UNC average 16,000 that season versus 20,000 in the previous season when they were a #2 seed in the NCAA Tournament. All that means is there is only one dynamic that matters here and that is when a team stops playing well and even starts losing the fans stop coming. That is not a collegiate mentality, that is sports in general whether it be professional, college, or high school. And that is even more of a harsh reality in a market that is not a traditional hockey market and is still finding it's legs despite winning the Cup last season. And it is has been my experience that the so called collegiate mentality tends to be more loyal to a team or school(but not to the coach) than the professional mentality because colleges can depend on students as a fan base who get into games for free or a lower price versus a professional team which depends solely on the purchase of higher priced tickets. At that point it becomes sheer economics. Maybe not packed but not a complete drop off either.

Seems to happen to you a lot. I don't mind a good fristing now and again if I deserve it ( sort of like booing, really). But I think you should get your facts correct first. You have been repeatedly wrong in this thread. You're just mad that my fantasy team has been leading all year. ;) Gee, you’re wrong again. Seems to happen to you a lot.

Nothing I said had anything to do with female hockey fans. I was referring to the behavior on the board by certain posters, and I have no idea whether they are male or female, who brook no criticism of the team's performance, but only want to talk about how wonderful the boys are. I couldn't care less whether your chromosomes are XX, XY, XXY or fragile. I really don't care. I do care when self-appointed know it alls ban me from a board because I happened to critique the team. Other than that, you know nothing about me. You do not know how long I've been going to games. You do not know how loyal I am. For God's sake, I've been a Colts fan since I was 4 years old. You want to talk about long-suffering dedication? I would suggest you get off the permanent high-horse you have perched yourself upon, and dedicate your considerable writing talents to something other than berating people.

Booing and leaving early is the equivalent of having a tantrum and running home to mommy because you aren't getting your way. It's juvenile. And fan boards are straight from the devil anyway. Rejoicing with every goal and instant despair and 'they suck!' with every bad pass. I wish I could say for sure that the average age of people on the boards is 14, but sadly I don't think that's the case. Hear hear.

Turn those tickets over to me! I'll watch em win, lose, or anything else. You gotta wonder what the team thinks of us. All those booing jerkoffs make me sick. You don't boo the home crew. i almost decked this group of punks sitting behind me at the flyers on new years eve. (Forsberg was in the penalty box right beside me too).
