I won't be going... there simply will not be enough glaring/overwhelming advertising to satisfy my needs.

George:

you left out the last paragraph that shows the direction that this organization has had under Cohen that is the arena is more important then the hockey team, as a businessman I can't blame him because the arena makes money but when you own a sports franchise there needs to be a commitment to putting a product out there that can compete for the championship

here is the last paragraph
