Krystal 41 Report post Posted November 1, 2007 The Hockeytown Blues article is pretty much echoing everything we've been stating here at LGW - ever since I joined up. The schedule we're facing isn't stellar by any means, and attracts little interest from the locals. Granted, I can't speak a word on Michigan economy.. I don't live there, so I'm not going to pretend I understand or comprehend the situation there - but the NHL-side of the argument is solid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
auxlepli 17 Report post Posted November 1, 2007 Wow, I'm surprised he's bringing this topic up again. I thought it had died down. Anyway, I'll add these two to my list. I've already saved 24. Kevin Allen sums up the problems nicely in this article. http://www.usatoday.com/sports/hockey/colu...ttendance_N.htm It pretty much states the same thing we've been posting.

Jwo 7 Report post Posted November 1, 2007 (edited) If Hamilton gets a team you will see Buffalo's attendance fall. People in that Canadian area and the Toronto area cross the boarder to watch NHL Hockey due to no tickets left to be sold for Leaf games.
