Upon walking towards this new monument to Hockeytown, I was reminded of the immortal words of Hank “Bones” McCoy from The Voyage Home: “The bureaucratic mentality is the only constant in the universe. We’ll get a freighter.”
After being treated to the highest of highs in the hockey world for the last 25 years, getting a new building seemed too good to be true. No way we would get a top flight arena, we were too good for too long, we’ll get some middling stadium that will suit a sort of rebuild of this historic franchise. The universe was gonna level us out big time.
