only the corporate d-bags wearing suits, guys who bring their wives/girlfriends and anyone seen on camera using a phone. So about 70% of fans who attend games.

edit: forgot about kypreos, doesn't matter what he wearing or who hes with

I make sure I go to at least 1 game a year with the GF and I don't consider myself a poser. Unless of course crying yourself to sleep everynight because of this lockout makes me poser.

I hate you guys, I'm going to bed.

florida is a nice play to live and a nice place to play in, and tickets are cheap. And have pretty good fans, they like hockey there.

On the other hand, id like to see columbus just fold so we can get rid of columbus and see quebec finally get their team. So THEN when a player gets drafted to columbus they wont be like oh (frank) im on the worst team in the world. If it was quebec, theyd say im on a team with alot of history and a team with amazing fans and a team that the player can look forward to, to be getting drafted too. Not (frank)ing columbus

Florida is a horrible location for a hockey franchise. If the Blue Jackets weren't so poorly managed, they would be a way better franchise.

Oh Lord, Uggie, get over yourself. Do you really want to lose this argument again?

Is Montreal a good hockey town?

Hint: they didn't support their AHL team.

Don't think there's much history showing support for any hockey in Toronto after the Leafs.



Leafs or bust.

This means nothing.


Toronto is a Leafs town much moreso than a hockey town.

We'll see how the attendance of hockey teams in the GTA does.

In theory, they should all be sold out.

The TV ratings in Toronto for non-Leafs games are higher than for non-local teams in all other NHL cities.

Torontonians follow more teams than any other NHL city.

In theory the Marlies should draw way more than the Mooseheads, but they don't.

It's probably because Totontonians are too busy filling all the other buildings in the GTA.

Bluejackets just suck. At least when a player goes to Florida, the positive is the weather and ive been to some games in florida, the atmosphere is very pumped up, the fans are really into it. Some nights are really going, especially when they win. Even after the game, the fans are going nuts in the building just walking out to go home. Trust, florida is a pretty good place to play. Columbus is just a joke going under which i hope folds and becomes quebec

The Panthers, with a division winning team, averaged only 2,000 more people per game than the last place Blue Jackets.

Florida is a horrible market compared to Columbus. Give the Blue Jackets decent management and it's a completely different situation.

Alouettes sellout most of their games but it's only what...10-12 games per year? 22K+ per game.

Attendance figures for the Panthers mean squat.

They literally give tickets away.
