Detroit Red Wings Couldn’t sell-out home opener.

[MVP Zacha]

OMG move them to Canada. Oh wait... the taxes!

 

[Oddbob]

Wow, people blow things out of proportion over nothing.

 

[Hockeyfan2390]

Agreed.

“Hockeytown” my ass.

Still 10x more popular in their respective state, the country, and Canada than the Penguins are in theirs.

6:08 first pitch that had the biggest attendance in Comerica history a block away, vs 7:00 puck drop of an October hockey game.

Huge nothing burger and still the best hockey city in the USA

My favorite hockey fan trope is when they look down on other sports and fans of other sports.

I'm only into hockey myself, but stop dumping on Baseball fans.

Quebec City is looking for a team.

Watch the playoffs this year, really try and get into it. Each pitch matters, the intensity is very entertaining.

Regular season baseball I'm right there with ya. Couldn't be more boring.

Intensity? In Boreball? We must have different definitions of the word intensity.

I wouldn’t pay to watch our defense either

Last time the Tigers were in the playoffs, they played an ALCS game against the Red Sox at the same time the Red Wings hosted a Tuesday night game against Columbus — not the home opener, just a throwaway October game. The Wings game still sold out.

Say what you will about distraction, but 2000 empty seats at the home opener is a huge step backward from what the Wings once were. That team needs to get its act together before it gets worse.

I mean not really.

The team is in zero risk of ever being moved

I don’t think anyone believes there’s a risk of it getting moved?

It’s more just a really unhealthy situation for the fanbase and local hockey community.

Boreball? What are you, 12 years old?

@x Tame Impala graduated suma cum laude from the Bobby Ryan Academy of Intensity, so you are bang on there

 

[TheDoldrums]

Credit to the Wings fans for being smart. They recognize last years playoff race was fueled by unsustainable percentages and a regression was imminent. They’ve lost faith in the Yzerplan and are furious local superstar Quinn Hughes is playing elsewhere. Wings fans recognize this team isn’t worth supporting and are speaking with their wallets.

 

[End on a Hinote]

Oh for crying out loud. The team is trash, the Tigers are in the playoffs, it was a weekday and they still had over 90% attendance.

I see zero issues, here.
