from Red Fisher of the Montreal Gazette,
The Red Wings are winners on the ice. Always have been, but the organization becomes a loser when it rips off a devoted fan base at playoff time.
The owners have the salary cap, after years of trying to get fitted with one. Seems to me it’s time somebody up there put a cap on ticket prices during the playoffs.
more... and as I have stated numerous times this season, the Wings do not have the pulse of the Wings fans. No marketing effort, every event they offer the fans is a “pay to get in” type thing.
No open practices, no involvement from the players within the community and of course, trying to get access to anyone within the organization is almost impossible.
Christy at Behind the Jersey takes an in-depth look at ticket sales for both the Wings and Pistons.
Spector at his Fox Sports blog also wonders where are the Wings fans?
