Blackhawkswincup
RIP Fugu
But....you'd think if they are touted to have the next franchise in the NHL the city might try drum up some interest beforehand right? I mean, there's no point having a new arena built and a new franchise only to see the sort of crowds Florida used to pull, cpuld you imagine opening night being packed cos its a big event, then at the mid point of the season its tumble weeds in the stands cos Hockey wasn't fed to them before they had a team?
Seems crazy to me to want a franchise in the city yet not have the Stanley Cup playoffs showing in the local bars.
Seattle would give Boston an instant rival but having Quebec would at least get rid of the sel obsessed and entitled Habs team that think their almighty French ties are godly.
Drummed up plenty of interest in ticket sales and corporate support in recent months
Ticket drive went well beyond goal of 10k and last I saw most or almost all suites for new build stadium were committed (And that is before corporate/casino involvement)
