Seems like the politically smart thing to do. After the vote, it was clear a lot of people are actively uninterested in having a local team so appealing to them would be an overall gain
So apparently the mayor leaked these letters for some reason. It seems even meeting with the owner of the Coyotes to discuss investing in a new arena wasn't worth the time
Well, SJ finally get their first win of the season. Not a pretty win, and some more accurate shots would have seen an easy Flyers victory, but a win nonetheless
Blackwood doing a great job in net this game in general, even if this does turn out to be a Flyers goal
EDIT: aaaand it is a Flyers goal. It was bound to happen some time this game
Anyways, the Sharks did less terrible than I feared, actually ending the first period not only not giving up six goals but being ahead by one. It's a tenuous lead though, as the Flyers are outshooting them by a lot and they're bound to get some through eventually. It'll be an interesting one
Well, this game is a must watch for me. Which will win out: the Sharks drive into the record books, or the Flyers ability to disappoint at just the right moments? I'm sure we're going to see some very fascinating flubs this game
Part of me wishes they had this form when I visited SJ all those years ago, tickets costing as little as $7 sounds pretty nice even if they are terrible
