Red Wings game 1 vs. Wild
Hockey season is officially back underway! Tonight the Red Wings will break in the brand new Little Caesars Arena in the home opener against the Minnesota Wild. The Wings are coming off a disappointing and emotional season. This one could be just as ugly in the standings, but for now let's just celebrate (and crack a Molson) the return of the greatest sport on earth!
Time: 7:30 pm
TV: NBCSN
LGRW!

Attendance was 19,515 (97.6% full). That's pretty shocking frankly that it wasn't a sell out. There were more empty seats than that watching on TV. I figure many people were probably wandering around the arena checking the place out.

First ever goal scorer in the new Little Caesars Arena? Anthony Mantha!!
Being outplayed but two quick PPGs! GO WINGS!!

got a lot of work to do, but if the kiddies come along, the vets don't totally die on the vine (I asusme we get nothing from Kronner this year already), and the combo of Jimmy and Petr can be their better, healthier seles, they could make the playofs. Larkin looks very fast, and that line might do real damage this year. If they are a plus line, that would be good.

If Athanasiou joins the team... but man the kids played well tonight

Need more of them up. Abs and Helm are dead weight. Holland.

The Pens were been the best team last year because they had several gritty defensemen that are not household names. Daley brings a whole dimension on the blue line we have missing for a long time.
Larkin and Zetterberg looked more fluid than they did last year. Maybe the "long" rest had some benefits.

Great game, minus that 48 second barage. Equally great was the Pens getting spanked and little Alex DeBrincat putting a hell of a hit on Ian Cole.

In LCA. Nice W.

last night as I was trying to catch just about every hockey game that was on. Kind of surprised by the crowd for their first game at the new arena. It looked like there were a lot of fans disquised as empty seats.
