You know a city is awesome when....

The beautiful city of detriot? Its the murder capital of the world.

and you can't even call yourself "Hockey Town" anymore, sure you have a good team, but it doesn't show in your fan base.

Teams with greater fans than detriot:

1. Pittsburgh
2. Montreal
3. Ottawa
4. Philly

Detriot is about as much as a hockeytown as pheonix or san jose

have you ever been to detroit? you seem to spew the same tired drivel that others who have never been there say. i don't know how hockey mad those cities are because i have never been there but to say that detroit fans are on par with phoenix fans shows stupidity on your part.

hell, you can't even spell detroit.

?????????????????????????????????????

He chose to play on a great team and get a great chance at the cup. He did not choose that smelly hole of a city.  The crime levels are ridiculous and the morons keep voting in the same corrupt politicians who have programmed the state to death. While the rest of the country was growing, they were in recession. Now the country is in recession and they are dying. He made a business move and is taking a shot. Best of luck to him.

Who books your hotel s for you whe you go to Detroit??????  The greektown area and riverfront area are all clean and safe places.  If you go a little outside of the city it is one of the wealthier places in the country by average salary.  Maybe instead of being so cheat and getting that 29.99 hotel room, you should go for a nicer place and you might not have to deal with the bad part of town.

Why did he not stay in Pittsburg if its so great there.  They made it to the finals to and seem to have a goo young core.  Oh, wait, cause Pittsburg has nothing going for it either as far as the town goes....
