Just as a follow-up, I don't think that people dislike them... I think sometimes these moves are made more to support the corporate crowd & $'s. Ticket prices are sky high, bring the prices down if you want to make it family friendly. Some of the buildings just don't have the energy in them anymore, I use to go to the Spectrum in Philly and you couldn't hear yourself think....now you go to the Wachovia Center (First Union)and all you see are suits on cell phones. I think true fans are just fed-up with moves they feel support box seat corporate mongers who spend most of the their time on their cell phone or lap-top. I don't think it's a problem with the girls it's a problem with the state of the NHL right now. Why blame the girls, they're just doing their job.
