Hey Superfan, let's explore your position for a minute.
1) Is there any set of circumstances or behavior by Melnyk that would cause you to stop buying tickets? If so, how close are you to the point where you say "enough is enough"? Can you please let us lousy fans in on the Gold Standard you apply so we can be Superfans too?
2) Does Melnyk owning the team absolve him from having to try and win over the fans and generate loyalty?
3) Do you think Melnyk's actions, both public and private, make it more or less likely for Karlsson to stay?
1) Behavior? Like Weinstein situation? I don't know, wtf. Certainly nothing to this point. He is a blowhard, buffoon. I can separate that moron from my team, though. I can cheer for Karlsson and dislike the owner.
2) No. He has a job to do. I am easily sold because I am loyal to my team, warts and all. They have promos, you guys all see them. But you all know where the team plays.
3) Players know the numbers, they are little businesses all about numbers. If the place is empty, as it was versus the Rangers, they know there may be an issue getting paid. Don't you?
I am not a superfan. I'm just loyal. I would be a regular guy in Toronto, Philly, Montreal, etc...But in Ottawa I guess I would be a Superfan.
