A difference that you are unable to make, because if you knew anything about the riots, there were people who came to purposely cause damage regardless of the outcome of that game, I wasn't downtown this time for the most recent riots but I was told people brought gas down BEFORE the game to the downtown area...those were not canuck fans, those were rioters, nothing more. You seem to have canuck fans and rioters confused...but i'm not shocked at all about this...

Talking about the riots is like beating a dead horse, not all canuck fans wanted to see that happen ok junior?

It's a bad way to deflect the fact that the Panthers have sucked for a very VERY long time Edmonton of the east, they have all these highly touted prospects, with nothing to show for it

Ah, there's the retort! Good for you. I stand by my statement, we will win a cup before you.

I'll only defend myself in that I am probably older than you for one, and I have been here since 1993. I am quite aware of what the team has gone through, as being a season ticket holder for many years will show. If you really don't believe or want to meet me, message me here. I will tell you right where I sit and right where I have sat for a long time. Our owners are horrible, yes. But have you seen the contracts these free agents are signing? Are any of them worth it? Vinny maybe. That's it. Why get handcuffed? These big contracts will soon be off the books. You can't call guys like Howden, Bjugstad, or Petrovic busts. They've played a quarter of a season. Bjugstad and Petrovic have played less.

Oh, and did ya see that Bjugstad was invited to try out for team USA for next years' Olympics? Not too shabby.

Explain to me what the season ticket holders have been saying to upper management this year. Anything? To me it seems you guys put no pressure on them whatsoever. During the season ticket holder meetings does anyone call them out or no? Fans like you are rare, you support the team, spend your hard earned money on a product that obviously could care less about it's fans and more importantly WINNING. Please, if you get the chance you should say something to the owners because it's getting ridiculous.

I plan to do so at the next event to be honest with you. I haven't been able to make the last few because my fiancé and I are expecting a baby; she wasn't feeling well.

The ONLY part of that arena that suffers with attendance is Club Red.

eh, I wouldn't say that Florida isn't a hockey state. Tampa's most passionate fans are probably Lightning fans.

Yeah baseball isn't our strong suite. lol Basketball for sure is huge in Florida with the Magic and Heat. We also have pretty passionate fans for the Bucs and Dolphins. Who cares about the Jags

Well Panther fans have something to do with that, surely, I've quickly learned that from this site alone I have rarely ever even come across a panther fan before this thread

That's because they are good teams. Most people don't want to go see a losing team! The pens are a great example. They had poop for attendance before they got crosby.
