At least the Islanders actually won stuff worth a damn. The Sharks deserve their own Sparky the SUV.

The Sharks and Warriors should have gotten on the same page decades ago, preferably with one arena in or close to San Francisco. Rehabbing the Oakland Arena was never going to be enough, the Shark Tank was hastily drawn up without luxury boxes, and no professional team should ever have to use the stinky Cow Palace. I think the Chase Center is basically Barclays West in terms of the seating bowl and general one-percentiness. Not ideal.

neo_prankster Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 What's up with the Winnipeg Jets' attendance issues lately? The way everybody's talking about it, it makes the Jets seem like they're vulnerable to being moved again. I really don't want Winnipeg to lose the Jets again like they did in 1996.

If I had to guess, rising prices have forced a lot of people to give up Jets tickets to afford stuff like food and bills. Plus the team constantly being stuck in mid for the last few years isn't helping, either; fans will show up to a team that's winning and putting in strong efforts every night, and the Jets have hovered around .500 all year so far. I mean, plus the owner did kind of hang that sword of Damocles over their heads in the offseason...

LaGrandeOrange Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 When he was together he was a phenomenal player but man...what a mess. His tenure in MTL was full of...off-ice issues, hopefully he can get some help and maybe get away from his dad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridleylash Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 It's officially a five-alarm fire in Edmonton as the Oilers fail to mount a comeback, losing to the Sharks in regulation and putting them in a tie for 32nd in the league in points...despite out-shooting them 41-18. To even make the playoffs, they'll have to play at a 105-point pace the rest of the year...which, given their performance so far, seems unlikely. I think we can begin to call their playoff chances close to dead in the water at this point. Honestly, if you're Draisaitl and McDavid, how much longer can you take this team wasting your prime years like this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spent a lot of the third period screaming obscenities at the refs after one of the most baffling disallowed goals I've ever seen at the end of the second. I'm so happy for Laf, he's had a lot of criticism thus far in his career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like a combination of a few things. They lost around 2000 season ticket holders during the pandemic, which was due to people cutting spending, changing entertainment habits, and issues around vaccine mandates. They started their first season ticket campaign since initially moving from Atlanta this spring, but I don't think the veiled threat of "buy tickets or the team might move again" went over very well. The honeymoon period of the NHL being back in Manitoba is over, but their owner is still one of the richest people in Canada, and is committed to keeping the team there. I think we're still a long ways away from relocation being a realistic option. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked because last season I was worried we would see a repeat of 96 and the economic conditions that sent the old Jets to the desert.

LaGrandeOrange Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 Was at the game on Saturday night (Habs-Bruins) and for the first time in years it felt like a playoff/old time Saturday night vibe. We got robbed of it in '21 and the team has been awful since fans have been back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
