Fun fact: This game takes place in a city that's within a different time zone than Chicago.
Last year. New York.When's the last time that happened while staying in North America?
Last time I checked, New York was deep in the Eastern Time Zone, far from the Central & Atlantic Time Zone borders. Queens isn't a different time zone from Manhattan.Last year. New York.

The question was when, before today, was the game outside the Central Time Zone.Might this also be the first NHL game played in Indiana?

Sold out. 76000I think attendance issues for this game can be attributed to money.
The tickets just cost too much to justify traveling to South Bend, and sitting outside on January 1. Between tickets, travel, and lodging, it would cost me almost as much as a vacation to Punta Cana. As much as I love the Bruins, that’s just too much money for a working-class joe like myself to attend a single regular season hockey game. I’d rather go on the vacation for a week in the Caribbean!
As others have said, the novelty has worn off. It’s a blatant money grab for fat-assed billionaires who want an excuse to sell more jerseys and sell out bigger venues.
No thanks. I’ll be heading south for some quality beach time instead.

Apparently they did play in Indianapolis before.
looked packed. was a great game.Ticket sales for today were sluggish but then Wirtz put his corporation into overdrive. Not only were the tickets distributed but people used them. A friend who owns a Chicago bar bought quite a few tickets and in return would get a generous discount on his liquor bill but the discount only applies if the tickets were scanned.
I underestimated John McDonough again.
Lowest I saw throughout the week was $75 after fees. That was 3-4 days before, it was a bit higher the day before. Never got low enough to where I'd be willing to make the drive.I meant to check, but forgot. How was secondary market for this game?
Every so often, I wonder to myself "maybe Greg Wyshynski isn't nearly the moron I keep believing he is." And then he puts out an article like that one, and I remind myself, "nope - guy's still an idiot and keeps managing to fail upwards in spite of it."Bring neutral site NHL games back to North America!

That was officially a neutral site game and the Capitals were the "home" team, even though the crowd (as much as it was - 8700 on Election Night) was mostly Blackhawks-centric.
