"Um, so Jim, do ya think it'd be a better idea for you to be here while we consult instead of touring with the Eagles?"
the phrase that made me cringe the most was the one about these guys knowing how to get "blood from rocks" or something like that. if prices at MSG arent high enough (from what i read here, i havent been to MSG in years) they are probably about to go up. some up, some down, but i wouldnt be surprised if the price of an entire evening at a Rangers home game goes up.
its all about the bottom dollar. not the success of the on-ice product.
These are the worst people on Earth. They're the same ******** who dream up ways for companies to use their scrap materials and waste bi-products to turn a profit on unsuspecting consumers. It is a foul industry filled with unconscionable worms.
Makes me sick thinking about it.

This could really be extremely far from the truth. Consultants aren't always there to help make more money or make things more efficient.
They could have very well hired McKinsey and given them the Knicks and Rangers with the end goal "Make us win more". It could be a change in philosophy or drafting strategy or whatever. In case you guys haven't noticed, sometimes the old school people who know a lot about hockey aren't the best ones to be in charge.
Which nullifies the logic of your post.
With the Knicks in complete free-fall I'm not too concerned about a bunch of suits meddling with the Rangers affairs.
I haven't read the article, but I'd have to imagine this is about making the organizations run a little leaner and more efficient.
You don't hire consultants to raise ticket & food prices, anyone can do that. You hire them to find ways to reduce staff, overhead, and find new ways to cut corners.
I'd imagine changes would be unobservable to the consumer, but chances are things are going to get noticablly ****tier for MSG/NYR staff and employees.
