when my advisor from MI found out I'm an Avs fan, I was so confused why he was like "ugh ok :/" but during the final he was like "I grew up in Detroit in the 90s, I can't support the Avs...but you do have 3 UMich guys, Compher, Cogliano, & Johnson, and you signed Helm, you know he was a Wing for 15 years? so maybe I can... get over my grudge a little" You guys are so funny, I didn't even know about the feud until you mentioned it. Also do all UM alum know every former Wolverine in the NHL???
aldhsksjaks me 🤝 your advisor during the final,,, every detroit fan i know was having the mental debate of “okay i KNOW tampa is a product of the yzerplan but helmer is on the avs now 🥺 and they have umich alum but also. it’s colorado”
and personally speaking from experience all michigan hockey fans have an encyclopedic knowledge of players who have ever once been affiliated with the detroit red wings or mi college hockey teams, so. we Do Not Let Go
