Anyone up on, or interested in venturing a guess on what tricks, incentives, (bobbitts) the NHL will come up with to get hockey folk back on 'er side.

Or what they should/could do???

Me first:
For one; they need to get folks back to the arena so their pro_game magic can work on 'em, so how about the good old; buy one ticket, get a second at half price sale.
Should work okay in some markets, right?

For most of their Southern markets, they need to come up with a whole lot more.
Stuff like Go-Cart ice races before n after games, and in between periods.
American HeeHaa Idiol competions before n after games, and in between periods.
Monster trucks, lots of monster trucks.
You know, neat stuff like that, ought to do 'er up real good.









GO HOCKEY...Fuc the NHL

In Canada they will do nothing but open the doors. It's the only marketing strategy they need. If fans were smart they would boycott for a year. I wrote 'if'.

What would a boycott at this point in time accomplish? We're not about to see huge rollbacks in ticket prices, especially in a place like Calgary where the salary cap is about in line with what they would've paid anyway.

A boycott would send a message that fans can't be taken for granted.

Okay, I'm sold, I'm boycotting.
Now what would it take to get me to be not boycotting.

hummmn, free tickets to a wpg hurricane game might do it. :wink:
