Attendance is piss-poor in other NHL cities, too.


The Panthers announced a crowd of 12,444 for their 2-2 tie against the Leafs Wednesday but the actual number probably was 9,000. That wasn't as bad as the 10,008 fans the Thrashers alleged were at their 1-0 victory over the Leafs on Monday. A throng of 6,000 would have been closer to the truth.

Eb & I are going to the Sabres game tonight.

Maybe they'll have a "Going out of business" sale on the merchandise? :huh:

The Seattle Sabres has a nice ring to it.

I've actually heard recently from various sources, most recently from one of the intermission announcers on HNIC (can't remember which one), that Rigas didn't steal a dime from the Sabres, they were actually losing money with them ... its only because he was stealing from other areas that he was able to keep the team afloat.
