Fritz has been a solid contributor and the Sharks are pretty quick. Martin at this point would make more sense. Pelech/Pu;ock struggled. I guess Trotz sees if it works itself out.
Hundreds of 10$ seats on Stubhub, thousands of available tickets on ticketmaster, and these afternoon off of school games have drawn well in the past, can not imagine what the attendance is going to be like when the Isles are out of any playoff picture, they need to build this arena in Belmont fast before Malkin and Ledecky have 2nd thoughts about what they have done because I am pretty sure attendance is not going to be alot better in Nassau
I've been to every opening night in Barclays and its never been like that before.
Attendance in Nassau - at least for this year - will be very strong. I think with the split Barclays/Nassau this year, a lot of people aren't bothering to make the trek to Barclays knowing that they can catch them in Nassau starting in December.

Empty.Like what?
Empty.
The entire obstructed side was completely empty. I think Staple put it attendance at 12.5k or so. Really poor showing.
I blame you.
Chartier to get his first NHL goal today.

Its pretty much a guarantee that we will get shut out today. Either that or we'll light him up for 4-5 goals in the first. There's really no middle ground here.
This team needs to manage the puck better. Right now they bottom ten in shots for and top ten in shots against.
The PK looks improved and the powerplay has the ability to be in the top ten again.
If they can play smarter at even strength, they should be competitive for a while.
It is not going to be strong, except for the first game and of course the Rangers and a right opponent on a Saturday night I am guessing it is going to be the same old 10,eshAttendance in Nassau - at least for this year - will be very strong.

Sbisa will be up in the press box for this game:
