Kinda says it all about this event. But I guess why would players care too much in the first place.

5k viewers in 17k arena. What a truly grand event, raises the league prestige sevenfold.

Here is what Henrik Lundqvist said after the first period, "I loved the first period. The KHL is a great quality hockey, good speed. It is great for the game, growing the game worldwide. It is such a unique place. It is fun to be here."

"growing the game worldwide"

By the looks of it the 5k spectators consisted almost exclusively of expats from Russia and other already prominent hockey countries.

Common. What else should he say? Such pre-scripted words are typical for such events.

I counted :
great - 2-times
loved - 1-time
good - 1 time
unique - 1-time
fun - 1-time

And thats only in 5 short sentences.

Good @alko, behind the scenes talks (Kraken & Vegas investors & others) are much more interesting, Henke was a media face at the event.
