Like no other year, Panthers need a fast start.

So looking at all the footage from yesterday one thing that screamed at me was the low fan attendance. Perfect weather yesterday yet the bleachers were mostly empty. Honestly it looks less than half the crowd from last year to me. Last year was on a Wednesday and the weather was hotter if memory serves. I don't think I have ever seen it that empty since 2010.

This is what I was worried about when no big changes were made to the coaching staff last year. Die hard fans like you fine folks are excited. But, there is not a lot of excitement out there with the casual fans. I pray the Panthers come out with a fast start and win immediately. If not, BoA will quickly turn into a haven for visiting fans as fair weather PSLers sell sell sell.

People will show up, as you said, with wins. The questions is: can this staff win with this team. Can they go the distance. 

It’s playoffs or bust. I’m typically not an absolutist about these things, but I was surprised Hurney/Ron and much of the staff survived choking away a 6-2 start.

They must win, and win now. Fans will always show up for that, even if Ron is still the coach.

For sure. But adding no real changes after said dump ain't exactly hyping up this season.

Seems like there have been a lot of changes, no? McCoy, Irvin, Burns, 3-4, Cam’s health.... 

i was definitely surprised how small the crowd was

This isn’t accurate. Our fan base isn’t close to the top fan bases - it’s somewhere in the middle. But it’s FAR from the bottom. 

Forbes rated us in the bottom 20% in an article last year. Based on away game fan attendance, true fan % for home games and ticket resells, and lastly games viewed via broadcast.

it was measurements taken from the last 6 years. 

 

Let me add that you guys are doing an amazing job and I really appreciate you and everything you have accomplished

Well if Forbes says so....

I’ve gone to a lot of away games (read: all of them) the last six years. I’ll go with my eyeball measurement vs Forbes telling me what % of the fans are cheering for which team.

Can’t ignore data. I am not trying to offend you. 

It’s just the way it currently is. Also, right now I’m going to lean more toward the data points rather than your perspective, unless you can tell me why we had a less than ideal turn out yesterday based on your findings over the last few years?

      25-26 NHL Regular Season Thread

      Great article on all the Lil Canes attending their debutantes ball. Walt with a great breakdown of all the rookies, as always, and I'm a huge fan of his team coverage, he is truly a treasure, but as a fan of mixed metaphors and superfluous language which some might ignorantly refer to as a "run-on sentence" I never really understood what that mean or where to put the comma after a quote in the middle of a sentence, but holy poo Walt, this is a gem, "While there's a long road left in front of them left to determine whether or not they'll have that same success on the blue line again, the beginning stretch of the journey has been thrown a wrench, and the story on defense has been the emergence of up-and-comers forced into becoming lineup regulars." , bravo, take a bow, sir!

      Canes vs Rags 7pm

      When the broadcast showed the two benches side by side during the last TV timeout, it was pretty obvious the whole operation is a shitshow. If I was the owner, I would play that clip, with commentary, on the jumbotron at MSG as I fired the coach, GM, President, the whole lot. Bring in your AHL leadership team, wholesale, to finish out the season and start from scratch next year.  Can't fire all the players and fold the season. But, hopefully decapitating the zombie will light a fire under the body and burn out the cancer of the roster. (It makes sense if you don't think about it...) There are obviously issues on the roster. But, you can't have the entire coaching staff completely tuned out with 5 minutes left in a 2 goal game this early in the season. And you can't trust the people that hired them to hire the next staff. If you trust your AHL GM/Scouts, let them run the deadline firesale.   ...     Please don't let the owner read any of this. Because, this poo is hilarous!
