Should Detroit Complain that Windsor is too Quiet?

Strictly a guess but I would say it would be about 3-1 in favor of the Wings. I never understood the loyalty to a city's team just because it's in your province/country. Seattle had at least 50% Jays fans at the Mariners games all weekend and yet Vancouverites hate all things Toronto. Why not cheer for the local team, the Mariners, when you can go to the games in a couple of hours drive as well as see them on tv?

I think this is the case in most places, but it depends a great deal on how you're brought up. As mentioned earlier, the wings fans outnumber others in Windsor. I'd also point out all the Tigers fans in NW Ohio. Then we have the Phoenix Coyotes. They have fans, but many of those fans put on the winged wheel when the Red Wings come to town.
