Re: NHL.com Frozen Moment: Sabres fans in the Caps' arena
Nice.
While listening to the game I heard Briere getting booed when he touched the puck. By the 2nd period all you could hear were lets go Buffalo chants & fans booing Ovechkin when he touched the puck.
We are in 5th place
Clump is on the IR
Chubluv average is 167

Originally posted by TheGhostofJimKellyWashington might be the best team suited to move. My brother-in-law lives there and says nobody is ever at the games.
For a metropolitan area of almost 4 million people, that's weak. In fact, I think "weak" is the best word to describe their fan base. Of course they have a small cadre of die hards, but beyond that no one here cares about hockey.
But hockey is a tough sell down here. It's not as popular as it is up North, and a lot of people down here are transplants and still root for the teams where they're from (however this doesn't seem to bother the Skins any).

Originally posted by OpIv37I went to 4 games at that arena this year. One was on a weeknight- the stadium was maybe 1/3 full. Two were on Fridays- the stadium was maybe 60% full. The other one was yesterday's Sat afternoon game- the announced attendance was 18,000, which is about 75% capacity, but half those people were Sabres fans.
