I've been to wings/yotes games in AZ and I can attest that the number of locals wearing DET gear was astonishing. They couldn't quite drown out the 'let's go red wings' chants.

I have a couple of friends there and they are gonna be crying about the move, no doubt... and they have ALWAYS hated these transplants that are yotes fans until 'their' team comes to town...

Detroit fans: If you can't stay away, please wear white


Regrets? We have a few. By stumbling down the stretch and leaving numerous points on the table, [ coughed up home-ice advantage and slid into a sticky first-round playoff series against Detroit.
As always, the opponent and the task feels enormous.
So, a plea to all fans living in the Valley:

If you must go to the games in Arizona, please wear white. We don't want outsiders thinking we can't sell out After all we've been through - from bankruptcy hearings to relocation threats - the last thing we need is more national embarrassment.

A sea of red at Jobing.com Arena would do just that.

If you're a Detroit fan who otherwise cheers for the Coyotes, understand what this does to your second-favorite team, and how deflating it must be to take the ice for a playoff game and hear:
"Let's go Red Wings!"

By the way, that chant broke out at a Valley restaurant Monday morning.
Yep, it's starting already. And in the end, the have no one to blame but themselves
