  10. Former NHL City most deserving of a second chance?

    Matt: Huh? 15 000? Did you check the price? Did you steal the NHL's numbers?

    The actual PAID tickets turn around 12 000. Get your facts straight. Giveaways don't count as income, especially if they don't come to the game.

    http://www.fromtherink.com/2009/6/3/897211...endance-figures

    + It's quite a difference when your arena can have 18 000 and the Nords or Jets could take 14 500 or less.

    And counting the last year of a franchise, or dates after the announcement of a moving is bullshit. Can't fill an arena with people you announced to you were taking theyr team away.

    Very sleuthy.... I am curious where data like this for all NHL teams can be seen, instead of random blogs around the internet? It would be imprudent to make your statements based only on the Coyotes, when similar data may exist for the Jets in their last year.

    to extend this argument, paid tickets do not represent total income. TV attendance is a big part of it, and is a reason why TruePenFans wish of the Dakotas or Maine getting a hockey team will never happen. Everyone has a peachy view of Quebec and Winnipeg packing arenas and being profitable, but if that were the case why did the owners bail?

    I would discredit your argument that people won't come if you are taking away a franchise, I would think people would come to get a last chance to see them. Tit for tat:)

    Truth: I never said those locations deserve a team more than Toronto deserves a 2nd team. Let go of your delusions, man.

    I am already liking this conversation.

    I just decided to supply people with logic when it comes to the discussion of what city "deserves" an NHL team in the event that Phoenix or Atlanta (or any team in Florida?) relocates. The numbers don't support the 3 locations you've cited..

    I apologize for my delusions. I'd love to continue this conversation in an educated manner, as I feel it lends itself to such a conversation.

    Here's some more truth for you: hockey was less popular back then as opposed to now. If those same southern markets had NHL teams BACK THEN, their attendance numbers would have been even lower than those previous markets were at that time.

    truth: let it go man. There is a reason those locations don't have franchises right now. It makes more sense for Toronto to have a 2nd team than any of those 3 locations to have a team.

    some truth for you:

    Whalers attendance last 3 years of existence: 11,822 11,967 13,680

    Hurricanes attendance last 3 years: 17,386 16,663 16,572

    Oh... but there's more:

    Jet's attendance last 3 years of existence: 13,297 13,013 11,316

    Coyotes attendance last 3 years: 14,988 14,820 14,875

    I don't even need to do Quebec and Colorado.

    I think people have a rosy vision of the past when they claim Winnipeg, Hartford, and Quebec "deserve" NHL teams. It seems these Southern teams are doing a better job of attracting fans. Putting a team in Maine or the Dakotas is business suicide. Just because a place is cold doesn't mean it can better handle a pro sports franchise. I hope you are ready to discuss now:)

  18. Ilya Kovalchuk and Thrashers struggling..

    in NHL Discussion

    Posted

    This is a great deal for the Devils. They gave up some good young players to acquire Kovalchuk; however, Kovalchuk greatly improves their chances of winning the cup this season. More importantly, the Devils can find the cap flexibility needed to afford a long-term contract for Kovalchuk. I don't think the Devils are done dealing yet; look for them to trade Brian Rolson (he's a hair over $5 million on the cap) and/or Dainius Zubrus ($3.40 million on the cap) to put themselves in better position to handle Kovalchuk's contract.

    The Devils just made their stamp for a run towards the Stanley Cup. As a Penguins fan, let me be the first to say.... FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU....

    Hi. I'm Tickenest. You may remember me from such online NHL '94 leagues as NHL '94 Classic Leagues I-V, the SNES NHL '94 Juiced League, both Capitalism Leagues, and I'm also the only North American to play in Finnish NHL '94 leagues. I stopped playing about a year and a half ago, but I think I'll start playing again. Hit me up on AIM (I'll be on it more frequently these days) if you're interested.

    Also, older guys, I haven't been following developments since I left. Anything I should be aware of since I left?

    update: old people like yourself have been replaced with spunky teenagers. Be aware of that. And unlike in Hispanic culture where the old are appreciated and revered, these youth are just waiting to ship us off to the old-folks home with a Coleco to forget about us. Hit me up for a game!

    Happy New Years!

  24. KEGA

    in Blitz General Discussion

    Posted

    Why dont more people use kega?

    Gens is super chunky/lagy for some people, yet nobody will even try playing with kega anymore. It was seen as the emulator to replace gens but then quickly faded as people wouldn't change (I was one who was against mandatory changing to kega) but it should be an option.

    The game resembles the real 94 on genesis much more as the FPS usually stays STEADY AT 60 fps, sometimes dipping a bit but usually stays at 60. While gens goes crazy with fps from 20s to 66fps.

    I like gens but against some guys its just guaranteed going to be a bad connection, thats why kega should atleast be an option.

    This will be a list of Blitz4 coaches willing to play kega if asked, (doesnt mean you have to just that your open to it if asked)

    Having played both, I would say that I prefer Gens. My guess is most coaches do, thus killing the Kega fad. I agree that there are times the Gens emulator seems to speed up the game play, but I just as frequently had issues with Kega slowing it down. The connection is a wash between the two in my experience. Ultimately, I prefer the full screen of Gens (no stretching) and I found my controls to be a little tighter in the Gens, thus my preference.

    I am just throwing my 2 cents in there in case you are interested Habs (and other Kega supporters). We can split our season between Kega and Gens if you would like. Or if Kega works out fine, we can just stick with that.
