We as fans have SOME control. If people would stop going to GM Place to watch this sad excuse for a "PRO" hockey team, I'm sure the people in charge of the Canucks would take notice. I hear it all the time in interviews "Hockey is a business". Why then would any good business man spend more money to improve his product when he's already making maximum profit? 200+ consecutive sell-outs says it all. The Vancouver hockey fan deserves better...MUCH better.
You're right in the sense of fans having control by not going to the games. Why would any good business man spend more money? Think of all the revenue the franchise loses out on by not being part of the playoffs. There is A LOT more money to be made the farther you go down. Im sure any good business man would think of how they can make even more profits than they already are. Money talks, and for the canucks, hopefully it talks to some unrestricted free agent superstars this summer..
