Went to the game tonight and was a little disappointed. I say a little as I only paid half price for my seats. I can't imagine those who forked out $200+ for premium seats would of been impressed.
The standard was a big drop off from last year. So many mistakes, absolutely no physicality or hitting. Even the entertainment outside of the game was a bit woeful. No pregame pyro or even goal songs after goals. (Game ended 9-6 to Canada if anyone cares).
Brent Burns didn't get out of 1st gear and spent most of the game praticising his stretch passes. He had a couple of secondary assists. Last year when Emerson Etem was here he showed some good speed and puckhandling. Burns stayed back and played as a stay at home dman. Maybe he is a bit tired from a long NHL season and World Championships.
David Booth, Taylor Beck and Rob Schremp didn't play. So a weak roster was made even weaker.
Etihad did it with Bon Jovina few years ago.Also, I meant to note that I'd gotten the usual ticket offer e-mail from Ticketek, in which tickets for the Allphones game had been slashed. Gold is $99 and Bronze is $69 now. I understand they want to do that to get a full house, or close to it, but too bad if you bought tickets at their original prices. Happened at the Motley Crue gig, too.

I got glass seats for nicks.Maybe if the tickets weren't so expensive in the first place - $202 for platinum and something like $252 for against the glass - then more people would come. I understand there'll be empty seats down low at Allphones tonight, with people as far back as Row M on the top deck, which is insane.

Thanks MMM!
Price has something to do with it but rosters too, would come into play, you'd imagine.I got mine for $0, too, but the fact remains, if the platinum tickets were cheaper, you get that lower level filled in, and it looks better. Plus, 50% of the fans won't need a Hubble Space Telescope to see the action.

What a night!!!!!!!
Couldn't give a toss about the line ups not being elite, or there being no "feeling" I'm the game.
Had a heap of fun. Bloody good night out.
Had a fun time. Although only going through the motions got a kick out of seeing Brent Burns skate around.

I thought the crowd was quite good.Must've sold a lot of tickets late, because the lower bowl was really filled in.

For a sporting event in Sydney anyway.
