There is nobody there. What a bad look for the league.
Ticketmaster was showing getims at $82 (standard admission not resale)

What do you mean?
He has been constantly featured as the on ice correspondent tonight and hasn't really said anything of substance. Usually they would have a home favorite do that sort of thing (Luongo would be fun), not just some guy from a rival team.

Thanks! 2 extra points for me for being here in person and not seeing that

They could have easily fit this in 2 hours but instead it’s 3 and tons of empty seats

After watching some of the highlights, they are really putting the goalies in danger in this game. They barely play any D, and with the 3 on 3 aspect I saw a couple times a goalie had to go post to post to post on 2 on 0 break aways. These are also obviously the best goalies in the league usually on the better teams. I can't understand how the NHL can watch that and think they are putting the goalies at a higher risk than normal

Using your standard teams are putting goalies at risk every time they run a 2 on 1 or 2 on 0 drill at practice. Or even practice at all.

It’s completely different. You don’t have 2 players undefended basically standing above each post ping ponging the puck back and forth. The awkward lateral movement I saw goalies have to make due to players trying to score highlight doorstep goals is nothing like they experience normally, and that’s how injuries happen
