yeah, some people were a little unpleasant towards us.
At the JETSOWNER outing, the kids in front of me were the sooooo mad.... then their parents started cheering "Jets are Gone".. but considering that we are a camapaign for the future it didn't make much sense.
I've said all along they are only defending the ideals of cheaper entertainment, in otherwords mediocrity. If there is less passion, skill and excitement it makes absolutely no sense in prefering the AHL over the NHL, the only factor that makes the AHL attractive is price.
However, for myslef and many Pegger's, It wouldn't make a difference what the ticket prices are anyways when it concerns the amount of games attented each year. As it stands I have only been to the MTSC twice, the first time to check it out, the second for our JETSOWNER NIGHT (and now I'm going to the CRUE!!!). It's not that I personally have anything against the Moose, it all comes down to the fact that I am not motivated enough to go. The NHL could fill that void. In fact I'd go more often. But that is merely my opinion.
Now concerning the TBAY Lightning. If I remember correctly, they lost 28 million in 03 (but won the Cup in 04). Prior to 04, their owner was quoted in saying that he feels that hoceky will never thrive on Florida's Gulf Coast. A Stanley Cup changed his mind, but, if this lockout goes on for more then this season TBay will probably lose momentum and be in the same situation as before... and he might call back.
here's to hoping!

TB, ANA, NAS... it makes no difference to me, just bring me home a team. Yeah you're right Dave, typical penny pinching Wpgers. Moochy bastards...

What a way to break in the new Jets too... a former Jet Nikolai Khabibulin bringing back Brad Richards, Martin St. Louis and Vincent Lecavalier. If that's the team you get I hope they put us out of the Northwest Division!

If Tampa ever moved here, don't expect all those big names to remain here long....there would be a salary cap!
