To Our Red Wings Visitors From Yesterday

PrintIt took me a while to figure out exactly what I disliked the most about your comments in our GDT here yesterday, Chief.
But I finally figured it out. You don't like our attitude and the free use of the 'Fuck Detroit' slogan that goes on around here. But you know what? No one here ever made it personal.
Except you.
No one here said 'Fuck you' to someone over a game.
Except you.
No one called anyone else an asshole over a game.
Except you.
Do us a favor, a2m, and retreat back over to the KK(K) site you piggyback off of and stay there. You can't swear over there* or apparently really let loose like you want to, so you have to come over here to do so, but we don't want you here either.
Our readers started this Fuck Detroit thing and yes, they celebrate it, but at least it's never personal. Any fan of any other team who can come here and show that they get the give-and-take end up be being welcomed by the community. Clearly, that's not your style, so do us a favor and just go. Get lost; we look forward to you not showing your face here once the cycle inevitably turns and you're no longer backing the front-runner.
Also, to all of our readers, don't even bother going to this guy's site. He's just trying to drive traffic by being a dick. Don't give him the numbers or the satisfaction.
*except for the transparent and therefore completely ridiculous and childish 'sh*t' and 'f**k' that you had to revert to in your crybaby rant from the other day. Nice Weak effort.

Do you like this story?

Agreed
On a secondary note, I’d like to bring up that Detroit sucks as a city because of what their companies have done to St. Louis. Look at all the people who are out of work that lost their job because Daimler Chrysler wanted to close down the Fenton plant and send the mini van plant to Canada. CANADA!!! Motor city is a traitor to the USA.
At least we’ve got the 06 World Series and not them.
ummm
i think i might have made it a little personal, and i apologize, i seem to fuck up any attempt this site makes to be civil towards others
-sorry again
You say 'Tomato', I say 'FUCK DETROIT', so lets call the season off
so what youre saying then
is that if i were to decide to come out of ‘retirement’, that would be the site to pay a visit to
You say 'Tomato', I say 'FUCK DETROIT', so lets call the season off
Haven't you ever heard of "plausible deniability"?
….be careful out there.

I try to stay above all the "F Detroit" stuff...
…but that assbandit abel2yzerman and his site can both go suck a big, thick, pus-pimple-poppin’ donkey dick.
He did make it personal, and that’s just completely uncool.
Hell, the Blackhawk guys get it, the Shark guys get it, the Vancouver guys get it… these Detroit jerkwads and their sense of entitlement, and their living vicarously through the accomplishments of their team full of diving, whining, assclown punks, can lightly circle my feces-encrusted anal sphincter with their collective tongues.
And yeah, I’ll sign my name to this.

Tell us how you *really* feel.
Seriously, you guys are right. They can’t take good-natured (or whatever we are) ribbing. That’s what makes hockey and sports fun. We all have teams that we hate, but it’s the teams, not the fans. And we poke at the TEAMS, not the individuals. I know some Cub fans. There are people here that are Cubbie fans. I hate the Cubs. I will tease them about the fact that they support the Cubs. Do I call them nasty names? No, because I don’t appreciate being called names for being a Cards fan. I don’t heckle fans of other teams because I’ve been heckled at Thrashers game for wearing Blues stuff (sad, I know), and I don’t like it.
The Chicago people, and the Sharks folks, and everyone else who shows up here for some jobbing back and forth know that it’s all in good fun. The Wings fans are too hyper sensitive to really understand that. They’re the Yankee fans of the NHL. Selective memory leads you to think that you’re better than you really are.
Reporter: There`s a "stamp out the Beatles movement" underway in Detroit. What are you going to do about it?
Paul McCartney: We`re going to start a campaign to stamp out Detroit.
exactly
i loathe the cubs, however several of my closest friends pull for the baby bears. we joke back and forth but it never gets personal.
i dont mind trash talk or friendly banter. the sharks field trip was a perfect example. no one was ever like “hey fuck you ______” it was always “damn sharks” or “stupid blues.”
I called him a troll.
I think I’d do well to leave it at that.
Not because I don’t FEEL like calling him other names . . . but because this douchebag isn’t worth the extra effort.

Done.
What asshats.
a2m is classic like the four dipshits near my seats yesterday. I get there early and there are 4 Detoileters a row up from me (3 “dudes” & 1 heroin skank). Skank throws her tray of trash behind her into my row (too good to use a trash can or put it under her own damn seat, I guess). Two of the dudes have the balls to wear the sweater (Zetterturd and Datsuk, nonetheless). Dude #3 is wearing something red (looks like jersey material), but never removes his coat. They have muted squeals of delight during each of the first three goals. When the final goal is scored and Drinkscotch empties, these 3 smegheads and 1 smegcrotch join in on a “Let’s go Red Wings” chant with less than a minute left. Wow, superfans! They get really ballsy, like a2m, when the game’s out of reach and the chances of a personal ass beating is non-existent.
While reading the GDT, I think the other guy is a punk, too. This post caught my eye (after being a total dick in every other post, the guy says the following):
==
Alright…I’m out of here. And in all seriousness…good luck. Would love to see the Wings play the Blues in the 1st round.
by GabrielP on Mar 14, 2009 12:43 PM CDT
==
ImmodiumAD trolls just as hard as a2m, then thinks about it for a minute and decides the Wings’ best first round chance to advance would be the Blues. This is a back-handed compliment, not a real compliment.
Let's go Blues!!!
Ya, I heard them too...
and the same thoughts went through my mind while they were chanting when there was no way to even make it close.
I was over in 318 and heard them, I hate it when it is that quite at the end of a game. Bad sign…bad sign indeed.
What losers…
Oh..and FUCK Detroit.
Oh, GabrielIP, so witty.
He’s the same guy that kept saying ‘classy’ about everything.
Name one thing anywhere that is classy on the internet.
Plus, as my mom used to say, “anyone who uses the word classy, isn’t.”
FUCK DETROIT
Hey, don’t underestimate them corkheads from Chicago. They are just as goofy as Detroit Fans. Doom on all them and their dogs too.
Life is relevant. You can put your hands on a hot stove and a fraction of a second seems like hours. Yet you can put your hands on a hot woman and hours seem to turn into seconds.
At least some of the folks from Chicago . . .
have some type of a sense of humor about things.
I still think their hockey team can go suck on the tailpipe of a ‘74 Nova. But that’s another story for another time.

Whoa...Really?
Wow. “Asshole” really hurt that badly? Are you gonna be ok Gallagher? I’ve been reading Game Time for at least the last couple years, and not just to work myself into some sort of pissed off lather. The writing is typically good and you guys usually make some decent, and even funny, points.
Until the Wings enter the equation…then the bitterness comes back out and it never gets “personal” right?
Leaving a comment here after the Wings won was, admittedly, not classy…as if that’s some sort of new requirement here, at my place or practically anywhere. But spare me the self-righteous act Gallagher. And as far as driving traffic anywhere…I couldn’t care less about it, and anyone who actually reads my blog knows that.
So, yeah. I’ll stand by my original statement. Fuck Detroit? Nope. Fuck you…but it’s a light-hearted fuck you.
"and not just to work myself into some sort of pissed off lather"
riiiight
It’s been three days…
Maybe you should relax, go outside, and enjoy some warehouse pond hockey where you can use a frozen corpse for goal posts. : )

Excellent Point
Thought you might enjoy this. I know I did.
“It was a rolling puck I picked up in the neutral zone,” Yzerman told ESPN.com on Tuesday. "I think that was the second overtime and I remember thinking in the first overtime, ’I’m just going to start shooting the puck from wherever. I’m tired and they’re not calling penalties.’
“The defensemen were just wrapping us up. I wasn’t getting a whole lot done, so I decided to start shooting all the time. So I picked the puck up in the neutral zone, I think Murray Baron was the defenseman, and I thought, ‘Just shoot it and try to get it past his feet and not hit him.’ Sure enough, I found a clear path and it found the top corner. It was kind of a lucky shot because I was just trying not to get it blocked. That was my only playoff overtime goal.”
I couldn't be more over this.
If I thought your ‘fuck you’ felt lighthearted I wouldn’t have posted this in the first place.
But again, whatever. Feel free to come by and disprove all of our comments about Wings fans anytime you want. You can start whenever you feel like it.
The insecurity...
… is interesting. You have the top team in the league currently, are the current Cup winners, and some of the best lines in hockey. And yet… and yet… here you are, at STLGT, making comments about the Blues and their fans like our vitrol should BOTHER you?
Why would it? Why should you let it? I’m a bit confused. You’re good. Own it, but stop being all insecure and paranoid when other teams and their fans tease you guys, call names, whatev.
We’re having fun. We don’t have the pressure of having some weird “rep” to maintain, so we have a blast with our underdog status. Get a sense of humor and have fun with your Cup.
And read that last line however you want to, but it’s lighthearted.

Epic WIN!
I love it. This is starting to look like the beginnings of a WCW-NWO type feud.
(those of you who weren’t wrestling fans back in the late 90’s wouldn’t have a damn clue what I’m talking about here)

Wraslin?...
Umm…my guess, even though I didn’t watch at all is:
WCW = World Championship Wraaassslin…
NWO = New World Order….
No wiki or google searches either…
Is that it?
Damnit. It's like you're putting me on the spot or something.
Well . . . fine. Here. The whole history of the WCW.

You can sum up the whole history of WCW in five words...
Sting.
Is.
The.
Fucking.
MAN!!!

Ahhhh yes . . . "Steve Borden".
If I were born with a name like that, I’d do ANYTHING to change it to something else.
He was the awesome.
"The world is getting to be such a dangerous place, a man is lucky to get out of it alive." -- W.C. Fields
yes, Sting was the shit.
btw, I highly recommend avoiding like the plague the “Sting: Moment of Truth” movie. it’s an hour and a half of pure garbage, and you’ll never get those 96 minutes back
My brother being the rasslin' fan he is . . . (I gave up on it 10 years ago)
I think he bought it. And said something similar.

and now we add the UK to our international roster of Blues fans?
We have Sweden, The Netherlands, and now the UK. Tomorrow, the WORLD!!!!!

Forgot the evil laugh.
Come on man, can never forget the evil laugh.
Used to be Aaron, but some douchebag Celtics fan has that one already.

Even an Irishman like me . . .
can appreciate the Blues love from England.

Yes..
Blues fans are everywhere!
I AM in the UK – Cornwall to be precise. Never visited the US at all…but hoping to rectify that next season when I stay with friends in Anaheim…and coincide my visit for the time the Blues are out on the West Coast. About time I actually saw them play in the flesh for the first time!

Wow - you've never been here but you like the Blues?
You, sir, have excellent taste! How, if I might ask, did you come to be a Blues fan?
Reporter: There`s a "stamp out the Beatles movement" underway in Detroit. What are you going to do about it?
Paul McCartney: We`re going to start a campaign to stamp out Detroit.
LOL
Actually I’m a “she”. But it was my Anaheim friend who introduced me to hockey a few years ago – she kept on and on about how I’d love it if I gave it a chance. So I watched a game on tv – and over here then we had one game a week on a Wednesday that started at 1am!
I checked out a game – and it turned out to be a Blues v Red Wings game. Red Wings won – but I just loved the way the Blues played – they obviously didn’t have the “skill set” of some of the wings players but they never gave up and worked their butts off.
I watched a few more games – other teams – but none of them seemed to have what the Blues had – none of the other teams “clicked” with me. A few weeks later, I caught another Blues game…and realised I had found my team.
LOL My Anaheim friend wasn’t exactly impressed…

Sorry! I'm a girl too...
You’d think we’d be able to sense our own. You apparently have very sophisticated taste in hockey to know you needed to hate the Wings ASAP. Welcome to the fold!
Reporter: There`s a "stamp out the Beatles movement" underway in Detroit. What are you going to do about it?
Paul McCartney: We`re going to start a campaign to stamp out Detroit.
LOL
The Wings hatred was like some kind of race memory – all it needed was a trigger and kablam.

This is so awesome
If the time difference is not so great, you must join us for a game day thread (GDT). There is usually a online stream posted early on, so you can watch.

I think she'll be up with Marcus
It’s a 5 or 6 hour time difference.
Makes for a late night or early morning
LOL
I’d love to join you – but the game starts at 12.30am here UK time (and our clocks go forward on Sunday so games will be yet later next week).
Afraid it’s going to have to be a Friday or Saturday game for me to join in!
