The post is also a bit misleading as it could be interpreted as the game being the overall US attendance record for women's hockey which it is not (Rivalry Series game in Seattle last season had 14,551 spectators). The recap on website does precise it is the record for professional women's hockey.

You are failing to recognize & appreciate the overarching PWHL narrative: No women's ice hockey existed before the Professional Women's Hockey League.
But if you choose to compare attendance figures for the collective of "women's hockey" in the United States (pro & amateur), there has been an NCAA Division I women's game that exceeded the headcount of the U.S.-Canada Rivalry Series matchup in Seattle: Jan. 14, 2017, St. Cloud State University Huskies @ University of Wisconsin Badgers, Att. = 15,359.
Thanks. It's actually hard to find a comprehensive list of WoHo attendances.
I know the League's narrative is all about pretending nothing happened before. Although commentators have been mentioning previous achievements a bit more as the season progresses, even if it is in small doses.

With your permission, I'll be forwarding those observations to the PWHL Advisory Board members for their consideration & recommendations for punishment of the media members involved.

Just got home from the game in Pittsburgh. Had a lot of fun. As I suspected, only the lower bowl was opened. During the anthems it looked to be fully sold out but they announced the attendance as 8850 which I don't think is a sellout for the lower bowl.
Anyway, I hope they bring a team to Pittsburgh.

So could you say you're feeling the complex mixture of emotions involving being Over Taken and Under Whelmed?

No. I had a blast regardless and I'm not too down about the attendance.

Whenever I see Kendall Coyne out on a shift, I feel like I'm watching her leave behind another layer of her hockey career armor on the ice. Her teammates also seem to be putting in extra effort just to get her points total growing. Will this (or should this) be her first & final PWHL season?

She's a 31 year-old hockey player who started skating & competing over 20 years ago, leading to LOTS of international play and an NHL All-Star Weekend appearance (maybe 2?) and time spent traveling more recently with the PWPHA players on exhibition tours and now skating on a regular pro game schedule with PWHL Minnesota. Outside of hockey, she's a wife & mother of a 9 month-old son. I'm just thinkin' her life has slowed her down to the point of considering options of a pace less hectic. But that's certainly up to her.

Official NJ Devils announcement. Slap in the face to Bridgeport & Total Mortgage Arena (maybe just as well for them), also reflects the home ice challenges faced by the NWHL/PHF entries in the NYC region.
