We're all Wings fans through good and bad.
I have been a fan over 63 years
I have been a fan over 63 years
I am now 70 and can remember watching Gordie Howe, Sawchuk, Delvecchio. Lindsay, Ullman in the late 50's early 60's on Hockey Night in Canada. In those days of course it was black and white TV.I voted 30 but it's more like 28-29
Basically the entire time I've been making memories I've liked watching the Wings, my mom says I was always glued to the TV watching the Wings and Packers when I was 6-10 and that has continued my whole life.
Been a fan since the 92/93 season when I started following the NHL. I got into it because of NHLPA Hockey on the Mega Drive. I already had a Red Wings cap, so of course I played with the Wings and that's how I started following them.
Living in Norway, it was hard to watch games. Nearly impossible. One or two live games a week on a Swedish channel, Femman, iirc, but all of the SC Finals were live. Had to check teletext before I left for school for results and box scores. Page 302-304 on SVT(I am sure those in Sweden can relate). Point leaders were updated once a week.
I believe you have to be a member for 45 days before you can vote in polls.It's been 61 years this year, one of the few in my hometown, mostly Habs, Leafs or Bruins growing up as they were the closest teams back in those days. The Habs used to have their Fall training camps here and for a few years their AHL team, so we always got a few exhibition games at our local rink back then. The younger folks tend to be more Pens, Avs or Bruins given the local guys on those teams, but there are still some wings fans to be found.
BTW, I was unable to vote, so I'll have to do some settings diving to see why not
OK, thanksI believe you have to be a member for 45 days before you can vote in polls.
