Fellow Detroit Haters: Assemble!!!
I'm usually one to stick to my SBN home over at St. Louis Game Time, but I come with an offer you can't refuse!
Over at Game Time, we like to mix things up as much as we can, via Project Mayhem. Currently, our efforts are being focused on ESPN America's current internet vote. The topic: which game they will air live on Friday November 27th. The options: Redwings vs. Flames and Thrashers vs. Hurricanes. Now, we Blues fans have a saying that we like to use quite often. However, since I'm a guest here and don't know PensBurgh's stance on language, I'll translate it to Swedish: "Fan Ta Detroit!" Which is exactly what we're trying to do. This poll was pretty stacked in the Evil Empire's favor (when we found it last weekend, it was about 78-22), but we still have a bit of ground to make up: last time I checked, it was 59.58-40.42. My fellow GTers and I have already posted this at Canes Country, The Copper and Blue, Mile High Hockey, Anaheim Calling, Second City Hockey, Fear the Fin, and Defending Big D (and possibly Birdwatchers Anonymous and Pension Plan Puppets, I’m not 100% sure on those), but we still want nay, NEED your help, Pens fans! We know you guys love to hate the Redwings just as much as us, and while we’re in different conferences and our interests don’t coincide very often, this is the perfect time for us to come together fight a common enemy: the European Redwing fan!
For those of you who don't know, ESPN America is an international channel, so no one in North America will be affected, but if any Detroit fan in Europe has a terrible evening because they don't get to watch their team play, then really, don't we ALL win?
Here's the poll (right side of the screen, might need a little scrolling).
Fan Ta Detroit!
PS – I hear other than the recent injury, Jay McKee has been a bit of a hit at The Igloo – glad that worked out well for the both of us!

Never realized that part of the network existed. Either way, I’m happy to help. :)

Well, Game Time did discover it.
Cruel and amusing is kind of our M.O.
Reporter: There`s a "stamp out the Beatles movement" underway in Detroit. What are you going to do about it?
Paul McCartney: We`re going to start a campaign to stamp out Detroit.

When I’m at home that’s my default channel for North American sports, voted aginst the Whiny Wings. For regular Pens season games I often have to resort to feeds but playoff games are live and in HD :)
There is a knack to flying: it's learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.

I voted, but we’re not doing so good I saw… something like 60-40 in favor of the DET game…
I couldn’t care less since my cable provider wouldn’t include ESPN America in the package even if I wanted to pay for it… boo!
You have to see it for yourself...

I can’t participate ‘cause I’m married to a Wings fan, who is the one who introduced me to hockey in the first place. But it’s good to learn how to tell half the Wings players what you think of them in their native language, so thanks!

Voted for ATL/CAR.
Poll shows 61.36% in favor of CAL/DET though.
I would be interested to learn how Flames fans are taking this. I mean, if this had succeeded, the Flames would have become collateral damage due to the Detroit hate.
