Hockeytown, eh?

So the Detroit Red Wings raised ticket prices for their playoff games (upper-bowl tickets doubled), and consequently fans didn’t show up:
But the sight of so many empty red seats at Joe Louis Arena in the Wings 4-1 victory against the Calgary Flames on Thursday evening was sad. Good old Bud Lynch, the Wings long-time public address announcer, declared the crowd for the series opener at 19,204, which is more than 800 fans from JLA’s 20,066-seat capacity.
Detroit ought to be forced to remove the HOCKEYTOWN logo from their ice for trying to shit on the fans that make Hockeytown what it is.

Well, hey, I’d be more upset if there was actually some hockey being played at JLA. Unfortunately, the Wings have been hitting the ice alone only to win the games by default.
It’s too bad. I remember when Calgary had a hockey team. I think that was back in the late 80s. It’s a shame we lost the franchise.
