Everyone in the city loves the team. It's a small city, but it is so dense with hockey love. <BR/><BR/>I just don't get this contempt and hostility to our team these days. It's like we poured sugar in their gas tank.FrenchCatalogueshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17652256431671599155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3345962750124330515.post-75376651611613209392008-07-08T12:11:00.000-04:002008-07-08T12:11:00.000-04:00Maali- I think the Falconer means that even though...Maali- I think the Falconer means that even though Edmonton is a hockey-mad city, it's a relatively small city with not a ton of people to go round. Atlanta and Miami have much, much bigger populations. But of course Edmonton is sold out almost every game. <BR/><BR/>The point, I think, is that Burnside can't seem to make up his mind as whether a hockey team should be eliminated because it's a small city, an underperforming team, bad management, or a non-traditional market that isn't generating interest. He's very confused.Mortimer Peacockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04624643069613171619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3345962750124330515.post-19497383150480122992008-07-08T10:49:00.000-04:002008-07-08T10:49:00.000-04:00Perhaps Scott Burnside would feel differently if h...Perhaps Scott Burnside would feel differently if he had a horse in the game...Big Shooterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13151606706839891986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3345962750124330515.post-8813396750328122512008-07-08T08:07:00.000-04:002008-07-08T08:07:00.000-04:00Re #2: I don't like Falconer and won't read him, b...Re #2: I don't like Falconer and won't read him, but did that dipship really say Edmonton is a small hockey market?
