Hating the Avalanche is a good thing!
I was a season ticket holder and die hard Blackhawks fan until 1996.
The owner Bill Wirtz insisted upon giving away every star we had (Belfour, Roenick, Chelios, Amonte, etc..) while raising ticket prices every year, and refusing to air home games on TV.
I am now a 8 year season ticket holder for the Chicago Wolves who are the primary affiliate for the Atlanta Thrashers.
The Wolves have won 3 Championships in 11 years, and my season tix are over ONE THOUSAND dollars less than what I payed for the Slackhawks... oh, BTW, I sit on the aisle, center ice, 5 rows from the glass.
Fuck da NHL, hahahahahah!
BEES FOR EVERYONE!
