[QUOTE="iceteebone, post: 3484475, member: 549344"] The Red Wings still draw pretty big crowds. For some reason after the strike I really lost interest in hockey. The Red Wings ranked 2nd behind the Tigers in my interest, now it goes Tigers>Lions>Pistons>Red Wings. I miss the rivalry between Detroit and Colorado, and even Dallas. I have a lot of relatives that live in Minneapolis and when I go there, I just don't get the sense it's a hockey town. It seems as if I were to ask people if Minnesota has a hockey team, they wouldn't know. Seemed to be a lot of Viking people. I think in large part Hockeytown Cafe turned into a Tigers bar is because it's right across the street from Comerica. This past season it seemed like the Red Wings took a back seat. There was more coverage on the Pistons playoffs, and more to do about the Tigers opening up, then the Red Wings playoffs. I think it has more to do that Detroit has more upper tier teams now then in the 90's when it was just the Red Wings really. [/QUOTE]
