I do have concerns about whether the Sabres will receive 100% of his attention. Aside from his obvious love for soccer, he's involved with the World Economic Forum, he's an author, etc.
I don't hate this idea. I don't want them to hire Taylor full time, but this isn't bad. If the planets align, the Preds go 2-12 to start the year and fire Laviolette, for example...
Oh the arena itself is fine, but the crowd was never into Caps games when I lived there. For that matter, they really weren't into Bullets/Wizards games, either. That's atmosphere to me.
What you saw is truly special, though.
Best Amenities: ACC
Best Atmosphere: the Aud, maybe the Arena during playoffs.
Worst Amenities: Rich and it isn't even close.
Worst Atmosphere: MCI Center.
