How can you know that? This team has a 16% playoff conversion rate. Even Jesus Christ would have a hard time watching this.

LOL as bad as this team has been for so long why would anybody come and watch them? What exactly have the Panthers done on the ice to warrant a full house?

I was listening to Sirius the other day and a Chicago fan called in to say he was getting rid of his seats because the team is bad and not getting better. They’ve won 3 Stanley Cups in the last 10 years and people are ready to bail on season seats because they’ve missed the playoffs 3 years in a row.

So give me a break about how fans won’t show up here when this team hasn’t won a playoff round in 25 years and has been to the playoffs 5 times in 26 seasons. It literally blows my mind when people complain about attendance here when the team has been so bad.

And make sure you go to the Baptist health booth and handle an iPad used by who knows how many people so you can get a cheesy giveaway. LOL

Washing hands for some people is not a given...Sad but it is like it is

Avoiding close contact to people who are sick is also not working if someone is sitting right by my side. And for myself I wont go to a doctor because I am under the weather...But if they continue shutting down everything down here in Germany I could rather stay at home all week and all weekend long if I cant go out anyway.

And I mean, stopping to touch your eyes, nose, mouth is pretty much not working anyway


Crazy..So it just took a few days to reach all over the US...

Need fans to create an atmosphere. Can’t get those fans until they are a consistent winner. That’s been the story for the better part of the team’s existence. It is what it is at this point. People don’t go to their games.

I know because I've been watching this team for thirty years. I think there's a large enough sample size to draw that conclusion.

Yeah, sure, I mean a large sample of crappy teams that nobody wants to see.
Consistently putting out successful teams and nobody shows up to see them? Nope, there's no large sample of that.
