They talk a lot about Canadian pride and love of the game but clearly can't keep their dollar up where it ought to be and all their players insist on being paid in US funds. Eliminate the Canadian teams and they can have their freakin original six back, lock out American and European players, and have the game go back to being all Canadian. The Canadian Hockey League. Of course it'll be played by nothing but old men but hey, better than all these foreigners ruining "Canada's Game" -HckyFght!

I don't think he knows that there is already a Canadian Hockey League.Skylab said:What starts as a relatively coherent attempt at a tongue in cheek post completely loses me in the second part.
If you eliminate the Canadian teams, how do "they" (whoever they are) get their original six back? (wouldn't the American original six teams need to be kicked out of the NHL as well before forming the original six league?)
are you attempting to draw a connection between the Canadian Hockey League and the original six?
Assuming that a hockey league that was comprised only of Canadian players actually happened (not that I'd want it to), why would the players have to be old? Couldn't Thornton, Lecavalier, etc. play in it as well?
your ramblings lost me...

Detroit - Too old. The old players are just going to hold the young ones back. Get rid of the wings and let the young players go somewhere they can be useful.
Colorado - Forsberg is gone, Roy is gone. They had a nice run but there is really no reason to keep this team around.
Montreal - Best fans in the world, but the team will never be able to live up to their high expectations. We should free the players from this bondage and stop setting up the habs fans for disappointment. Eliminate the Canadiens and life will go much smoother for all involved.

Kravitch said:That's ok, I understand that the landscaper was on crack when he was deciding where the arena should be.
Winger98 said:Seriously, is that the biggest reason NJ has such piss poor attendance numbers? Because there is no reason for fans to not support that team. they are competitive, they work hard, they win...the only thing NJ isn't is flash and dash.
Just curious because when I saw this thread, NJ was the first team I thought of because they've been so successful but they still don't get much fan support.
Kravitch said:The location of the arena is the only decent reason I have heard why NJ gets crappy attendance. I have been told that nobody really want to travel to a swamp with poor parking locations to see a game. I have not been there nor have a seen alot of photos (If someone could provide me with a few it would be much appreciates), but apperantly the arena is just in a very poor location.

DownFromNJ said:Devils attendence has gotten significantly lower as ticket prices have risen.
Our Arena is about as old as it gets, and in the middle of nowhere, with no mass transportation.
Yet we still manage to make nearly as much cash as many teams with better attendence. Tells you something.

Ya, that you need a new building badly... Any plans for one?
DownFromNJ said:Yep. Newark approved it. Problem is, the lockout could change their plans.
But it is set to go when the NHL's future is certain.
