I'm sure they do it all the time. Why would a business report less than they'd have to? If the tickets were sold, it's not a big deal and happens in all sports every day.
For those that saw the game there likely was at least 10,000 less than that figure in attendance tonight. Add that to the pleading article on the NHL.com site for fans not to judge the new uniforms too quickly...what have we done to our beloved league for them to treat us like this????NHL.com said:Game 0698
