Exactly. The spot could also have said "You can join fans of the Red Wings who have been there before 1998 like... well, there's.... uhhh....."
hey now. I've at least been a die hard fan since they drafted Yzerman in 1983 to end the dead wings era. when it was Cicarelli and not Holmstrom. When it was Probert not uh.. McCarty? Downey? We'll go with Downey. Way back when they still had lockouts even! I mean there hasn't been one of those since 94... I mean 04? Back when Yzerman was as scorer and not the best two way center and captain to ever live. Back when Gretzky still made plays to Kurri. Before Fedorov came to the wings and threw his career away for an extra million. Back when Bure was an up and coming star and not a "I s'd too many d's on my knees and screwed both of them up so bad I can't play" Back when Selanne scored like 70 goals in his rookie year. WAY back when Patrick Roy and his kids weren't hated by most people who follow not just the NHL. Back when LaPointe didn't take stupid penalties every shift. Oh wait he always did that. If you're still reading this I pity you.
