Just did a search on the subject, and it seems that the covered red seats are being swapped out for permanent black seats in stages. Don't know how long it will take. 1 HadThomasVokounOnFortSt reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Devils are about to beat the Sabres. Mantha again. He's basically had an entire 20-goal season tonight, minus the whole puck going in the net thing. 1 AtlantaHotWings reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GMRwings1983 8,789 Report post Posted February 18, 2019 (edited) I don't care what color Detroit's favorite pizza family wants to paint the seats. You could tell midway through the 3rd period that half the seats visible on the screen were black. I doubt people were shooting pool at the recreational room or enjoying the new bathroom facilities at that stage of the game. This team has become largely irrelevant to Detroit the last three seasons. The only way to awake the fans is a regime change.

The arena having a bunch of amenities is just an excuse to avoid talking about why people really aren't in the seats. Because the team sucks and the ticket prices are too high. The painting of the seats still irks me. If I were a drunken employee, I'd mark each black seat with a red X. That would make it more visible on the TV that nobody is sitting there.

Fans don't give a s*** about Holland anymore; like I said he's old news/stale presence now. Longest GM tenure and last 10 years without a cup under him has people turned off completely. He's just 1 part of the many changes that are needed. Fans need jolt of excitement. Big trades this summer, GM named Yzerman, and the return of Datsyuk. Guarantee you people will come wearing Datsyuk and Yzerman jerseys. To be honest though I wouldn't re-sign Dats unless it was only for a couple million though.

Look at my edit, I'd bring him in for couple million as a 3rd line center or something. Cheap 1 year deal. He'll get fans excited for sure. The city needs to become Hockeytown again. It's currently Hipster town at best. Edited February 18, 2019 by kickazz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I honestly don't see why either he or the organization would make that move. He wouldn't come back for a cheap deal and the organization doesn't need to be signing 41 year olds. Bringing Yzerman in would definitely ignite the fans. Some decent free agent acquisitions as well. Oh and firing Blashill as well, though I don't believe he should go before Holland does.
