In Phoenix last night, a mere 5,855 tickets were sold to an NHL hockey game between the Los Angeles Kings and the Phoenix Coyotes. FYI - the home of the Coyotes, Jobing.com Arena, holds 17,799 (that's a 33% capacity). Ironically, earlier in the day the Coyotes were relieved from their bankruptcy, so Coyotes fans would have had something to celebrate - one might think.
I've embedded the highlights here - the Kings won an entertaining game 5-3. But you can hear the echoes resonate throughout the empty arena. Note the goal horn masking much of the quieted noise.
Please compare that with the audio from the game this past Saturday between the Toronto Maple Leafs and Montreal Canadiens (below). Then tell me that Canada doesn't deserve another (or maybe a handful) hockey team.
