Here is a Team Marketing Report and a glimpse at sample average ticket prices from around the NHL. Even though some of this information is inaccurate and paints our pricing as better than it really is, see where we stand in relation to the rest of the NHL. I hope our fans believe they are getting fair value and good prices on tickets. This chart is instructive and I hope will quell any concerns that we charge too much for our tickets even though I am quite empathetic to the costs of taking a family of four out to a game these days.

And we aren’t as bad as you think we are.
We are three games in and we are 2-1. Last year, we were 3-0 and then couldn’t win a game for months on end it seemed. 
It is too early to see any trends or any telltale signs so just enjoy the games. Time will tell if we deserve any of the hype we have been receiving.
