Mariners player cheers for Red Wings
A Seattle Mariners player, J.J. Putz, is from Michigan and is a big Detroit Red Wings fan. He lives in Arizona in the off season and whenever the Wings come to Phoenix for a game, he makes sure he attends the games (along with the other bazillion Michigan transplants in the area).
“This is a great hockey franchise,” Putz said. “I used to joke with (former Mariners reliever and Calgary Flames fan) Chris Reitsma that it was one thing to see a sea of red in Calgary, but that’s nothing until you see it in Detroit.
“They’re crazy about hockey here. I’ll never forget Yzerman holding that trophy up after all those years.” … “I always wear my red Steve Yzerman jersey,” he said.
The Tigers have actually won two in a row over the Mariners - rejoice!
