Laforge actually said that if they don't get a new building they would look at moving the team.
I am all for a new arena downtown, and am even onside with the city financing the thing at an attractive rate to Rexall Sports. (Financing it, not giving away $$$, if Rexall wants all the revenues, then they need to foot the bill, maybe you work in future taxes against the financing as it happens, but no $$ give aways please)
Why I am not onside with is Laforge saying they will move the team if they don't get a pile of no strings attached money.
The Oilers rank 18th in the league in average attendance per game due to the small building, but they rank in the top 10 in terms of revenue per game. So we pay way more than average for our tickets.
We pay way more than average for a seriously below average team.
4 years out of the playoffs and there is still a waiting list for season tickets.
All of that support and he threatens to move the team.
Inexcusable.
Go ahead and move Pat and take your organization of losers with you.
We will get real hockey people and a real hockey team in here so fast it will make your head spin.
LaForge is a d*ckhead.
That's about all I have to say about him.
