Can I at least get someone's defense of those Wild uniforms?

Just saying it's funny to hear people arguing about who's got more of a hockey culture or players between Minnesota or Michigan when a Canadian province like Saskatchewan usually produces over two times more NHL players than either despite having a population about the same size as Rhode Island.

And for the record, Minnesota probably wins in terms of the most devotion to hockey at all levels in the US--though at the same time, it in itself is a step behind pretty much anywhere in Canada outside the Atlantic provinces.
Well of course. But if you are going to bring Canada into the mix then you have to bring in Russia, Finland, and Sweden.

I'm not crazy for the red ones, these are awesome though.

Not that it really makes a state any better at hockey.

This is actually true. Detroit has ALWAYS been a football town first and foremost. I give you props for knowing that.

That doesn't bolster anything you're trying to put across, though. It's just another feather in the cap that proves Michigan is king of the sports universe.

Haha you crack me up. Minnesota is better at hockey and baseball. Michigan is better at football and probably basketball.
