BUT
The ultimate mistery to this brand new building is...THE VACANT SEATS !!
According to a witness, the concourse is not full of people watching the game from TV...they are not in the building ! BUT...According to the management those tickets are sold ! i tend to Believe them when i log into txmaster and see that most of the good seats are sold.
so
The question is...WHERE ARE THOSE PEOPLE ?? After one season you would think that things would have corrected itself...not the case !!

I don't get the ice conditions either but that seems to be the opinion of several players...ice at the Joe was usually better.
I was fairly frustrated coughing up a 2 goal lead in the 3rd.
You score 5 you should win.

Well the team is giving an effort and good for them on that. However, both goalies were not good enough. The difference is that one is a veteran who is a free agent next year, and the other is in his first game after 8 years in the minors. Who should have the advantage in goal? If either team got good goaltending then they win this one easily. When are the Wings going to get a good young goalie? Other teams seem to do it time and time again.
Wings go up against Toronto next who are playing their best hockey in over 20 years and they will have Nylander back to add more scoring punch. With all the Wing's injuries and the Leafs flying high this could get ugly if they get off to a bad start.

Imagine being Neilson.. hat trick plus a shootout goal. One man, 4 points, STILL LOST! Also to stay on topic, have you figured in season ticket holders that dont attended games, and those tickets the scalpers outside are selling..

After one season you would think that things would have corrected itself...not the case !! For years even at the Joe the place has been nearly half empty. Corporations bought out most of the lower bowl at the Joe. They obviously couldn't GIVE AWAY THE TIX! Looking for tix for the game vs Ott I am not surprised they are dirt cheap compared to the playoff years. The bottom line? For the last decade the team has been average-poor. People don't want to spend time/money watching a loser. The main reason I am going up now is because my daughter asked me a couple times. A bonus is to see the new arena and my old buddy Chris LGRW!!! BTW...at least now I am pulling for them to win again rather than tank for draft position!

Now DeKeyser is out 4-6 weeks with a hand injury Too bad Ericsson is back...we played some pretty good hockey while he was out.

Not surprising..he got that shot right on the hand...from just a few feet away. He had no chances.. When you are badlucky...DK has had his fair share of badluck… Just like the goal deflected by Glen...i think its the third Bolts...deflectd down on the ice then the puck bounced right up toward the top corner, just Inside the post… another bad luck...
