It is possible that there are great players that don’t wear the winged wheel in the NHL.
But no. If every center on the wings isn’t a part of the best centers in the NHL list they start crying and whining like little pansies.
I wish I could find a photo of the Wings playoff series against the Ducks where all the Ducks on the ice decided to throw down. Even ol’ greybeard Scott Neidermeyer. Suddenly, the Wings players do a beautiful syncronized turtle routine and even cry for their mommies and the refs on cue.

OH GOD NO!
YOU WIN! OH PLEASE STOP THE HURT! YOU WIN! LORD HAVE MERCY ON US POOR AVS FANS… sniff sniff… I’ve been living a lie. I thought I was a fan of a good team, in a nice city, with some cool fans but I was WRONG!!! Thank you thank you thank you for showing me the error in my way. Now, if you could step away from the computer and go back to having sex with your mother, that’d be great….

Everybody cut them some slack.

I’m not cutting them anything.
Getting tired of the attitude and all around hypocrisy coming from that blog.
Blasting the Avs for riding Andy to the playoffs. Well, where would they be without Howard?
Blasting Avs fans and calling the entire fan-base a bunch of “bandwagoners” for not going to games. Wings can’t even sell out a playoff (PLAYOFF!!!) game and it’s the economy. Well, the economy sucks here too.
Avs fans bring up injuries to the team for our place in the standings and Wing fans blast us for having no depth. Wings fans bring up injuries and it’’s “amazing that they are where they are in the standings and a testament to their heart”.
The Avs are outplayed regularly, that’s why they loose games. Wings only loose due to conspiracy theories, shifting of the Earth’s tectonic plates, and of course, the refs are against them.
If at least two Wings players aren’t nominated for every award, top ten list, or accolade anywhere it’s because the person or people doing the judging have no idea what they are talking about or hockey.
They bring up their 11 cups, yet forget that the Habs have 24.
They bring up all kinds of history on why the Wings are the best team ever, yet forget the 42 year cup drought the team had.
They nickname the Avs “the dive”. They forget their players are up for Oscar nominations at the end of every season.
Personally, if I was a player on the Wings I would feel shame that these “mensa members” at EZ represent my fan base.
Of course we can’t bring any of that up to them. They start to cry and remind us that Detroit is hell on Earth in the States. Bringing up anything in my post is just “hitting them while they’re down”. Especially the lack of sell outs thing.

What is Denver’s main industry beside Av’s fellating? If you take away Denver’s most prominent industry – let’s see how the fans fill the Can.
Detroit’s major industry, car manufacturing, has taken it on the chin for years and this latest round of government sponsored bankruptcies for GM and Chrysler has devastaed the city if not the state of MI. 14% unemployment for more than three years? Yesh, let’s see Denver go through that and then we’ll talk about putting asses in seats.

What is Denver’s main industry beside Av’s fellating?
Actually Denver went out and recruited multiple industries so that it wouldn’t be dependent on one factor in the economy. Denver is the hub to Energy companies (CH2M Hill, Newmont Mining), Consumer (Coors), Telecom (Qwest, Dish TV), Defense (Ball Aerospace) and Governement (Bureau of Reclamation, Department of Energy – NOAA, NIST, NREL). This doesn’t even include tourism, which generates a lot of jobs for our ski slopes alone. CO has also recruited large branches of other industries fortune 500 companies here, such as Lockheed Martin, Avaya, United Airlines and other companies from a wide swath of .
This hedges Colorado against recession and keeps Colorado relatively thriving even in the worst of times. Unlike Detroit which is entirely dependent on the automobile industry.

It can be likewise noted that the Denver metro area has a population of close to 2.5 million people contained in about a 155 square mile city contrasted by Detroit which has close to 4.7 million people living in a 147 square mile area. This creates a larger demand because of both ease of accessibility and sheer volume. In fact, despite having a city half the size of Detroit, the Denver television market is only 5 slots back (11th vs 16th) as rated by the Nielsen rating system. Fans of the Avalanche, therefore, are much more inclined to view the games; however, the low accessibility (I, for example, live in Boulder and have to drive 45+ minutes to get to a game, and with all things considered a ticket generally costs close to $20 more due to lost time (at $10/hr) and gas money (close to $10 more).
Therefore, arguing that all things are equal between Denver and Detroit fans is false when low-price tickets can cost upwards of $60 for long distance commuters.

I’m a big fan of the justification of Zetterberg being better than Crosby because he beat his ass every time they play, how can you argue that. They play each other once during the regular season and maybe 4 – 7 times in the playoffs if they’re lucky. How can you not draw an accurate comparison from 5-8 games. Isn’t that why Belfour is considered a much better goalie than Roy, after all he beat him in the 99 playoffs so he HAS to be much better than Roy. Why is it every dumb rtard that watches hockey seems to be a Wings fan, and why is there so many of them in Australia as well. Although the Aussie ones are slightly smarter than the American ones I’ve found.

Well let’s see…about five more Cup celebrations before you ever have another in Denver.
Is that a good enough start for you? I’m sure with a name like “throatwarbler”, you’re kinda particular.
Hey, you gotta have something to celebrate once in a while in that shithole before the rest of the world finally does you a favor and nuke it, right?

Five more? Really?
So, Lidstrom is going to play until he’s 65 then?
Five more would be impressive. What would be more impressive is if “The Joe” can actually sell out a playoff game between now and then. Does “The Joe” still smell like urine and two month old body odor?
Well, no wonder “The Joe” can’t sell out a game. I mean, what can one expect from a city where a house can be bought for the price of a cup of coffee? Where half the city looks like a demilitarized zone.
It’s pretty sad when a team can’t even scrounge up enough bandwagon fans to sell out a playoff game.
Is it true that if one goes to Detroit with $200 cash they can buy half the town a live like royalty for at least three years?
Is the population of Detroit still going down? Well, I guess it’s true what they say about rats and ships.
I heard that forced relocation to Detroit is the punishment for murder in some parts of the world.
Although, I would like to see a picture of the inside of a Starbucks in Detroit. You know, the place the Detroit locals have started calling “Where the rich people hang out.”
Have fun in Detroit. America’s armpit.

Denver-metro has a fairly well diversified industry base, so one industry tanking will not clear out the town. A little prior planning will do that for you. That being said the economy sucks here too, albeit not nearly as bad as it does it Detroit.
Luxury Yacht made the criticism about Detroit not selling out playoff games in defense to your fellow commentators calling fans in Denver “bandwagoners” — a remark based on the Avs low attendance in the past year. How is it that the bad economy is and excuse for Detroit and not an excuse for the Avs?

I will respond to your question with one of my own. Do the Avs have ANY good players? When was the last time that even Hejduk broke 30 goals? That’s why you have to keep dredging up the memory of Sakic and Forsberg to have even a semi-reasonable comparison to Detroit’s current players. And, for all the talk of Forsberg’s “greatness” he will never makes the HHOF….this isn’t the NFL and 10-year careers don’t mean shit in this league.
As for you other posts about the wings not being able to sell out games…when was the last time the Avs sold out a game? ‘06? The closest the Pepsi center comes to a sellout crowd is when the Wings are in town and guys like me buck up the $40 to watch them stomp Foote’s teeth down his throat like that 8-2 travesty in the ‘08 playoffs.

The Avs sold out a few games this season. As well as all of the playoff games. Wings fans can’t say they did that.
I’ll bet it just makes you sick that the Colorado Avalanche hold the record for the longest sellout streak in history for North American sports. Not the Yankees. Not the Maple Leafs. Not the Lakers. Not the Dallas Cowboys. Certainly not the Red Wings. The Avs.

I didn’t ask for a math check. I asked for CURRENT players. You know what “current” means don’t you? But if you wanna dwell on math, how about some factual numbers: 11 >> 2. 2, that’s an interesting number for the Avs. Not only is it the number of cups the franchise has, it is also the number of times they have missed the playoffs in the past decade AND the number of times they have been swept in the first round in the last 5 years. But, seriously, still waiting for some “good” current players.

42…number of games the Dive played last year that led all 8 fans to really believe they were anything but barely mediocre? Number of games “Andie” played so far over his head that you actually thought he was an elite goaltender? Number of jerseys Denver will retire in the next 8 months? Seconds it took for Patty Roy to realize the puck was in the net behind him after his cute little Statue of Liberty move?
You’re in over your head. As usual.
Wow, you're good.
Actually, 42 is how many minutes it took both Osgood and Legace to figure out where they were after Patrick Roy kicked their ass at center ice.
42 is how many fans in “The Joe” turn around and act like a jackass every time the camera is on them during a home game.
42 is how many times Draper has sucker punched some guy from behind and ran away, last season alone.
42 years is how long the gap is the Wings went through without a Cup. Or do you not remember the Dead Things years? 1955-1997? Ring a bell? No, of course not.

Revisionist history. Despite what the half in the bag announcer said, Vernon kicked Waaah ass handlily. Who was bleeding all over the ice? Waaaaaaah was. Vernon destroyed him, watch the video Roy was bleeding like a pig from the left hook Vernon nailed him with.
Osgood? Roy got more punches in, but they were weak and most didn’t hit the target. It seemed like Roy was sparadically flailing while Osgood waited until Roy got tired, then Osgood got a few good hits in and Roy fell over with Osgood falling on top of him. It was a fairly even fight, Roy got more punches in, but Osgood got better punches.
Legace? Didn’t fight Waaaah.
As usual facts are not correct when looking through Avs colored glasses.

And Gumby (Hasek) couldn’t even stay on his feet long enough to fight Roy.
Did Vernon cut Roy? Or perhaps Roy was already bleeding after he was clothes lined by Shanahan? Shanahan clothes lined Roy and then jump on top of him for a while before Foote broken them apart, at which point Vernon decided to tag team Foote with Shanahan. Roy was skating away when he realized what Vernon was doing.
Osgood landed his first punch on Roy, and then nothing else. All he could do was grab and hold on until he was able to trip up Roy.
Also funny how the RedWings are willing to always fight at home.

Nah, actually that’s the number of years it’s going to take for Detroit to win a cup when Lidstrom retires due to the continued stress on the economy of Detroit by the auto market that reduces liquid income by the middle class (that is rapidly disappearing due to current fiscal policy) and the increasing prominence and popularity of other NHL teams that will cause FAs to sign away from the Red Wings.

You may ask…where were the wings ranked in this category? 3rd….yep..the Red wings sold 1.5 times as many tickets last year as the Avs (with 1 less home appearance, I might add). 97.4% home game attendance compared to that amazing 77.5% the Avs mustered. Avs fans must be proud of that apathetic showing.

1)I’m not bothered in the slightest and the fact that you bring it up shows how desparately you need something to hold onto. But it’s good that you can find something to be positive about. Oh and BTW..that streak isn’t so impressive when you look at the seating capacity of McNichols Arena (where much of that streak was set) 16,000 seats, seriously?
oh, and 2) It’s not true. Portland Trail Blazers: 814 consecutive sellouts from ’77 to ’95
and as long as we are counting low-capacity venues (like McNichols): Dayton Dragons (yes, Soccer is a professional sport): over 700 sellouts and counting
You’re welcome to try again, but I would prefer keeping the discussion on the topic of hockey teams, skill, championships, awards, etc. considering this IS a hockey site and that’s what I came to talk about.
PS: Yes, I am aware that it is the HHOF, that’s why I used that acronym. I was referring to the HHOF’s tendency to ignore players who had short careers (e.g. Lindros) and Forsberg’ short NHL career with significan flloff in the latter years, plus a few years in the minors aren’t going to set the voter’s hearts aflutter.

Dead Rivalry
A rivalry dies when one of the two teams no longer gives a crap about the other and Detroit has not given a crap about Colorado for years. The level of competition isn’t there and the blood feud tensions aren’t either with almost 100% of the players who were involved in the epic battles and fights no longer on either team.
Just say thanks for Kyle Quincy, move on and leave the Red Wings out of your delusional fantasies.
The team, the city and the fans of Detroit don’t give two shits about the Avs.

You actually mention the Avs on your SBnation profile
It’s hard to get more butthurt than that.

Summary
Detroit blogger comically and stereotypically overreacts to perceived slight by the media, without acknowledging that said media member also completely overrated other Detroit player (Datsyuk).
Rival laughs at ensuing Detroit temper-tantrum
Said Detroit blogger somehow interprets that as rival fans are hurt, when in fact we’re laughing at the fact they have the emotional stability of a Justin Bieber fan.
Detroit blogger then rallies the blockhead battalion who respond with $10 anger & 10¢ intelligence
Blockhead battalion claims rivalry is dead on rivals blog, without any hint of irony.

So, I was away all weekend, what did I miss?
Don’t forget said blogger doesn’t even think he’s good enough for the name of his own blog. Thus ’Excluding Zetterberg." for you newcomers.

I also forgot
he wrote another full blog post, partially aimed at how obsessed Avs fans are with the Red Wings… since this appears on the front page and all.

Man, you guys suck as trolls. It’s the same predictable things over and over again (though I do admit the Michigan water thing was pretty unexpected and hilarious, so props on making me laugh on that). You guys wage internet warfare like it’s 1990.
I spent more effort eating a pudding than Tyler Arnason skated last year.
Zetterberg has owned Thid’s ass in every single man on punk matchup they’ve had.
I knew Detroit fans were retarded, but I wasn’t expecting them to actually deny the 09 Stanley Cup finals!

Summary:
Fuck detroit and their tweenish prima donna fans. I bet their fans all wear twilight shirts under their jerseys to the game.
