Do They Care in New Jersey

by Mark on April 27th, 2007

Are hockey fans in New Jersey bored with the team’s success and the fact the Deveils have won three Stanley Cups? You’d think they were suffering from a bad case of fan fatigue given there were several thousand empty seats for last night’s conference semi-final game against the Ottawa Senators. Maybe tickets are too expensive? Or maybe hockey fans in New Jersey are just pragmatic given there could be another six weeks or so of playoff hockey so why rush to a game if there could be more games later. In any event, it’s got to be fairly embarrassing for the NHL to see one of its marquee teams struggle to draw a full house.
