Because I couldn't afford the cross country plane tickets to and from Detroit, especially when you factor in having to miss at least half a days work tomorrow.

You call yourself a fan??? <_<:P

Alright Mr. Ilitch, unless you want ALL the games to be half empty like this one, its time to lower the cost of the seats and actually have people at the game. This is getting ridiculous, if games against Edmonton and Anaheim will be this empty, imagine the attendance for games like Columbus and St. Louis!

I'm actually fairly surprised that Babcock has put Datstyuk/Zetterberg/Holmstrom back together so early into the season, even with Franzen's injury. I really thought they were going to commit to rolling four lines, with D and Z split up. Can't say I'm entirely disappointed, however.

As much as I don't want to wish for more opposition, Hasek needs more work than this. I'm not really sure how to fix such a problem, but it's disconcerning to see so many games in which the Wings completely out-shoot their opponent, yet the score is even. But, again, not sure what to do about this. Just an obversation more than anything.

Dan Cleary looked nice in the first period.

No, his save precentage probably won't be. He's letting in about 2-3 goals a game on about 13 shots. That's terrible, and unless he get's shutouts every game, his save percentage will be bad.

Luckily I have Luongo for my fantasy team. :)

Luongo is at .900 and 2.95 GAA :yowza:

But yeah, whatever... <_<

Harold's right about low SA effecting sv%. Not sure how Hasek is supposed to generate more shots against himself but I am sure he'd prefer to be busier than he has been.

OK, we get it, guys. I'm starting to get really sick of all this attendance talk. Yeah, it sucks. But, please, discuss it elsewhere.

The building is not half-empty, the world is not ending. Let's enjoy some hockey.

So I never saw, which Wing was it on the lazy backcheck that led to a goal?

Either Cleary or Drake. Though it might have been compounded with Draper chasing the puck carrier who was already being covered by Lidstrom, and leaving the middle open. As late as the last guy showed up, I think it might have been an assignment shift when Draper committed to Hemsky.

I'd have to see it again.

hahahaha dude, these are forums, we're supposed to discuss red wings hockey. I think one of the premier clubs in the league not selling out is important.

Plus its intermission, so no need to police the thread

I can't. Well...I can but that's just depressing.

Edmonton is not a big draw. I'm sorry, but their not.

The Leafs, Habs, Rags, and Bruins will all not be coming to Detroit this year, so we can't use that as a possible benchmark. But it's still stupid that the Wings couldn't sellout the home opener against Anaheim. That was pathetic, if you ask me (and I have room to talk, also, since I went to that game).

But, as I said earlier, it's a sign of changing times. When Illitch get's his s*** together and starts lowering ticket prices for decent seats (those obstructed view seats are terrible), and starts making this a more marketable and fan-friendly team, you'll see attedance on the rise.

I know, I know. But there are already threads for that, no? Anyway, let's all be happy and enjoy the Red Wings.
