Just because nothing can change for a couple of weeks. So a "what if" post other than fantasy trade stuff. Everything that can be said has been multiple times but not this.
What if they were not here? What if they never were?
Turn on the way back machine Mr. Peabody. Back to the day when NHL hockey was on one station only and Saturday only.
Well Bettman has provided a couple of chances to find out. Lock outs.
Would fans stop being fans? I doubt it look at the sea of red when Les Canadiens are here or blue when the Maple Laffs are in town.
Last lock out I started scuba diving, absolutely fantastic in BC. Found a couple of golf courses I could afford but then I had a lot more funds that were not spent on hockey.
You know there are kids that play hockey too and some are not much below the current offerings and free.
Fishing was great back then but too many seals and sea lions now.
There are also many really good skiing destinations, world class.
There is still a football team in Vancouver too. Seattle 3 hours down the road with real professional teams.
Calgary and Edmonton are a short inexpensive flight away, sometimes they even give really good points rewards too.
And the disposable funds that became available, dinner out, travel, more kid time, less stress
I am not advocating the franchise be moved, it has become an essential to so many fans that identify with the team but as the song goes "life goes on without me"
The amount of money spent by fans in one single game would support minor hockey for years in all jurisdictions.
This is a Canuck post, solely for frustrated fans and just the same as the hockey team, a distraction.
A logical progression from the posts, You can’t handle the Rebuild! and How much more can you take?
