I care! Although to be fair, the frustration level is hitting maximum as we console ourselves with the weekly "Blue Jackets Classic" and "NHL Revisited" broadcasts. I want my hockey back, darn it!
Believe it or not, 13,000+ people were at Nationwide last week for the AHL Syracuse Crunch's annual game on Blue Jacket ice. Now, keep in mind that Nationwide holds 18K+ for hockey.
So far, everyone has remained on the CBJ payroll to this point, but who knows how much longer the owner can afford to do that? The arena district restaurants are hurting as well, it's a great place and hopefully it can hold on until hockey returns.
Yeah, I'm an eternal optimist. Yeah, I know Bettman is the devil. Yeah, I know that most likely this season AND next is lost. Even so, I want my hockey back.
