O you're a funny guy, aren't you supposed to be in class?
If you don't know, it must not be obvious eh?
Attendance is an important issue for potential FAs that are eligible to come and play in Washington. Who's going to want to play in front of a half empty building every night? O thats right Mark Messier didn't want to, you might of heard of him.
You keep dodging my original question: Why does attendance take anything away from the fact the Caps had a big Opening Night win against the defending champs?
Of course attendance matters on some levels. But you are Joe Blow fan. You are not a member of the organization nor do you benefit from the money that attendance could bring (unless you are head of a nearby business but considering you don't live in DC, your not). So what does it really matter?
