Once again, it’s time for Channel 7’s Community Comments. Our station editorial about the Red Wings playing their final game at Joe Louis Arena prompted a lot of memories. Ann Collins’ favorite was:
“The game where Paul Coffey got his 1,000th assist. This was before he became known as wrong way
Coffey. "
Brenda LaLande said:
“My sister and I went to The Joe and saw Sergi Fedorov score 5 goals in one game.”
Shelley Kury wrote:
“My favorite memory is having formal dinners with the Wings on the ice back in the 80’s.”
Sarah Rood remembers:
“It’s a place where octopi fly and banners line the rafters.”
Gerald Mcginnis’ favorite Joe moment wasn’t a Wings game. It was “…An AC/DC concert.”
Our Editorial and first Detroit 2020 Town Hall Meeting in Macomb prompted a lot of buzz on social media.
One viewer wrote:
“It’s a great idea to allow people to voice their concerns to a team of people who really do care.”
- Liz Prisk-Dulka
Sharon Davis said:
“This is a wonderful idea! Should be implemented everywhere.”
And finally, another Channel 7 viewer and participant wrote:
“I was honored to bring awareness to the needs in Macomb County. Thank you Channel 7 for letting us speak up about (the) good as well as bad.”
- Cheryl Becigneul
That’s it for now. Thanks for writing and participating.
