It's been reported in several places that NHL tickets this year are at an all time high, the most expense ever on a league-wide basis...thus even though attendance is down, revenues are up marginally -- this coming out of the year long lockout...while many fans were for the owners over the unreasonable Goodenow, it was stated by Bettman that under a new economic system, that linked players' salaries to revenue, the great fans would benefit...
and I quote Bettman pre-lockout:
"I believe with the right economic system, many, many, if not most of our teams, will actually lower ticket prices. I believe we owe it to our fans to have affordable ticket prices . . ."

He will spin this and say teams did lower the tickets after the lock out, however they couldn't continue forever with garage sale prices so they raised them again.

does anyone think the finals of the past 2 seasons were at all rigged, I know it sounds kind of stupid, actually really stupid, but I mean when you look at it, two of Gary's teams beat 2 hard working underdog canadian teams in 2 years, both went to 4-3 and both kept audiences glued, maybe he rigged it so that 2 of his franchises won the trophy and gained major fan support because of it, while canadian viewers saw a canadian team make it to the finals, so the NHLs TV ratings went up and the whole nation watched the finals, it is absrud, but it's Gary!

Granted, although "pro hockey" is the first thing that comes to mind when someone mentions Puerto Rico, I just don't think it'd survive there long-term
