Sutter unhappy

No, they're wrong! That's Sutter's happy face.

How common are 7 game homestands? Flames had a lot of their home games bunched together due to having home games previously cancelled due to Covid. Does a 7 game homestand happen ever?

I wonder if NYI has any given their lengthy road trip because of their building.

The Islanders had 7 home games in a row from Dec. 16 to Jan. 17, but obviously there were COVID cancellations in there. Their record in those games was 5-1-1.

Then, after a short ride to Philly, they were back for another 7 home games from Jan. 21 to Feb. 2. On that home stand they were 3-4-0.

They also have a 6-game home stand in March.

Funny enough, the Islanders had two 7-game home stands this year. Sure it had a lot due to the new arena, but you are right, not something that will be happening very often.

Z Interview Part 3
Starting @53:00 - 1:01:00
The Dome Being Quiet
Interviewer: We were at your game last night, and it was very unusual and strange how quiet it was. We even caught ourselves trying not to speak too loudly because then everyone would hear it. It was dead silent. Yes, I understand COVID, and half capacity.
Zadorov: When we had 18,000 it was similar.
I: Why is that? Why are the fans so bad at cheering here?
Z: From my understanding, Calgary is a business city of rich people. There are many companies - Oil companies, hedgefunds and so on. They essentially bought out most of the season tickets. They give those tickets to their employees, some get to go to one game, others to another. That way we get a lot more white collar fans than hardcore fans. Also, like I was saying, Canadians understand the game of hockey, a lot more than Americans.
I: They also love it a lot more.
Z: They love it, but they also understand it. They understand the game. Why yell for no reason if you went to watch the game.
I: That's true, they yell only when something is happening.
Z: They understand the ebbs and flows of the game. Americans come to enjoy the show. They come to drink, have fun, dance, appear on the jumbo-tron. It's all a part of the show. Here, in Canada, the people come to watch the game of hockey.
I: Where do hockey players prefer to play?
Z: Obviously, when everyone is yelling and screaming it creates a better atmosphere, at least for me. The playoffs here have an amazing atmosphere though. When we were playing in Calgary with Colorado, it was absolutely crazy.
I: What's the difference? The white collar crowd doesn't show up to the playoffs?
Z: Playoffs are just different, nothing even comes close to the playoffs. That's why you want to play in the playoffs each year, because it's such a high, and so much fun.

What a thoughtful guy. Sutter magic in full effect.

I assume we are all the rich people.

Well, we live in Calgary (most of us) and we are Flames fans.

So yes, yes we are.

The club seating is indeed a bunch of sadsacks, I always end up sandwiched between 2 grumpy old dudes in suits that are more interested in their phone than the game

[AustinL_NHL]

Yea, I've been to our last 4 home games and despite all the winning, I'm always only 1 of 3 or 4 guys among the group of people around me that stands up and cheers after goals are scored.

I'd say 60%+ of the people around me just stay seated when goals are scored.

Kind of a vibe killer.
