They have gone bankrupt 3 times. After Briere’s unfortunate passing the IRS padlocked their doors in ’75.

Hopefully when this current age is in the history books the “fans” there will be come true fans. It’s good for hockey if the die hard steelers fans start treating their hockey team as something more than the latest Hollywood sex symbol. Same with the Chicago fanbase, although the systematic destruction of their fan base came from years of ownership neglect and the spiteful Dollar Bill Wirtz, not a team on the downward spiral from consecutive Stanley Cups within the previous decade.
