Normally I'd agree, but Karmanos already employed a similar strategy to get out or Hartford, and hired Don Waddell, who was involved with a similar situation in Atlanta before the Thrashers moved.

yes, yes. let me make our attendance so bad that im losing so much money that i have to sell the team below market value. i think that is the right business move.

Except attendance was terrible last year and the team netted $2 million.

Addressing the discussion surrounding the content not you directly. If PK is making money with minimum payroll and poor performance then there isn't much reason for him to make improvements, sell, or move. The strategy is common enough in baseball. Minimize all spending and soak in that sweet revenue sharing. He can sit on his hands and wait for the next $15+ million expansion fee to process.

, and that thought is making me question whether its worth being emotionally invested in this franchise anymore.

I think that's where a lot of this is coming from. 9 years is a LONG time to ask people to invest themselves into anything.

If this season is just another implosion and the ownership issue continues to hang a cloud of anxiety over everything, it's not unreasonable at this point for someone to sit back and ask themselves from an objective standpoint if it's time to just get a new hobby.

Any lineup changes for this game? I really hope there is some

Apathy creeping in

Help me Jeffrey Skinner, you’re my only hope

You all have fun. I'm taking a week off.

Emotional investment? I'm not sure what that even is.

re: hockey game
I wonder if the team is going to publish another terrifying children's book by Road Dahl

This team is a genius work of absurdist art

maybe we will wake up and realize this whole hockey team was just a 20 year nightmare and we can get back to our normal lives

So we'll wake up and be little kids who barely know anything about hockey again?

Speak for yourself.

Boom and I will be telling you to clean your rooms.

I'd be too busy trying to get to second/third base then worried about some mediocre sports club.

I would have been trying to figure out what those were.

Great. I'm halfway through my senior year in high school and driving around with Fiat Uno still feeling warm glow over IIHF tourney 1995.

I still feel the same glow though so there's that.

It's because for the first time in a long time, before the season started there was:

It's bad juju to create GDT the day before a game. Curse you Hank!
