I was talking about all Boston sports, not just the NHL, but even with a hard cap having a large fan base lets you spend money on facilities, coaching staffs, nutrition programs, trainers, etc. Big markets are also enticing to players, who can earn more money through endorsement deals than they would in smaller markets.

A lot of it’s just luck, but it helps that Boston has the entire New England market to draw from. Big, passionate fanbases mean high revenue and a strong incentive to spend money on quality players and coaches.

Reply to TIL, canines have a more sensitive CFF of up to 80Hz or 80 flickers per second. "This might explain why most dogs cannot be planted in front of the television to engage them, it doesn't look real." by chandu6234

My dog’s 4 and out of nowhere started to watch tv recently. She’d never noticed it before, but now we catch her watching football. Tested it out by putting a squirrel video on the tv and she briefly lost her mind. It’s the same TV in the same spot it’s been in since she was a puppy. I wonder what made her finally notice it.
