Interesting vid, that. FWIW... I labored through the lean years as a Wings fan, coming to the party in 1985 and leaving it... physically... when I moved from Detroit to Rochester, NY in 1996. True to form, the Wings won their first Cup in 40-something years the next season, and I had to watch it on teevee. Worse, one of my BEST friends had to send me pictures of her and her honey at a local dive-bar (one of my FAVORITE watering holes) drinking from the Cup while we were stuck in Ra-cha-cha. (Sigh)
No matter. We remain a fan of the Winged Wheel, wherever I might find myself. Which is not to say there haven't been glorious moments in the interim, like that night in SFO in 2002 when the Wings eliminated the Once-Hated Avalanche (now I feel only pity for a once great club fallen on hard times) in Game Seven of the Western Conference Finals and went on to take the Cup. The BEST moment of that playoff year? Sitting in a sports bar in SFO with other Wings expats while watching a beleaguered Avs fan rip off his Patrick Roy jersey and stomp it when the horn sounded to end Game Seven of the Western Conference Finals. The Wings won and were off to the SCF... everything after that moment was anti-climatic.
H/t for the vid: the inimitable Kukla's Korner.
