Gold Out The Garden

Trying again.

I think I may understand more than you think. I’ve been through more relocation rumors than you can shake a stick at, my GM being just as inactive, and awful attendance problems. I just don’t think your solution is a good one. We can agree to disagree.

Sorry if posting the link was upsetting; feel free to delete it. I chose to do that instead of write out a similar lengthy comment.

There’s a lot I disagree with in this statement, but I’m going to go with…

The Bruins aren’t the only team that’s ever had a disappointing year, and not even the only one this year. Most of those fans don’t turn their back on the team. Obviously the bandwagon fans will. Have you been reading Toronto sports media? They advocate this same thing.

The team is a bummer this year. I’ll buy your tickets for Sunday if you’re really not going.

Why are Bruins fans the only ones that will understand? A good number of NHL franchises have been through what the Bruin’s are going through right now.

I understand it’s your site and all, but quite frankly, I don’t understand why Burton’s counterpoint angers you so much.

The front office and coaching staff may well need a message sent. But refusing to support the team on the ice shows misguidance. Try something more to the point, like a Fire Peter Chiarelli rally, similar to Rangers fans a couple of weeks ago.

See my last post about Julien

Yeah, they actually do get a pizza party. Or something like that.

the concession sales are relatively immaterial. If not delaware north, then its aramark or other distributor. plus, you’re not advocating “attend and don’t buy anything.” you’re advocating

Send a message to the Bruins organization by letting this heartless team play in front of a seas of empty gold seats.

We all knew Carolina wasn’t winning anything either last year, but we also know how that turned out. The Bruins tend to play better on the road anyhow, so you know that they might actually play better with no fans/rangers fans only.

You and I both know the Bruins have no shot at winning a playoff series. I’d rather see them get a better draft pick

I could argue more, but I’m going to leave it here. Four of five Predator playoff teams haven’t had a snowball’s chance in hell of winning a series, but do I want them to not make it? Hell and no. I don’t want to debate someone who would rather his team pick higher than make the playoffs.

Hahaha. Don’t worry, the booing the hometeam in Boston is almost getting to mildly-annoyed-MSG-crowd levels. In that people are booing the team off the ice regularly.

Agreed, man. They are bad but they’re in the east, which is generably a terrible conference

However in terms of point percentage they are over .500

Thank you. Take away the charity points and they are 31-39 hockey team.

if they win everyone will be happy again.

In the long run I will stay w/ them. Maybe that makes me a fan. Maybe that makes me a sucker. I don’t know which.

Here’s a hint: It makes you a fan.
