So again what is wrong with being profitable but less profitable than others in the smallest market in the NHL?
If there was a lower 1/3 US club making just enough profits to take care of themselves you would be fine with it but because it is a Canadian club it needs to be a flagship franchise for some reason, that is unrealistic.
The article talks about widespread single ticket sales on game day. No evidence no collaboration from TNSE just an article released when the team is on a poor home losing skid. They are just selling papers here not this doom that some on here really would prefer to happen.
At this point all of the guys who said it wont work blah blah blah are wrong and all of the opinions with no facts to prove otherwise.
Until I see TNSE or the NHL make a statement about poor revenues in Winnipeg the critics and guesses to date are wrong and that is a fact.
