    City of Champions - Can it Happen Again (sort of)

    In the 1935-36 Season The Detroit Tigers won the World Series, The Detroit Lions won the NFL Championship (No Super Bowl Back then) and the Detroit Red Wings won the Stanley Cup. (There was no Pro Basketball back then) No other City has ever done this (not to mention Joe Louis won the Heavyweight Title). Thus Detroit was labeled the City of Champions.

    Well it's 2006 and no city has ever won the Stanley Cup and NBA Championship in the same year. The Pistons and Red Wings ended the seaon with the best record in both leagues (something that no city has ever done before)

    Will Detroit do it again?

    Vegas says 7-1 they won't. Dallas has an outside shot and I suppose New Jersey (if you wanna call that a city ) has an extreme long shot.

    Anyways my personal opinion is the Pistons have about a 70% chance of winning and the Wings about 40% giving them a 28% chance of both doing it.

    Any other opinions?

    How can they be the City of Champions without winning the superbowl?

      '35-'36 was great for Detroit.

      I think it's been going downhill ever since. Only one man can save Detroit now...

        There was no Super Bpwl in 1935-36. The NFL Championship was ultimate Pro Football Game at that time.

              NCAA Hockey Titles? That's about as worthwhile as Canadian University Basketball titles.

                  On the contrary... I'd say half the college hockey players are from Canada, probably some (if not most) of their best go to US colleges to play before going pro.

                  Its not like great US basketball players go to Canada to play basketball...

                    Most of the best certainly do not go to NCAA teams. Some do to escape the pressure of Canadian hockey fans (eg, Crosby).

                          Edmonton really has no claim to that title. It's hilarious to me.

                              Let's count Grey cups and Stanley cups, shall we?
