I swear to god if Kindl plays over Lashoff or Huskins...
I think we have to come to terms with the fact that our #20 defenseman, hired hours before his first game, is our best defender.
You would think that a guy struggling to establish himself at this level would have joined a team, any team during the lockout so that he'd have some advantage coming into the season. I've heard consistent rumors that he just doesn't work hard enough to make it.
huh?
Kindl played 27 games in the Czech league during the lockout....

Can someone point to something that Kindl did wrong?
He looked fine out there, nowhere near the worst D-man in what I saw.
Well let's see, he turned the puck over multiple times
Doesn't the Czech league blow? He should've went to the KHL if he wanted to work on his game
Man JLA was absolutely rocking last night, just an incredible atmosphere. Also those were some goals by Datsyuk and Brunner, you couldn't save those no matter what. I just can't believe the difference Bert and Helm made. I knew it'd be great to get them back, but they completely jolted the O it seemed. Now lets make the postseason folks
Was it really? Looked like there were about 10k people there... and yet foxsports reported that it was another "sellout". How can 10k people not show up for their seats?
What's the deal here?
People just don't show up... Plain an simple, just like the Toronto maple leafs, they always sell out but when you watch the game the lower bowl is always 1/4-1/2 empty.
It's due to corporate for the most part they buy the seats, tickets get passed around if you go... You go.
When I worked for a big company we had tickets to every game, some of the employees went, some didnt, I took advantage of it when my turn came around.

It's weird though, Detroit/Michigan is supposedly one of the greater hockey markets in the U.S, yet you never see empty seats in Boston, St.Paul, New York, Philadelphia etc. Where as there are always empty seats (by different degree) in Detroit, except maybe in the playoffs.Once they got going, the crowd was definitely alive. There were empty seats but they were probably season ticket holders who decided not to go to the game. But a lot of the fans started leaving 2 minutes before the end when the cut to John and Darren. I was telling myself, the Wild better not comeback from the 2 goal deficit or they'll be kicking themselves.
And it's not a playoff game, there is bound to be some empty seats. I don't have the data but I believe the Red Wings usually have sellout crowds during the regular season without everyone showing up.
Can somebody post highlights of this game that is mobile-friendly. I can't find highlights anywhere. I don't have a computer with internet so something I can watch on my phone, pretty pleaseeeee.

Canadian NHL-Arenas are always packed to max (atleast what it looks like when i watch games from there)... difference must be that the employees go to the games because canadians have more passion for hockey than americans.
you never see empty seats in Boston
