JMO This pales in comparison to the public level of immediate STH support the Jets received.
He also said when asked do you think there would be a problem with visiting players being out on the strip... he chuckled that the Thunder had the best home record in the league and he said they only lost 3 or 4 home games out of 41 one particular year.
I havn't been a fan of the NHL going to LV in the first place but after hearing that interview it only reinforces my opinion the NHL should be looking at much more practical hockey climate in QC or Seattle.
