GDT: Game 21: Preds @ Red Wings | 6:30 PM CST | Fox Sports TN | Back in the Motor City!!!

I must say the vast majority of DRW fans have no idea how to deal with a struggling team. Show up late, leave early, dis the team while you are there, refuse to do anything to pump them up when they have a pretty good stretch of play. Generally act like a whole arena of spoiled children who "deserve" a win. And then boo the loss - loudly. Not very classy. You should have seen the daggers in the look from the gal in front of me when I cheered the second Preds goal. If they don't turn their results around pretty quick, their attendance is going to tank. I had fun, anyway! And a great visit with my Mom. She looks so cute in her Zetterberg jersey. She's a little tiny old lady and has to roll up the sleeves about 3 times.

So how many would you estimate were actually in the stands? Looked terrible on TV, but of course it was announced at 20,066.

Just curious what the ACTUAL attendance was......

Thanks i was just curious if it was a style of play or just the Preds playing to competition and out of system.
I wasn't sure if you saw a different style of play out of the northeast teams that the Preds have trouble with. Wanted to pick your brain..

I think something to consider too those games (outside of early crippling goals) is the pk went south.

I saw this to. That Gold jersey stuck out about 10 rows up from preds bench.

Nope. We were on the opposite side.

At its fullest - about middle of the second period - I'd say around 80% full, and that would be somewhere between 17.5 and 18?. I have a hard time judging crowd size. How do you count the couple next to us who showed up mid-way through the 2nd and never returned after the end of the period?

This is all I can say about the recent play of the Nashville Predators

What's happening?

We have a goaltender with confidence, that's what.

He did look pretty comfortable out there. Fisher's line did a great job on the Datsyuk line all evening. Once you shut them down, the Wings don't really have much to offer.

Yes. As I've bi***** and moaned about way too much, as the goaltending goes, our team goes. We can't have bad goaltending and win a game. Unless we're playing Colorado and Varlamov can't stop anything.
