Sigh...time to get the ruiner...since this isn't all that impresssive.

The Coyotes did worse on two occasions last season...

10-31-09 - 6,495 (37.9%)
11-2-09 - 5,855 (34.2%)

In fact a lot of teams did comparably bad...

Saturday, January 30th, 2010 – Chicago Blackhawks @ Carolina Hurricanes – 6,896 in attendance

This is the only game that should honestly be thrown out, because the night before, the roads were solid ice.

Also, estimated actual attendance of that games was 5,000ish. Yotes players were calling out the fans in PHX afterward.

It surprises me that the Kings do so well attendance-wise. It must be because of their new talent, because I went to a game at the Staples Center back in 2004 and there were probably 10,000 people there at the most.

Yeah, not quite correct since the one Rangers game I referenced was when NY/NJ was buried under 3+ feet of snow. So if you're going to whine about the Carolina F-sticks, then you have to whine about the Rags/Devils.

In other words, your homer is showing.

Alex, no you're plain wrong.

What snow removal equipment does North Carolina have? New York can handle 3+ feet of snow, North Carolina gets 4 inches and everything shuts down and we have to wait for it to melt.

What do you have to say then? That's not an excuse for a Northern Market, they deal with snow way more then here. We get on average maybe one snowfall a year, and if it sticks, we're fucked for a few days.

I'm telling you how it is.

4 Inches, you pussies...I can take up to 8 inches before I shut it down...

Uh not everywhere in NYS is equipped to handle three feet of snow. Probably only Buffalo and Oswego. The NYC storm knocked out power for thousands of people and set daily and monthly records. Don't compare that to southern residents being unable to deal with a half inch of snow.

Well when the roads are ice, and there is nothing a southern state can do to stop that ice, how the fuck do you expect people to go to a fucking hockey game then?

I know snow, I lived in it for most of my life. But when the roads are THICK ICE, you're not going out.

Come down here when we have a few inches of ice, and see how terrible the roads are, I went skating on the damn roads that night because the ice was so thick. Cars down here don't have snow tires, and don't need them because it hardly snows.

I know you hate the Canes and everything about the team, but you're being a moron with that game. Conditions were terrible, why would people risk their lives on a road you can't see the lines to go watch hockey, especially when those people probably have never driven in snow before.

And here it's more ice then snow anyways, and I don't care where you're from, if you're on ice, unless you have steel tracks with spikes, your car will slide around.

My whole point was that you show bias in only mentioning the Carolina game.

Both games had winter conditions that the municipality was ill equipped to deal with. Thus if you're going to comment that one should be stricken, you have to mention the other, otherwise you're just a homer. There are winter conditions in which New Yorkers are just as helpless as southerners. Just because NY gets more snow doesn't mean that every municipality can deal with any amount. I reiterate that the NY storm was a record snowstorm.



You're the one that decided to be a dick and take a shot at my supposed northern bias, and I responded. Next time you might not want to do it in a thread that involves two northern markets that I ridicule every chance I get anyways.

Raleigh also has 50 plows and 200 snow workers. Not exactly "fucked for days." They're not helpless to deal with snow. The assertion that the roads sucked the night before and not the night of kind of calls the situation into question.

Not sure how much Raleigh salts its roads either, but with that size of a winter workforce, Raleigh probably could have cleaned up alright before gametime.

The roads were just as terrible the night before. Raleigh does some stupid brine solution and all it ever does is rain before it snows, then it just freezes since all that salt just gets washed away.

No, Raleigh can handle maybe a few inches of snow at a time, maybe. But the plows we have, are nothing like a northern plow is. We don't have anything as big as that, and if we do they only use them to keep the highways clear. They don't care for the backroads or other roads besides the main ones.

Why I only called out one game, because I didn't care to look at the other game, since I happen to already know about one game I wasn't going to look for the other game also.

You don't always need to argue every point, you can pick one point and argue it out instead of the whole thing and that's what I did.

My cousin lives in Kure Beach, NC, and spends a decent amount of time traveling near Raleigh.

She's commented on more than on occasion that the entire state shuts down any time they get more than an inch of snow or ice. They might have some of the equipment, but from what she says they just don't know how to deal with it.

Fair enough, I'm done arguing. Now I'm bored again. :/

It's funny to see it honestly. It's just that pathetic.

As I said, we get more ice then snow anyways, and they put salt down, but they need to do what Northern states do and put salt with sand and that crap down instead, and not just plain salt.

Both my Grandmas, an uncle, and several of my cousins have said similar things about the state shutting down, but that driving conditions aren't really that bad, and my cousins have never lived outside of NC.
