Preds vs Coyotes

Yeeks. Attendance looks iffy there.

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Brian Boyle is always good for a second round pick.

Yeah that didn't look good but what is interesting they announced the attendance as a sell-out.

Very well could have sold out, but wasn't full.

I'm guessing a lot of those lower bowl empties are corporate seats that just didn't have any Tuesday night interest.

Offer sheet?

Offer sheet?

Ryan Johansen, Kevin Fiala and PK Subban to Edmonton for Connor McDavid and Oscar Klefbom - It's a blockbuster lol

Or it could be this...

Like the return for the Devils. Hopefully someone is desperate enough to cough up a 2nd for Mojo. Maybe hit up Lou and shop all his old favorites (Zajac, Greene).

I have to say I liked Cody McLeod in the Eastern Conference - Personally, I think McLeod is a dirty POS.

I go to games all the time and it was definitely sold out. I mean, there wasn't literally a person in every single seat, but I have no doubt all tickets were sold. The first pic was pregame and the third pic was at puck drop, but it usually take about halfway into the 1st period before seats really fill out. Last pic was when it was 5-2 and people had already left early.

This pic more accurately represents what the game crowd looked like:

Let's be honest, the Coyotes aren't exactly the strongest draw in the league.

Figured that to be the case and that's what I thought. In Nashville don't they sell-out every game since going to the Finals?

I believe so, the support here lately has been strong. I'm curious to see if the support continues when the Preds hit hard times (which they inevitably will). Nothing bugs me more than fake bandwagon fans.

Nashville has been a strong market for the NHL. That's been great to see in a non-traditional hockey market.

I wouldn't mind Mojo on the Leafs.

I'd have given a second for him.

Let's be honest, the Coyotes aren't exactly the strongest draw in the league.

But Nashville is closer to Phoenix than Glendale.

Maybe a change of scenery does the trick but he's been a skittish/soft player. I attribute it to the concussions but I could be wrong, he may just not be motivated here.

It was a pretty good crowd. Definitely seemed close to a sellout, but not over capacity (like the box score shows.) Figured there would be less vs AZ, tbo.

He's always been soft.

The mojo play in DC was as soon as he crossed the blueline, he would drop the puck right there and make the defenseman do all the work as he tried to find free space in the offensive zone. It was weird how hard he tried to avoid contact.
