Hockey night on nbc - wild @ redwings

State of Hockey VS Hockey Town

My opinion.

Look at all those empty seats.

The Xcel Energy Center in Minnesota has never not sold out.

Detroits run down and so are the Red Wings.

there is a hockey thread you know.

Also, people haven't cared about hockey in Minnesota since the North Stars.

Really? No NHL fan has any right to laugh at Detroit's team. No matter what team you support, Detroit has had a better 20 years with the only relatively close competition being New Jersey.

"The Xcel Energy Center in Minnesota has never not sold out."

All it takes for the team to end up bankrupt like Phoenix is Craig Leopald screwing up Minnesota like he almost did with Nashville.


Additionally...

"A lot of general managers will say they look at the Detroit Red Wings as the model for consistency as a franchise." -Interviewer
"I don't think we're anywhere near what the Red Wings have done, but certainly that's what we're trying to do." -Chuck Fletcher, Minnesota Wild GM.

i would like to point out that those tickets were sold.
however they are bought by corporations and they use them for potential clients.

go ahead, laugh about the game all you want. i would point out that minnesota got two very favorable calls (the no goal off heatleys glove, and the CLEAN Kronwall hit getting a DOUBLE FRIGGEN MINOR) and the fact that Detriot has, as pointed out, been the most succesful team in the past 20 years...by a wide margin.
