What is there to dispute? The article is three lines long, and I'm not about to pay $4.95 to read some guy's conspiracy BS because he hates Bettman and hockey like you.hockeytown9321 said:Its really funny to me that instead of disputing the article I posted, you choose to insult me instead.
Pot meet kettle. I assme they're probably accurate. You assume they are total BS. You tell me who is being more unreasonable.hockeytown9321 said:Most people think his press releases are gospel, and that he speaks with a notarized tounge.

Since when did being informed matter. You carried off pages of misinformed arguments on the last thread about attendance figures.hockeytown9321 said:Then you're not really informed enough to argue.

I really think we need a sticky titled "hockeytown90210 rants about the new cba". It would have one unique post, posted 1800 times.
I know. I've mentioned that before and he just denies, and says something that includes the phrases "bettman said all 30 teams would be financially viable with a cap", and my personal favorite : "bettman lied to ME".nomorekids said:You'd be angry too, if you're accustomed to watching your team toss money at every high-profile free agent on the market, and suddenly see that come to an end.

Yeah, so you don't make much off the ticket, but you still get $10 for parking. $5 per beer. $3 per hot dog. It all adds up.

Is anybody here a GM, team owner or involved in the NHL and its management?
My guess is probably 99% aren't so who even cares about attendances. If you like hockey watch it, go see it, enjoy it. If you don't like it, than don't watch it. Who cares about anything else, it doesn't really even concern us.
Except that for the Panthers, you can park across the street at Sawgrass Mills mall and not pay $10 for parking (and if you own a Lexus, its free parking at the arena anyways) and I know a lot of people eat and drink at some of the places near the mall before going in.Troy McClure said:Yeah, so you don't make much off the ticket, but you still get $10 for parking. $5 per beer. $3 per hot dog.
