NHL Attendance Record Falls - Again

The league has a new benchmark on the books, and that alone tells you this was not your average night in the building. Attendance numbers are doing more than filling seats here - they are giving the NHL another reminder that the sport can still move serious bodies when the stage is right. The story around the record is bigger than one game, because the league loves nothing more than a showcase that makes everyone in the room feel like they were part of something historic.
