scheduling events/promos around games has pretty much nothing to do with wins or losses.
oh and the rangers game yesterday was a surprise...what's funny is i'm not even very much of a rangers fan but since i'm in nyc i watch all their games. whatev hard to catch avs games sometimes because of the timing. |

i really think it has to do with sales numbers. both leetch and graves were retired on thrasher games and richter was retired on a wild game. only messier got the true treatment of retiring against his former team the oilers. maybe it's just coincidence, but i don't think so. |

what day of the week and when was messier's retirement exactly?
think of it like this, hypothetically teams can be classified into different tiers like platinum, gold, silver, bronze. no matter when it is when your team is playing a platinum level team people are going to go to the game. if your home team is playing a bronze level team on a weekend then families who can't go during the week will most likely go because of the timing plus throw in a special for 4 tickets with food and beverage included and there you go. now if you have a bronze level team on a wednesday that's a hard sell even season ticket holders don't go which sucks. anyhow, if i were a team i would schedule all my special events on days when people are least likely to attend like mid week against a bronze team. that way during that week, you bump up the business on a day which would normally be slow. since its special you have the benefit of keeping people in the arena longer (ie arena opened like 2hrs earlier than normal i belive) which increases their chances of spending their money. special merchandise to remember the event and most importantly between work and that game you had no real chance of eating dinner elsewhere so you know more people are going to buy food. ticket sales are good but there is really a fixed amount of money you can make from them; in sports food, beverage and merch sales are HUGE. tickets although important is just part of it (varying levels of importance from league to league obviously). either way i can go on and on but i'll stop :toothless...when it comes to sports unlike most i view things from a business perspective first then ease into enjoying a game. |

being sold out refers to the number of tickets sold not the number of people who actually go. i don't care what sport or what city the drop count number will not equal the number of tickets sold every time. |

not this city.
not toronto either.
and toronto really ing sucks. |

| ovechkin is on pace to break gretzky's all time record in goals. who thinks he will do it? |
|
|
| DuBam |
Yeah.. The pace is good. But he'll have to keep that pace for some 10-20 years if he's gonna break it.
Let's get back on this topic in ten or fifteen years, then we'll see. :p |

lol habs trade draft picks for mathieu schneider.
it isn't a bad move, and with all these defensemen you know that another trade is coming. with tangay coming back this week, if they pull off a good trade the season might not be tanked just yet. I ing hope so, it is getting pretty brutal suppoting these euro pansies now.:p |
