Detroit Red Wings (South Park)

The Detroit Red Wings are an American NHL professional hockey team. Their first and only appearance in South Park was in the hated and most unpopular episode of the tenth season "Stanley's Cup".

Why They Suck

 * 1) They are some of the most mean-spirited characters in South Park's history, so much that their bad actions can even give early Shelly Marsh's abusive behavior a run for its money.
 * 2) None of the Red Wings players care at all about Nelson's cancer (just like Gavin Throttle); and the pee-wee team getting destroyed in bloodshed.
 * 3) The injuries they give the pee-wee players during the match are too sickening and ultra-realistic, even by South Park standards. This includes scenes where one Red Wings player hits one boy with a puck, bloodying his face and another Red Wings player repeatedly punching Ike.
 * 4) In a final match, the pee-wee team gets assaulted, tortured, beaten up, and bullied by the Detroit Red Wings. They not only get away with attacking children but also for some reason win a cup without any sportsmanship.
 * 5) For their lack of sportsmanship, they are a terrible over-dramatization of arrogant and mighty sports teams. In a real NHL game (or ANY professional sports team nonetheless), an adult league would not be allowed to face off against a peewee kids' league!
 * 6) The portrayal of the team is a prime example of a Karma Houdini.

The Only Redeeming Quality

 * 1) They are better in real life, and aren't even malicious at all.
