Fans were happy and entertained. Now, there has been a definite shift. It doesn’t matter if fans are happy, it only matters that the club appear to care and appear to entertain. If they fail, folks that have spent $400 on tickets for the game won’t say so because it will make them feel dumber about spending the next $400." Well put. That explains a lot. Fans keep coming back because they are addicted. Like drug dealers, the owners realize this and just keep lowering the dosage while increasing the price. Well, not all teams ... but most. This includes the NHL. They will eventually try to ban fighting altogether from the NHL. And to me, that means lowering the entertainment value of hockey. It's like ... removing the color from your television ... or outlawing slamdunks in basketball. Bully said:
