I never knew BigJolly.com was a source for NHL news, but we've seen how far you'll go to track down "important" information. That includes getting trolled on other boards and then coming over here and posting things as proof. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Jolly is a Houston-based website that discusses Houston topics. An NHL board took it seriously, and not laid out jokes and complaints to demean it like you did. The author was a former criminal justice professor who believes that this country should honor the rule of law and traditions, which you don’t according to your sympathy for Colin Koepernick. Thought this board was supposed to be non political which you have ignored. You infinite intelligence and morality advantage over this board is sadly showing.

The AHL does not do good in Canada compared to major juniors. St John and Thunder Bay don't have major juniors teams. Correction: St John has a major juniors team. The only other AHL teams in Canada are located near the parent NHL team for interest: the Toronto Marlies and the Laval Rocket for Montreal. That's 3 out of 31 AHL teams. Bizarrely, Canada just doesn't consider the AHL to be Canadian enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fargo would seem a possibility, if the USHL team leave, but their arena is on the small side.. The old Jets never had to deal with AHL and WHL teams taking sports revenue out of the economy.

Yote 53 Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 Going back to that Jets article, I started to laugh at this quote: "Have you ever gone to Toronto and watched a Leafs game one night and a Raptors game the next? Same building, totally different beast in terms of how much entertainment drives the NBA. "Hockey is saying we've got a million corporate tickets sold and we don't really care as much." I don't think it's a hockey does not care issue. When you go to a hockey game the game is the entertainment, the game is the product. I read those quotes as an indictment of the NBA's product. When you go to an NBA game the clubs know the actual product is boring so they are forced to keep you entertained with a bunch of gimmicky crap to make it an "experience". Now tell me, which game has the problem here? Hockey or basketball? ETA: Oh, and if Winnipeg is "soft" because 1,500 tickets are available the day of the game on the secondary market, you know, tickets that have already been sold, then how freaking soft is Florida and Arizona? If there is concern for Winnipeg then there should be an absolute 5-alarm fire level of concern for those other two franchises because those buildings are EMPTY. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
