My god I love this. The blues using a detroit song... maybe wishing they were half as good :) hahaha. I love my wings but now that the blues have cheechoo... oh buddy.
@menoseloso Wait... isn't the city boy from South Detroit taking a midnight train ANYWHERE? Like... ANYWHERE ELSE. Like, said city boy thinks to himself, "Fuck, I live in Detroit, I need to get on the next train that is going ANYWHERE else. I'm really not to picky. Next train, any destination. Anywhere but Detroit."

I don't mind it too much. The song is overused, though. Rumor is that Bergy actually was playing that song, so maybe that was the easiest song to play. Nonetheless, I would have expected something more original, like in previous years.
The theme is okay, but it doesn't blow me away or anything.
If we complain about this enough, hopefully marketing will ditch this song and motto before opening night. Even if the song didn't exist, I'd still hate the slogan because it pegs the Blues as the underdogs. We're not the fucking Oilers or the Panthers. We're a team that should be able to compete all year long and make the playoffs. If you want to call us underdogs, do it after we make the playoffs, but don't do it before the preseason even starts.
@ToTheConquered I'm not trying to hate, I just don't think there is a better song out there for this team right now. They've been a basement dweller for awhile and I think finally they have a chance to break into the top 8 in the conference. I'd still say that league consensus has them as a playoff under-dog. Personally, I'm a Flyers fan. But I always liked the Blues and I hope they do make it. It's just they'll be doing so as an underdog.
@RHX1989 They haven't been basement dwellers. They've been finishing right around the cusp of the playoffs for the past 5 years. We only finished last the year after the lockout. This is a good song for Ottawa, Edmonton, Colorado, or Florida. These are the kinds of commercials teams use when their fans have given up; we sold out every game last year and probably will this year, too, no cheesy ad campaigns needed.
@ToTheConquered i like the song but were obviously not underdogs considering our place in the standings...and if u see my pic u see that I bleed blue...LETS GO BLUESS
Horrible. Not only is it insulting to fans after we put up with the post-lockout debacle to be patronized with "don't stop believing" but it also demonstrates that whoever came up with this campaign couldn't be bothered to research (hell even google) the song's background. But that's what you get from such a lazy PR team that would prefer to lift lyrics from a song instead of using their 2 neurons to produce an original, or dare I say sincere slogan. What is the PR team trying to fail upward?
THIS CAN'T BE OUR SONG! ONE OF THE LYRICS TO THE SONG IS "BORN AND RAISED IN SOUTH DETROIT" NO NO NO NO BLUES NO! PLEASE DO NOT COME OUT TO THIS, THIS SEASON! BUT ANY ANYWAY LET'S GO BLUES!!!!
I really hope they don't play that song when the Redwings are in town. Last thing we need is a bunch of Detroit losers singing along. Go Blues and Ruck the Fedwings!
That was the worst hockey commercial I have ever seen in my life. I would rather see the Jon Hamm commercials over and over again than be subjected to this garbage.
Dose he really play piano? I feel stupid asking that! ;)
