Seeing Red?

My ex-roommate just passed this along to me, and having read it, I'd just like to thank Michael Rosenberg of the Detroit Free Press on behalf of all Red Wings fans out there for this little gem that, for some reason, no one else seemed to have the balls to say:

"Bertuzzi practiced well enough Saturday. Is he ready to "Join the Red Wave," as the marketers say? And speaking of which: As we discuss all the reasons the Wings are struggling to sell out, let's add this: PEOPLE ARE TIRED OF THESE STUPID RED-THEMED PLAY-OFF SLOGANS. Get Your Red On, Red Storm Rising, Turn On the Red Light, Let 'Em See Red, The State of Michigan Is In the Red. I am sorry to say I only made one of those up. Enough already.

Anyway, Babcock arrived at his Saturday news conference...."

I mean seriously, can't we come up with something better? Or at least less cheesy? What, for that matter, is the problem with LET'S GO WINGS? Catch the rest of the article here, though the rest of it is a little outdated, being pre-Game 2.

I'm going to catch tonight's game on a real live TV for once - so let's hope it makes the travel worth my while. Tonight's the night we know if we might have a real series, or if the Flames are going golfing sooner rather than later.

GO WINGS! FLAMES SUCK-a-rooni-dooni!
