[CK SatGuy]

Figured since some preseason games are starting tonight, time to start this thread. A mod can make this sticky.

I agree ... they've talked about it for 20 years now.

Would have liked to see the Yzerman teams play inn the east ...

I cannot even calculate the countless hours of sleep I've lost watching the Wings play late games out West...especially those 2:00 AM playoff games. I don't like Bettman!

i am watching the WSH/WPG game, now you will see alot more wraparound goals with a thinner net bottom

Go Pens!

Kings played Coyotes at Staples last night in an exhibition game. It's getting closer and closer...

They really showed up at the Predators-Panthers game yesterday!!

Oh my! And out here where they say we don't know our hockey the Kings had a pretty decent turnout Sunday night for their "game".

Hockey has come a long way in the western part of the country. The Kings, Ducks and Sharks all have good fan bases. It's the southern part of the country that generally struggles, IMO.

I think the powers that be thought the "Sunbirds" from the Northeast who Winter in Florida would adopt a hockey team to pass the time in the evenings. I don't think it quite worked out that way.

And just over 21,000 showed up for the Bruins/Habs pre-season game in Montreal.

I would expect nothing but that for those hockey-ravenous fans up there. Plus they are super excited that it's a full season being played. (As we all are!)

The 50/50 jackpot at that game is less than you put in it.

Tonight is one of those strange nights where the CBJ play @Wild and home vs Sabres.

I also bet that the Florida empty game still has a reported attendance of 8,000+ due to season ticket sales.

FWIW, The Kings handed the Ducks a thorough drubbing in their barn last night. 6-0.

WAs this a practice/scrimmage ?
Were fans invited ?

 

[angiodan]

That was a 2:30 game, they actually played a double header that day, with another game at 7. That game had more folks in the seats.

TSN.CA is reporting the Panthers will have new ownership, based out of NY, within weeks.
Seems to me someone in interested in losing money...
