No one is going around the real issue, Eagles fans did not invent the concept of "not supporting a loser", that exists in all sports. Right now the Eagles suck, plain and simple, the reasons for which may differ from fan to fan, I for one look at injuries as the main factor that we are not closer to .500 on the season, but hey my glass is half full. Someone pulled the conversation to "entertainment", I will defend the players and the evolution of the game all day. I see Connor Garland was mentioned above, 9 min shifts and zero respect for teammates is the farthest thing from entertainment in my mind, but to others maybe that is what they pay to see. Personally, I like what I see from the young players and our accumulated assets, whether or not the long time fan or season ticket holder can jump on board and have patience to watch it play out, is a personal choice. In the meantime, Management can easily find ways to bring bodies into the building while we all piss and moan about the entertainment value of a $22 ticket. There have been some great suggestions by posters on this board. Hats off to the Islanders..they have some serious promo's going on to attract fans.. Student/Teacher night. $4.00 drinks ...brilliant. For of age students..Thursday was always the best night! When you only have 1 win its way more then some injuries. Garland put up back to back 120+ point seasons. Played in 33 playoff games over those 2 seasons. Yet was the furthest from entertainment to you? And management can easily...EASILY lol...find ways to bring bodies into a building that hasn't seen bodies in it for years. You're bordering on delusional with some of this lol I couldn't care less how many points Garland put up, at the time, I couldn't find anything about his game that I liked. What's more important, is the game he and Mr Irving were happy to let play out had to drastically change in order to play at the next level. So if anyone thinks that the CHL should be a clown league that provides selfish entertainment for playing the game the wrong way, I take offense to that. As far as EASY goes...I don't think the Isles hired a CEO of Fan Experience to come up with $4 beers and student night, so the trying is the EASY...will they come...that may be harder.

I am on my way over there now., but since we are splitting hairs...what I should have said, Management can easily find ways to entice new fans to come to the building. The $7.00 Sat ticket is a start I guess..just add the $4 beers.

The $7.00 Sat ticket is a start I guess..just add the $4 beers. Well since you brought that up ........I am a Season Ticket Holder so it works out that I am paying on average around $16 per ticket on an Adult Season Ticket ............I am starting to ask myself why ? ......I mean it guarantees my Seats but then again there are almost 4000 more to choose from ........if I am thinking it then you know there are others who are also . Then when you see all the Seniors on Fixed Incomes who attend games ....you have to ask how fair it is to them ? Currently their Season Ticket is only $50 less then an Adult One . It's a tough call I want Butts in the Seats but the Casual Fans are being treated better then the Long Serving Fan . It's like Bell and Eastlink who for years gave New Customers better deals then their Long Serving Customers . I really hope Shaw and MacIntosh are thinking about this as they walk around C200 and see their Familiar Faces who are North of 60 years of Age .

But you did have emotion towards him. You probably can't remember who the 4th liners were in the games Garland played but you remember hating Garland so as much as you say you didn't like him and he didn't play the right way you paid close enough attention to see all of that. Is there anyone in the league drawing that kind of emotion now? Like is there any player you just hate to watch? Any player you love to watch? For most people who have been following for a long time...that kind of emotion just doesn't seem to exist any more. But it did with Garland...people loved to hate him and I think thats actually a great thing because it meant people watched and noticed something and felt something. Not enough of that happens now.

I really hope Shaw and MacIntosh are thinking about this as they walk around C200 and see their Familiar Faces who are North of 60 years of Age . Its a slippery slope. They can't survive with only the STH support yet risk losing them by lowering prices for special events. I'd wager that if you miss 3-4 games per year you start to question whether the commitment is worth it when you start seeing random $7 tickets or $12.50 on Fridays if you have a family. They've put themselves in a position where they need to cater to the casual viewer because there's no franchise without more casual fans sticking around for more then 2 games per season. But there's also 3000 empty seats so why not go to people like yourself with a personal email and say "Hey Hal, thanks for sticking by us....here's a few vouchers we hope you can get in the hands of friends/family as a thank you" or some sort of goodwill gesture (swag, gift card to their store, etc) to keep you happy. How much money does it cost them to give you say 6 vouchers when they play in a rink thats 2/3 empty? This should be a year where they're doing everything possible to get people out because when they're good they're going to expect people to show up but I don't think thats going to happen like they think after being so bad for so long.

Anyone looking for "entertainment" Cam Henderson makes his Eagles debut tonight at home! Hot start in Jr. A with the Valley Wildcats, in 10 game he has 6G, 6A , 12 pts and 71 entertainment minutes!
Sorry, couldn't resist. LOL
In all seriousness, Henderson is another 05 prospect that could easily be a middle 6 player, who adds grit and compete , as me move thru this re-build.

Entertainment minutes I think he put up almost 50 of those in one game early in the year. Theres a roster spot on the line for at least one forward now. McCluskey, Henderson and Sanchez should all be chomping at the bit tonight. It's Henderson's to loose IMO, he's younger and has had a hot start in Jr. A.

Without question it is Henderson's job to lose. Sly commented in an article a few weeks back that Henderson was likely here for the 2nd half of the season. I am anxious to see him play.

Does anyone have an idea about how ticket sales are going for these two promoted games; the Battle of NS and Culli's Jersey Retirement?

I really hope it all works out for the Eagles. I enjoy our little Island rivalry we have going on.
