Not sure it would help my Flyers though. they need more than Giroux for offense.Brucehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09531009878166988406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6557458849091969678.post-18803285605515868972016-03-04T14:50:48.972-05:002016-03-04T14:50:48.972-05:00Flippers are nice, but the way to boost attendance...Flippers are nice, but the way to boost attendance is get rid of the sticks and let the guys use modified scythes instead. Of course, the Zambonis will have to be modified to pick up blood and body parts, but I'm sure that this is an easily solved technical problem.Akakyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00187471562516416268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6557458849091969678.post-7990547080365424202016-03-04T13:16:10.189-05:002016-03-04T13:16:10.189-05:00

While I love the idea of flippers, I really think the best thing would be to get rid of the asinine salary cap! Just imagine what the Bowmans could do then. scoring would soar (at least for the only team that really matters, the Champion Chicago Blackhawks.<br /><br />Seriously though, the price of tickets is now out of reach of the common man and in turn interest is waning because of that. The same is true for the other so called major sports. joetotehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16614909072614184465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6557458849091969678.post-75310939334129443052016-03-04T11:59:14.634-05:002016-03-04T11:59:14.634-05:00Yes, the election is meaningless; and the incessan...Yes, the election is meaningless; and the incessant chatter about it, maddening.<br /><br />However, about the only thing I care about less than the election hysteria is hockey.<br /><br />As a science fiction writer, you are familiar with the many-worlds theory of quantum mechanics.<br /><br />I, on the other hand, am Schroedinger's Dog.<br />No matter how many times you explain it to me, or how many times you open the box to find a dead cat, I always have the same response:<br />http://www.cutedogpictures.net/pictures/Cutedogpictures-can_You_Let_Us_In.jpg<br /><br /><br />What I want to know is: where is my time machine?

My family held 6 season tickets for the St.Paul Fighting Saints of the World Hockey League. Four tickets for us and the other two for friends. Then it morphed into the Central Hockey League and the prices started going up. After years and years we finally relinquished our season ticket due to price increases. <br /><br />Now the cheapest ticket to see the Minnesota Wild is about $55.00. Not many families with a couple of kids can afford over $200.00 to go to a hockey game.<br /><br />And, yes, the games could be really brutal. I remember one game against the Minneapolis Millers that a fight broke out that was so huge they had to take a break for the Zamboni to clean the blood off the ice. <br /><br /> Adriennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01562944653624224107noreply@blogger.com
