Hmmmmm... go Detroit???

[finagler]

Hmmmmm... go Detroit???

hmmm...I'm just rooting for a regulation win on either side.

Hmmmmm... go Detroit???

Detroit is one point behind Trashville. And besides, I hate Trashville more.

[Dark Knight]

It would make more sense to root for Detroit again. If they win they go to 99, leaving Nashville at 98. IF the Ducks win they'd be at 97 or two behind the lead in the West. Nasville would drop to 4th.
