Phoenix, Atlanta, and NYI all played home games tonight. Guess which one had an attendance of 10,354.
The game that was played early Saturday afternoon.

The team that plays in the worst stadium in north america? That has a horrible team with a small fanbase? With an owner who wants out?
Or the team that has made the playoffs once in 12 years and has never won a playoff game? And who's owners are incompetent and have severe fan backlash over there shenanigans with not only their team, but with the Hawks.
I don't think people really understand the magnitude of these two franchises problems. Not as easy as saying that they don't have any fans or that people don't like hockey in that area. Goes much beyond that.

Exactly.
And this is what makes me so angry about the Coyotes. They have a good team. They had the Gretzky branding. They don't have the attendance and if that team were in either Atlanta or Long Island with the success it has on the ice, no one would be discussing Atlanta or Long Island!
