It is, actually, an apples to apples comparison. You are simply explaining (excusing?) why Nashville loses that comparison. I'm not arguing Nashville's right to exist one way or another, simply pointing out why the complaint about other markets getting off easier is invalid.
Especially since, as was noted, people most certantly were questioning those franchises futures at that time.
So stop crying becuase you guys are being treated exactly as they were 10 and 20 years ago.
As far as your increase over last season goes, congrats. Hope it improves. Doesnt change the fact that Nashville was still 25th, and aside from the Devils, the only teams behind them were so absolutely pitiful that watching them play could be called torture.
Doesn't change the fact that the buisness community in Nashville does not seem to have jumped on the bandwagon.
Until these things improve, Nashville will always be questioned. Just like Edmonton was. Just like Calgary. Just like Phoenix. Just like everyone else.
