Barzal unhappy with Fan Support/Attendance at UBS Arena

[MattMartin]

That's unfortunate.

Yep, we had Stanley Cup expectations this season...oh wait..that's that other team.

Overpaid whiny person complains that people/families making upwards of 100x less per year than him don't pay for the privilege to cheer for him.

 

[The Hanging Jowl]

Sorry Matt but if you expect people to pay $100 for a ticket, 8 bucks for a hotdog and 20 bucks for a beer all so you can make $9M/year, you need to do a little better than last in your division. People not spending their hard-earned money on crap is kind of, you know, how it works.

 

[Coach Reggie Dunlop]

Someone in here said they spent 500 for tickets, that is absurd for 1 game, for some people that’s their whole after taxes take for a weeks worth of work. I love the sport of hockey, I love other sports too, but if this is how the prices keep going I almost hope these leagues fail. This is absolutely no way to treat the working and middle classes. I saw Stevie wonder in concert with relatively good tickets for just under 150. If you think I’m spending 200+ dollars to watch some bum ass players who are overpaid mail it in all season you got another thing coming.

He said it on the bench not knowing that he was on camera. It's not as if it was a postgame interview, it's not a big deal.

Keep your negative comments to yourself or to the owner. You don't want to hear your best player talking shit on the bench.

I’m a bit skeptical that everyone would say Barzal was saying this if they were shown the clip without seeing the alleged quotes first.

But maybe most people are way more effective at lip reading than I am and I’m just missing it.

Might be confusing because the tweet in the OP is actually wrong, but it does get the gist of what he’s saying

“This place is f***ing empty, [something]”
*dude next to him leans in likely bc he didn’t hear him*
“This place is empty.” (Long pause) “it’s a f***ing joke”

Yep, we had Stanley Cup expectations this season...oh wait..that's that other team.

Honest mistake, Isles haven't had those since the 80s, I could see why you would get confused.

14,000 doesn't sound that empty.
