I have stated this before...love the game, hate how the league is being run...felt cheated at times when paying massive amounts of money.
I once paid $150 for a Flames game in Calgary and traded a losing scratch off ticket for a Panthers game in Florida the same season. Then our drafted and devloped star goes there and they reap the rewards and the league/media now acts like he is the greatest thing around after hating on him for years. Small markets Canadian teams are being taken advantage of IMO.
It's kinda a silly personal protest really but I feel good about not supporting a league that I feel plays favourites with certain teams and therefore certain fans.
Coleman goal was the last straw...pride tape has reinforced my resolve.
I watch a ton of games but the NHL doesn't get a cent from me.
The league wanting the Oilers in the conference finals over the Flames was no secret, and they did what they could in our building full of paying customers to make it happen. People spending over 1000 a seat in some cases. They already had the McDavid vs. Mackinnon promos made lol
