Did they push all the fans to the one side of the arena which the TV was facing towards? Because when they spanned quickly, those seats were empty.

Didn't notice, but that's a common ticket sales strategy in minor pro hockey. It looks better on TV/streams for smaller crowds, and it also reduces arena staff headcounts.
Yeah. Was moreso insinuating from the sense that this was the franchise's first home game, and there were quite a few empty seats seen, let alone the entire sections not shown on TV.

@TheTotalPackage ... I thought the highlight of Julie Stewart-Brinks' commentary on Friday night came when the PbP announcer mentioned that the PWHL record for highest attendance was about to be broken. The reference was to Minnesota's game tomorrow, but Ms. Stewart-Brinks clearly thought she meant the NYC attendance & she was stammering until it was explained to her. :facepalm:

I missed that. I saw her during the intermission when they were interviewing Pascal Daoust, and yes, being that guy, I was like, "Damn...she's really attractive." Then when it came to listening to her colour commentary, she sounded so ditzy, talking like an airhead who had no clue what she was talking about.

I imagine she'll get better (or maybe not), but she needs to refine her skills so it's not like she sounds as if she is out at a bar with the girls and is a few drinks deep.

This is the best PWHL broadcast pair by far. Can we petition the League to fly them to all of the games? :cheer:

PWHL Minnesota starter Maddie Rooney looking calm & cool in net so far in her first game.

Minny takes 3 minor penalties in the second period, but Montreal cannot convert any to goals. End of 2 @ Xcel Energy Center, still 1-0 hometeam.
