Keep Believing.
Bring on the Ducks.
Hockeytown, eh?
So the Detroit Red Wings raised ticket prices for their playoff games (upper-bowl tickets doubled), and consequently fans didn’t show up:
But the sight of so many empty red seats at Joe Louis Arena in the Wings 4-1 victory against the Calgary Flames on Thursday evening was sad. Good old Bud Lynch, the Wings long-time public address announcer, declared the crowd for the series opener at 19,204, which is more than 800 fans from JLA’s 20,066-seat capacity.
Detroit ought to be forced to remove the HOCKEYTOWN logo from their ice for trying to shit on the fans that make Hockeytown what it is.
Stars vs. Canucks, Games One, Two, and Three.
Game One ended in a 4-4 tie. Ten minutes later, Game Two started. It ended in a 0-0 tie. Ten minutes later, Game Three started. Eighteen minutes and six seconds later, the Vancouver Canucks ended the sixth-longest NHL game with a goal from Henrik Sedin off a dandy pass from his brother Daniel.
We managed to see the first four periods, and since I’d only set up our DVR to record an hour of overrun we missed the fifth and sixth. Luckily we switched over to Versus when our recording ran out and started in again at the beginning of the seventh period. Five hours after the game actually started, and at 9pm local time, we got to see the goal live.
It was a record-breaking game, as the Dallas Stars peppered Roberto Luongo with a record 76 shots.
