosphere and not these "we want you do this.." kind of thing. Fans are smart enough to know when and how to cheer. Glow sticks are funny for intros but they add absolutely nothing in terms of noise, atmosphere same goes for the towels. Another point I wanted to mention is the "stay connected 24/7" who the hell wants that ? The PR guys should realize one thing, people are looking at the official homepage to get that stuff of information and don't want to use third party sites/plugin in order to get the information they are looking for. So how about making the Wings homepage better ? Finding videos on the site is tedious (can't even see the day time) and there really is not a ton of news.

PenaltyShot 96 521 Report post Posted April 22, 2014 I'll be there, yelling the whole game. I went to a playoff game against the Blackhawks last year and the crowd screamed so loudly we couldn't even hear the music/announcements. I hope it's the same tonight. 1 55fan reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just saying Yes and I absolutely hate them, you are paying around 100 bucks to wear a jersey with advertisements although you only want to represent a club it's garbage. We also have teams who are changing their colors! in order to fit the ones of their sponsors... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GoWings1905 2,694 Report post Posted April 22, 2014 So stoked to be going tonight. The atmosphere for playoff games at the Joe is just on an entirely different level from the regular season. You can feel the buzz of the crowd even before all of the pre-game festivities begin. I have noticed too the past couple years how much louder the Joe has been for playoff games. It was bonkers for both Game 6's against the Ducks and Blackhawks last season. Absolutely love this time of year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
matt198913 932 Report post Posted April 22, 2014 That's okay NBC will make it appear that the crowd is not loud by bringing the volume down like they did last year. Can't hear Olcyzks useless opinions that way Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FireCaptain 563 Report post Posted April 23, 2014 Apparently, down by 2 after 1 period elicits boos (well deserved boos, some would say).

FireCaptain 563 Report post Posted April 23, 2014 Don't forget that the league controls the club's official website now. They started that a few years back to (I guess) 'standardize the product' amongst all the team. If you notice, they all use a very similar template. Did a quick search - the change dates back to 2006. (Why I remember crap like this, I have no idea.) Newsday (now in the process of being bought by Cablevision): The legal battle over marketing turf dates to 2006, when team owners voted 25-3 to approve transfer of all 30 teams' digital rights to the league, mimicking a "unitized" Internet business model used by the National Football League since 1999 and Major League Baseball since 2001. The Rangers cast one of the "no" votes...At the heart of the conflict is MSG's belief that, as a big-market team, the Rangers should be free to find new revenue streams outside the limits of market-sharing restrictions. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/06/23/AR2008062300122.html Another point I wanted to mention is the "stay connected 24/7" who the hell wants that ?
