There are lots of empty seats at NHL games - good economy or bad - even surprising games like the caps-edm tonight. You would think McDavid v Ovechkin would be a great draw for hockey fans in Washington.
I just don't think there are as many hockey fans willing to buy tickets as the NHL would like us to believe.
Like others have said on CP many times - HDTV and 60 inch screens very often make the couch preferable to the live experience. Not all the time, but enough to say I will just pick and choose which games I attend in person.
