I have got to get my gf as interested in hockey as your wife. I’m more of a college hockey fan, but I’ll watch anytime!

I’m not sure you can equate “purchase power” with devotion. I’d venture to guess that many in the upper eschalon of Nashville can afford season tickets, jerseys, extra perks, etc. that few others can, but does it make them any more “crazy” about their team than those who do all they can? What’s the greater sacrifice – filling the offering plate from your excess or simply giving your last coin?

sorry should have used the word gear instead of schwag, as schwag is usually used for free stuff.

I get that you got lots of stuff. I guess my point was more directed at Jerseys and season tickets.

I get your point though Paul. I do, $ for day to day is important. & saving for playoffs (fingers crossed) is a wise look forward as well.

Just that you tout yourself as a "crazy fan" or "fanboy" and dont really dress the part.

You have however; explained yourself quite well.

would like to see the bathroom though.

Fair question.

Yeah, we have a bathroom that is top to bottom Preds stuff (perhaps i will post a picture one day) and many T-shirts, etc. Only the one jersey and partial season tickets for budgetary reasons. We already forgo cable TV so we can see just that many games in person. Wife doesn’t work 9-5 anymore and is starting her own business. I’d love to have more jerseys and tickets. We usually pick up a few extra games as the year goes on too. But it’s more important to…ya know…eat (and have money to buy playoff tickets) than it is to have full season tickets for us.

I was a Dallas Cowboys fan since I was 8, now 35. I am a bigger Sharks fan by leaps and bounds now. Football is much slower and doesnt hold my interest like hockey does.

I have a observation though, and dont take it the wrong way. But if you are a "crazy hockey fan" how come you only have a portion of a season tickets? and in the nose bleeds (think I know this answer 303) and The lack of Jerseys and other schwag?

Just an observation is all.
