We were told for the longest time that this fanbase and media wouldnt tolerate a rebuild
Am I reading this wrong? How did the yotes not sell out.
Also sharks at 76%? I know they’re shit but that’s 11% off of the ducks. Blue jackets were showing up too.
EDIT: the yotes did sell out, 4600 is the capacity for NHL games. The source was calculating with 5000 (NCAA capacity) for some reason.
You hear that hockey gods? does this offering please you
Jets at 14K? Lmao no way QC wouldn’t beat that.
League overall = +7.9%
Coyotes = -60.3%
The Laval Rocket has a better average home attendance (7647) than the Coyotes.
That’s great and all, but weren’t there a bunch of games in 2021-22 when the Bell Centre was at lower capacity because of provincial Covid restrictions, and at least one (against the Flyers, I think?) that was played in a completely empty arena?
Glad the Habs went up so much.
They were fun to watch most of the season
