I seriously doubt there are bandwagon Wings fans at this point. It's the age of the Hawks/Kings/Bruins/Pens.

idk so many only stick around if we are winning or on a streak otherwise get rid of everyone babs Holland zetty

I wonder how long before we can put this "the only way to win in today's game is to draft and develop" argument to bed. Jason Garrison, Ben Bishop, Brendan Morrow, Anton Stralman, Matt Carle, Brian Boyle, Ryan Callahan, and Valtteri Filppula are all pretty significant contributors to this team and were drafted and developed elsewhere. Same is true of both teams in the Stanley Cup last year as well. Free agency and trades can add significantly to your team's success.

got to love the bandwagon fans

Did you expect a Florida team to have lifelong, homegrown, die hard fans of a sport played on ice? None of ice, hockey, or hockey fans naturally occurs in Florida. Bandwagon fans in Florida is a little more tolerable than they are in say...Chicago?

Not sure where you get the impression that I think the Wings haven't done a good job as well. It is possible to give another franchise credit. Giving one GM credit does not mean I am hating on another. My only point is that something special is being built in Tampa, while some have their noses too high in the air because they haven't won anything since Stevie Y took over as GM.

Not saying you in particular, but many Wings fans do. But honestly, many teams look good and have a lot of talent and never are able to put it together and win it all. I think Yzerman is looked upon more favorably because of his playing career as opposed to what he has done as a GM. He's made many good moves, a few not so good and it remains to be seen whether Tampa will be a dynasty or a really good team with a lot of talent.
