BrySmalls Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Is that [theregoesmazwhiningagain]? C'mon, we're all fans and not players, if they wanna talk, let em talk. Your teams got the rings.Red, the Pens got ticket allocations for the 1st one, as did the Wings, as did the Flyers. It IS a league event, not a Pittsburgh event. Yes it gets chalked up as a Pens home game, but the league organizes EVERYTHING from the venue, to the ticketing, they decide (along with NBC) who will play in the game. The Caps had every right to demand ticket allocation for their fans.And I am simply saying that they shouldnt.So why throw Ted under the bus? Why Not Illitch, or your own owner or Snider?Because I just find it sad that he goes out of his way to deny ticket sales to Pens fans for games in Washington, then the Winter Classic comes along and he is demanding to send nearly half the capacity of Heinz Field up for the game. As for the other three owners, I hadnt, and still havent heard of them making demands on ticket allocations for the previous WC's. I do remember in the case of the '08 game that the 40k general admission tickets sold out in minutes and many Pens fans were disappointed they couldn't attend. Teddy is the first example Ive heard publicly stated, and by the Commissioner no less, of a demand made for tickets for his fanbase to a WC.GM Leonsis got it right by requesting for and receiving Winter Classic ticket allocations for fans of the Washington Capitals. In fact, I wonder why it took the NHL this long to figure out a method for slighlty balancing out the dispersal of tickets for participating teams in the Winter Classics.

nash61 Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Ted Leonsis is one of the few NHL owners past and present who isn't bankrupt, retarded, or a felon. Lay off.See example (1a) Charles WangHas anyone picked up Leighton?

Lay off.Ah, now Teddy is untouchable because of who he is. Then I suggest you ignore the remainder of this conversation. GM Leonsis got it right by requesting for and receiving Winter Classic ticket allocations for fans of the Washington Capitals. In fact, I wonder why it took the NHL this long to figure out a method for slighlty balancing out the dispersal of tickets for participating teams in the Winter Classics.Hopefully, because they understood that it was still a home game for one team, still being played in their home market. But I tell you what, with your post, Im going to save this because in a few years time I'm going to need it. When they award a WC to Washington, and I will pray to anything and everything it's a rematch against the Pens, how quick this tune changes. I'd almost guarantee he'd throw a fit when it came time to allocate 40% stadium capacity to the visiting team and deny his fans, and would probably have a heart attack in shear panic if it was to the Pens.

Then I suggest you ignore the remainder of this conversation.I think you underestimate the importance of owning an NHL team without causing financial ruin to oneself and others. It's really quite rare! I'll rip Leonsis when he shakes down a government, salts the earth, and goes to prison. Do you have to do it in that order to be a true NHL owner?

The_Admiral Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Yeah, Howie B made that crucial tactical error of buying a hockey team without ever having the liquidity to pay for it.
