"Ten previous host venues had average crowds of at least 17,806 for the Frozen Four, according to NCAA records, and the 13,624 at the Frozen Four national championship game Saturday in Buffalo was the lowest attendance for the title game since 2001."

imagine that, joe the plumber can't afford $300 a ticket to take his family of 4 to the frozen 4



he gets better value waiting on a future huey lewis and the news tour

Did that tried that and where did it get us ?

The game is all about speed and skill you wouldn’t female dog about having Johnny hockey or Brad Marchand or Arvidsson or DeBrincat a guy breaks the records by Patrick Kane , Phil Kessel , Auston Matthews and you question him ? Didn’t you learn your lesson after Cat?

Yup. Give me Dach or Couzens at #7. Size, skill and strength down the middle is what's important in the playoffs.

Yet I got a couple of phone calls from the ticket office trying to get me to buy tickets at a far less value.

"The local organizing committee that secured the bid to bring the Frozen Four to Buffalo included Pegula Sports and Entertainment and the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference, of which Canisius is a member.

Through a spokesman, Pegula Sports and Entertainment referred comment to the NCAA, regarding low attendance at the Frozen Four in Buffalo.

“We haven’t dove into all the reasons that might have impacted attendance yet,” Steve Metcalf, the NCAA’s Division I hockey committee chairman and deputy director of athletics at the University of New Hampshire, told the News Saturday, prior to the national championship game. “I think it’s probably due to a combination of different things. Everyone would have loved to see more people come to the games.”

Maher also said a post-mortem of the event will be done both by the NCAA and the local organizing committee in the next couple of weeks.

Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz theorized Sunday on Twitter why the event was a low draw: cost-prohibitive.

"When we made the pitch for the bid NCAA officials said so many people travel to attend it annually regardless of who was in the 4 that most tickets would be sold before. That wasn't the case. Price was an issue, so was poor Sabres season IMO hurting marketing and other things," he tweeted."

"The cost of tickets was also tied to the bid that the committee submitted to the NCAA in 2016 for Buffalo to serve as host. Potential tickets prices were included in Buffalo's bid to the NCAA in 2016, although the NCAA had to approve final ticket prices based on the recommendation of the local organizing committee, a spokesman said."

I think the low attendance could also be attributed to fans in this area having watched enough (bad) hockey with the Sabres.

They have killed interest in the sport in western ny.

Same with the world juniors last year.

I've seen enough hockey in person (personally) this year,, unless the amerks play a game downtown in buffalo

When did Yost start writing for the Buffalo News?

Also I don't hate this idea:

https://buffalonews.com/2...-free-agency-travis-yost/

Re-sign Skinner

Skinner Eichel Olofsson
Nylander Karlsson Reinhart

I don't hate it

- Stripes77


A few things though:

1) he’s an RFA, so what do we have to trade to get him?
I highly doubt Vegas will just dump the guy cheaply. He still had a pretty good year

2) what’s it cost to sign him?
And does it make sense if we can just sign someone like Hayes for less and not have to give up anything in a trade?

3) where does he slot in 2 years from now, when Mitts has our 2C spit locked down?
And once Mitts starts taking away his offensive opportunities, how much will Karlsson’s numbers drop?
And will those numbers even come close to justifying the contract we’ll have to sign him to this summer?


Kinda seems like an idea I’d pass on when i consider all of the above questions

He only makes sense to me if:
-we trade for him cheap
-he’s willing to sign a reasonable contract
-we build our team with 3 scoring lines & a 4th line defensive unit

Idk if the 1st 2 things are a possibility?
