I do have to wonder how things like ticket/merch sales and TV viewership are doing. I live far away so rarely get to a game in person anymore but I’ve gone from watching every game to maybe a 1/3 or so. My brother and dad are more casual fans typically who watch 1/2 the games or so in a typical season and I don’t think they’ve watched a game since December.I agree there's no point in firing him now, but if Trotz keeps him going into next year, I will likely not buy a single ticket.
I mentioned this in another thread, but I was shocked at how cheap you can get into a game now. I looked at the Ottawa game and you were getting in for $16 a seat. I don't have much interest in going, as I assume a lot of people don't...but it's cheap enough that you can turn that into a family outing now.I do have to wonder how things like ticket/merch sales and TV viewership are doing.

Yep he needs to be gone next year. If he isn't.... Oof.I agree there's no point in firing him now, but if Trotz keeps him going into next year, I will likely not buy a single ticket.
Not nearly enough put aside for beer to make it through the gameTickets: $16
Fees: $30
Parking: $20
Beer and Hot Dog: $40
Watching Justin Barron spend half the game behind the other team's net? Priceless

It's hilariously sad how no one in Preds media or our organization didn't realize we actually just sucked until recently. So many people seemed to think because we rebounded after a slow start last year we'd be able to do it again, but it was pretty clear from the get go this team was going to be bad. Last season we were blowing third period leads early on in the season where as this one we were pretty much out of the game by the third period which are drastically different situations.Yeah there is no reason to keep Bruno next year but agreed he can stay this season. It's too late to fix it but slightly annoyed that those media folks saying in December to give it more time are now using words like "inexplicable" to describe the season.
Actually a lot us saw this in November. The roster and the coaching don't match.
And we gave away our third best d man for nothing.
What I find disturbing is just before Trotz came out and said we weren't buyers all the radio hosts and podcast people said the day before it was time to sell. As if they got the ok to say it.It's hilariously sad how no one in Preds media or our organization didn't realize we actually just sucked until recently.
