1. We all like Don Cherry up here. Many of us here in Eastern Michigan get CBC out of our neighbor to the South, Windsor. (Windsor is South of Detroit). While our first choice is the local broadcasters Ken Daniels and Mickey Redmond, when we have a choice between a Wings game on VS/ESPN/NBC or CBC, most of us will watch CBC. They cover the game better. The ratings for CBC when the wings play is higher than it is for the national American announcers for a good reason. VS coverage sucks.

2. The economy though is a problem. I don't have $80 extra to spend on a playoff Wings ticket in the upper bowl.

I couldn’t stomach Dave Strader and Mickey Redmond. Redmond, especially. My friends that were hard-core fans said I was being irrational, and I probably was. But I used to watch the games on the TV with the sound off and listen to the radio broadcast.
