Although Gary Bettman is trying to make it look like it was a popular and popular event in Florida, there are many images circulating right now that prove otherwise.
Images Bettman doesn't want fans to see
This event in Florida was supposed to be a success for the Panthers market, but the non-existent atmosphere proved otherwise.
Contrary to what Gary Bettman tells us, the hype was not there and we saw that in Florida, they have other priorities than hockey.
Remember that this season, the Panthers are 27th in attendance.
See some embarrassing pictures:
And there are several others like these, taken yesterday and today.
Some reporters and fans on site even reported that spectators were asked to come down and sit near the rink, so that the lower stands would be relatively full (for the cameras).
So while Gary Bettman doesn't want these photos to get around, and while he may say that this All-Star weekend in Florida was a popular success, you should know that this isn't necessarily the case.
