as someone who watches about 30 minutes of hungover outdoor nhl on New Year's Day, and maaybe 30 minutes total the rest of the year, if you told me youngstown was getting an nhl franchise downtown I'd probably get a 10-game season ticket package and watch with the same pattern/intensity I do the indians: 80% of games are at least on, and I'm in and out of paying attention.
I'm sure out of 300k people in Vegas at least a few are like me. then you also would have a LOT (I assume) of opposing fans every home game that scheduled their annual Vegas trip to include a night their team is playing.
probably would get a bunch of walkups too I'd imagine. '**** it lets get drunk at the hockey game for a period or two' sounds like something people could say, depending on where the arena was (I've never been to Vegas nor have I read where it would be). there's been multiple times we've been in Cleveland with no plans necessarily to go to a cavs game and are just partying nearby in a bar and as the scalpers realize it's 5 mins into the first quarter, I'd run outside and offer em like $20 total for two $60 tickets and wtf are they gonna do?
"awww cmon maan at least gimme $50"
"nevermind man idc gonna go back inside and finish my sammich and take more non-$14 shots"
one time we watched a kid keep trying for a few mins and at like 725pm on a 705pm tip off, he sullenly walks into the bar and goes, 'you still gimme $20?', 'YEP and I'll even buy you a shot let's go'.
went in, watched the 2nd quarter, drank at halftime and left at the start of the 4th when they stop selling beer.
GOTTA be a lotta people that would do **** like that in vegas, right? I mean, I get if you gotta go out of your way, find/take a taxi or whatever, but I've never been to a hockey game and I bet if I were in Vegas id find myself pumped to go to one...those Google #'s can't account for drunken wipers and those like him.
