I live in NC – Canes won the cup in 2006 and they are leading the Current Division with 2 of the Original Six in it – Detroit and Chicago. Hockey is called a ‘niche’ sport because of thinking like yours. If you live in FLA – go to a Tampa vs Detroit Game some night and you’ll see as many Winged Wheel sweaters in the seats as Bolts sweaters – funny thing – those same DRW fans will show up in their Bolt sweaters when they are playing another team. Same in Carolina – we have just as many season ticket holders that show up in their ‘home team’ sweaters from places like Boston, NYR, NYI one game and Canes sweaters another. Check out how many NHL and NCAA players are now coming from states like AZ, FL, TX because of the expansion teams. Where exactly did Auston Matthews learn to play hockey??? Yep, Phoenix Arizona – home of the worst managed franchise in the league and another barn where when Detroit comes to play – the building fills with Red Wing fans. Can’t wait for this season’s crazy finals – hoping for a Canes/Avs SCF. Let’s Go CANES!!!!
Jef’s strip is always one of my favorites and today’s is no different – we always post fun Friday pictures on our Team Space in Webex at work. I am biased about Jef’s work though – we went to HS together. :-)
