Yes, I am a Detroit fan!

Posted by Chris Norman

Sometimes, it is good to be a Detroit fan.  This is one of those times.

Chris Chelios (2002) and Chauncey Billups (2004) celebrate their titles.

Twin titles? Pistons, Wings are pulling for each other in quest to make history

BY MICHAEL ROSENBERG • DETROIT FREE PRESS COLUMNIST • May 22, 2008

“There are two ways to distinguish springtime in Michigan. One is that it arrives a month later than pretty much everywhere else. The other is that the Red Wings are occupying one half of Michigan’s brain and the Pistons are planted in the other half.

But it is hard. How hard? This hard: The NBA and NHL have held championships in the same year 60 times, and no city has captured both at once. A few have come close: In 1994, the New York Rangers won the Stanley Cup and the Knicks went to Game 7 of the NBA Finals, and in 1992 the Chicago Bulls won the NBA title and the Blackhawks were swept in the Cup finals.

But nobody has done it.

Now Detroit has its chance at history.”
