I do disagree a little bit though. When building a fan base, you have to get the kids. The 6-20s year old demographic. You get those fans by being winners, because kids love winners. Then they are fans for life. And their kids are fans. Look at the Bills in the 90s and most of our fanbase. How many lifelong fans did that Super Bowl era beget? Versus the 2000-2010 era? You're right, no absolutes. But success out of the gate is a positive when it comes to growing a fan base, IMO. Pretty interesting article here on the success of the Knights and the effect it could have on the fan base..its at the end but interesting read.Somewhat a blend of what you are saying here and what @eball and I think. http://www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/id/23444016/2018-stanley-cup-playoffs-championship-too-much-too-soon-vegas-golden-knights-fan-base-nhl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fadingpain Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 What a lousy game last night. After a really strong start to the playoffs, there have been quite a few lopsided games this year where you knew who was going to win pretty early on. I'm hoping for better tonight. The NHL and its advertisers must LOVE this final four among mega super markets: Vegas, Winnipeg, Tampa and DC. I wish we could have somehow gotten a Vegas vs. Winnipeg final, as I'd like one of those teams to win it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 Someone’s in a mood. Tampa was outscored 10-4 in total in their series openers. Now either they will get their crap together or Washington will win out. From what I heard NBCSN pushed for the Sunday 8 PM spot. So is it the NHL or the networks or both that want viewership?

SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 (edited) So.

eball Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 The last 2:00 of the 2nd period were soul-crushing for the Bolts. Safe to say game 3 is a must win for TB, but the way the Caps are playing you have to think this series is just about over as I don't see TB going 4-1.

The other thing is last night it took a man advantage for Tampa to score, and in game 1 only 1 one of their goals was full strength. Tampa like the Caps CBJ game 3 is all but a must win. Lose and then you have zero buffer. The streets of DC will be wild and crazy Thursday if the Caps pull off a sweep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T&C Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 A case of bad timing: 'Nobody's happy about it': Power outage set for Rossburn, Man., during Jets game Manitoba Hydro has planned a power outage in western Manitoba town from 6 to 9 p.m. Monday CBC News · Posted: May 14, 2018 5:00 AM CT | Last Updated: 5 hours ago People in the town of Rossburn will have no power from 6 to 9 p.m. Monday, during the Jets playoff game against the Vegas Golden Knights. (Chris Seto/CBC) 1 comments People in the town of Rossburn, Man., will be cheering on the Winnipeg Jets in the dark Monday night. Manitoba Hydro has scheduled a power outage for maintenance from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. — conflicting with Game 2 against the Vegas Golden Knights in the NHL's Western Conference final. Extra 10,000 Whiteout Street Party tickets to be released Sunday Winnipeg Jets fans fill downtown for first game of Western Conference finals John Kostecki, who owns the Rossburn Hotel, said a hydro employee put up a bulletin Friday about the outage in the small town 275 kilometres northwest of Winnipeg. "First thing that went through my mind was 'What, are they crazy?'" he said. Manitoba Hydro needs to upgrade the substation's transformer and the planned outage notification came May 9, before the Jets beat the Nashville Predators in the second round of the NHL playoffs, a spokesperson said in an email. "Generally, scheduled outages are planned days in advance to make sure staff are available, customers have plenty of advance warning and that it's scheduled for minimum inconvenience," the spokesperson said. Kostecki said he understands the maintenance work needs to be done but the timing is not ideal. "I would rather have hydro fix the problems instead of having an unplanned outage, but they maybe could have done Tuesday," he said, laughing. "Nobody's happy about it." Fire dept. generator will fuel game Over the weekend, Kostecki ran into the town's fire chief and they came up with a solution to the problem. The local fire department has a diesel-powered generator that needs to be run a few times a year and the chief is loaning it to the hotel, he said. "Instead of just burning the diesel for nothing, we decided to wire up our satellite and our TVs in the bar and we're going to watch the game by candlelight and cook hotdogs on the barbecue," he said. The hotel will charge patrons $10 at the door and all proceeds will go to the community's skating rink. Getting on the Winnipeg bandwagon? Vancouver has as Jets win again "We're trying to fix the roof, and put in some new lighting in there, so it's going to a great cause," Kostecki said. The Winnipeg Jets face off against the Vegas Golden Knights at 7 p.m. CT Monday at Bell MTS Place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
