Can't give them away

So last Sunday I found myself sick as a dog at 4:30 with two tickets to the Blues-Wings game. I was clearly not going and my wife and son would have stayed with me. But we literally could not give them away. We called friends. We checked with neighbors. But no one would take them off of our hands. For a Blues vs. Red Wings game. Has the state of the Blues sunk so low as to not even interested dedicated hockey nuts?

My wife ended up going to the game with my brother-in-law while I slept and visited with the porcelain gods. I'm not sure who had more fun...
