On the wagon - The Fans Speak Out - Letter to the Editor

Hockey Digest, Dec, 2002 by M. Endicott

I could not believe my eyes when I received my first HOCKEY "hard to" DIGEST of the 2002-03 season and saw Nicklas Lidstrom on the cover. Jump on the bandwagon, is about all I can say. All last season all you could talk about was how old the Red Wings, the best hockey team in the world, were. Now that they are once again the holders of the Cup, here you come.

You people are pathetic. Although it's obvious you all are Colorado Avalanche fans by the way you guys are always praising "Wah-Wah" (the biggest cry-baby in the league, Patrick Roy), how could you pick the Avs to win it all this year? Come on guys, you know as well as I do that's not going to happen. Also, Roy as player of the year? Please be realistic. If anyone should have been voted player of the year, it should have been Steve Yzerman, who played injured most of the playoffs.
