Anyways, back on track.... people hate PHX for numerous reasons, and people love it for numerous reasons. Its just like any other place on earth.

Ah, the ONE thing where Detroit shames Chicago (Wings are unparalleled in the league) is what Chicagoans chant 'Drtroit Sucks" to. I could see if you were driving through Detroit and chanted it, but not at the Wings.

Steve-O, I notice you sprung for the good seats.

Oh my gosh! Oh my Goodness!

What is this link to...hmmm...???


ESPN - NHL Standings, Pro Hockey Standings, National Hockey League Standings and Team Records


I know, it must be hard to be behind even a team from the desert! I hate to rub salt in your open wounds...but...


NHL STANDINGS:

DETROIT 46 - 18
PHOENIX 35 - 30
CHICAGO 33 - 30

Love ya babe!

(Don't pick on the Wings...they're all we got!)

Yeah, well, the Wangs trounce EVERYONE, not just Chicago. And we still have beaten you more times this year than ever before.

And yes, Im always up in the 300s, the ONLY place/way to see a Hawks game. You dont see Wang fans up there hardly ever, theyre smart to not the visit the 300s.

Back on topic now....

PHX usually ranks around Chicago every year, the standings are almost identical year after year. Thats not saying much though. Anyways, both PHX and CHI have potential to go far next year, alot of young talent. We just need Bryzgalov from PHX for Khabibulin and we can call it a deal.

Anyways, have fun choking in the first round. Again.

And BTW, you wont "have" the Wangs once you move to PHX. Youll be stuck watching them at the lame Jobring Arena, wishing you were back at the Joe, deep in "Hockeytown", surrounded by nothing but Wang fans.

LOL! It's a sacrifice I am willing to make!! LOL!

About the first round, well at least we get there...don't we.


How 'bout Coney Islands...does Phoenix have many of them?

[Sunvixen]

Oh, you guys! I THOUGHT we were on the DETROIT/PHOENIX thread this whole time. Oops.

Sunvixen quietly slips out the thread door...

In the 90's, 300 level or not, all I had was Wangs fans around me at United Center. But, I hear I would have wanted to avoid Chicago Stadium.

The Coyotes are a decent team this year, but they don't draw well except when the Wings are here. They just need a few successful seasons behind them. Here, lots of mullet-heads DON'T like hockey.

Ok, there are definitely some strong feelings here! For the record, compared to other cities its size Phoenix does not have many of the same attractions. However, that's what makes it Phoenix, it's different. I would agree that the normal mesh of culture you would expect in a city of this is not here, yet, but that will come. What Phoenix does have is an outdoor enthusiasts haven. You are never more than 10 minutes from great biking or hiking trails and are just about guaranteed sunshine every day! That alone is a huge plus. The weather is pretty consistent, and while it does get hot, it is bearable if you're willing to make the necessary adjustments. Phoenix, to me, is an up and coming city that will continue to grow largely because of the weather and opportunity.

Ive lived out there and cant say I 'hate' it, but its just not home. Way too many people. Im a small town girl and no matter whether it was L.A., Chicago, Settle, they are okay to visit but I wouldnt live there either. I hate crowds and large populations.
