complete dysfunction dysfunction keith pelly's always around lately and he comes in around the deadline and he's presenting um options to make trades using ai now that's why they hired me i think i think that was like denied possibly by him i'm not sure i don't know if you guys saw jeff o'neill's tweet where he's like i don't know if bringing an r2d2 to fucking to make trades is the way to go why i know exactly uh

did you read the article i did okay actually that was the one of the first articles i've ever read besides the script of there will be blood it took yeah exactly it took me uh it took me about 14 hours to get through but a tweet but what what it was is it was a full outline of the season of just kind of how we've now gotten to this situation right and and uh well hey boy i'm fucking i'm i'm i'm in the i'm in the dumpster fire right now with them um

It's ugly.

I mean, just from like budget cuts to hearing about them trying to charge, uh, charge a thousand bucks for like kids to wave the flag pregame.

And obviously you were forced to buy tickets.

Like, okay, you need, you need 41 extra thousand dollars.

If you're MLSC, like, give me a fucking break.

or like making the they used to get 50 off march and now it's 30 yeah like what are we doing on the food and merchandise they get from real sports right next door it's just like weird shit for for the richest organization i think it's true it's

straight up like um like when private equity like buys stuff they're just like two corporate yeah it's like what do we do like this is a hockey team you need hockey people you need you need to you need to build a family and a culture and all of a sudden it's like they're nickel and they're the richest team in hockey and they're nickel and diamond not just the players but fans like

spending money to get tickets and then no give us another thousand dollars so your kid can wave a fucking two dollar flag at center ice and we get outshot by 30 like what the fuck are we talking about keep the flag what and you don't get to keep oh yeah no and then it's another about the other package if you paid five thousand they'd let you run the power play that night that's what they give you a maple leaf that's what cost savarda's job they give you a maple leaf jersey made out of tin cans

You got a 10-year-old with a dry erase board between a TV timeout.

Who the fuck is this guy?

Oh, he paid the 5K.

Mom's got the milkers on the glass.

You can maybe have some budget cuts for the players, like not shipping in water from Italy and stuff like that, but do it to the fans is brutal.

Well, okay.

So there was another thing too, that I don't know how much this just correlates to the leaf stall.

And this is going, I think I heard this about a year ago where they had this like VIP club where they were charging like whatever, like 2000 or 5,000 for like a, a yearly pass and like barely anybody bought it.

And then they, one of the people was like, well, we should charge like more of a premium.

So they raised it to a hundred grand and then it sold out.
