It has been hard but I have had it. I don't like the yankees much and thats what the wings have turned into. They are making hockey into a joke even though luckily the devils and avalanche have been winning. Illitch has been kind enough to open up his checkbook to get whoever he wants the past 8 years. The fact that almost everyone is a fan since 97 makes me sick. Its not the kind of fan following that canadien fans have for their teams, its called liking the team of the moment. Most people don't even know who they played in 95 western confrerence finals and don't understand the chicago-detroit rivalry. It's like hello, back in the day, the wings and blackhawks were THE rivalry for the wings. Now I am a very educated hockey fan but not a fan of any particular team.
The wings weren't playing well in 92 when I think they got swepted by Chicago that year. Only liking the team when they have played well? Tell me...when did you start being a fan?
