THIS IS A HOCKEY TOWN
Detroit, Michigan is not Hockeytown.
Every Canadian city is Hockeytown. Calgary, Alberta, Canada is Hockeytown right now. As David said, the Saddledome crowd was nuts. One thing that I have to do in my lifetime is to attend a Stanley Cup playoff game in Canada. But I'll probably settle for a Nashville Predators game in 2004-2005 for the time being. However, that's not here or now.
Having a Canadian team in the Stanley Cup Finals is great. This is Canada's game, not America's game, although ESPN has forcefed us these promos since October that hockey was "made in America." Screw them.
On a sidenote, did anybody see the report Al Morganti did on Sportscenter before Game 3 with the Tampa Bay Lightning Ice Girls? The Ice Girls were playing beach hockey. That's right, beach hockey.
Barry Melrose after the report:
"The only way that piece could have been better would have been if they had played shirts and skins."
Anyways, I finally saw "Miracle". It's a great movie. Kurt Russell was incredible as Herb Brooks.
Game 4 on Monday night in the Saddledome. BACK IN THE SADDLE AGAIN...
