I realize the NHL is trying to eliminate intentional hits to the head but they need to do a better job in explaining to the referees and players what exactly constitutes a penalty and a Game Misconduct. it definitely looks like they are turning the NHL into Euro hockey but hopefully once everyone is clear what hits will be penalized and what hits are allowed the play will return to the NHL we are used to seeing.
I am glad Shanahan decided that the Ryan Malone hit on Chris Campoli was not suspension worthy but he still received a Game Misconduct

I've been to one Wild game two seasons ago (I think, might have been three). We sat in the lower level section on the side of the rink right in front of the goal. We were three rows from the ice. Was the best sporting event I've ever been to and I've been to numerous. I've wanted to go back ever since, but probably won't ever get to sit in seats as good as those again.
It's not surprising Canucks tickets are so expensive though. You guys don't have any other professional sports teams in the major four leagues. That and I'm sure Vancouver is a huge hockey area. So the demand is extremely high plus no competition from other teams. So they know people will gladly pay the prices to see them play.

Sounds like a heck of a deal Weimer. Go for it man, and have a good time!
That's a great price! $35 won't even get you an upper level seat at Verizon Center :?
On another note, it's hard to keep up with pre-season stuff when the only games streamed are the last 3 games, but I attended the last 2 Friday night and Sunday night and have 1 thing to say. If Mathieu Perreault doesn't make the Capitals opening night roster, I will be extremely dissapointed. The kid's done nothing but work hard the last few years, earned a few call-ups, but if 3 goals and 2 assists in 4 pre-season games doesn't get his name in the lineup, I don't know what will. There's 1 spot up for grabs and nobody is more deserving in my opinion.

Same at the Wells Fargo Center. 2 years ago when I was splitting season tickets with a friend, you could get an upper mez seat for $27. Season before that you could get a 1st row, upper mez seat for $65. Now the cheapest seat in the house is $65 and the once $96 lower level seats are $140.Terry said:That's a great price! $35 won't even get you an upper level seat at Verizon Center :?

I believe the cheapest face value we have are $52, that was the price on both tickets I had this weekend (granted I paid $60 in total for 2 tickets to each game via stubhub). In all honesty, I don't even know how to find out what our prices are. Ticketmaster has no tickets available to most games, and I can't find anything on the Capitals website that has single prices on it. What I can tell you is, we have the most ridiculous ticketing system ever. Not only do we have about 20 different levels of ticket prices (yep, you'd pay more to be on the attack twice side then the defend twice side), but also 4 levels prices depending on what team we play. You're most likely paying 2x as much to sit in the 200 level, 3x as much to sit high-lower bowl, 3.5x as much to sit mid-level lower bowl, 5x as much to sit VIP Row B and 6x as much for VIP Row A. (I believe I did see a ticket last season with a hefty $290.00 mark on it for Row A).
I remember when you could walk up to the box office 30 minutes before a game and get upper level tix for $10, and the most expensive ones MIGHT have run you $100 or so.
Why can't it be like baseball (Orioles)? Prices range from $8 (upper level outfield) to $54 (front row in the infield), with a slight increase for the Yankees, Red Sox, and Nationals (same price for all)
Sorry, kinda went on a rant there, but just to alert anyone who might be interesting in taking a trip to Verizon Center.... just use stubhub.

I don't go with the box office because I don't want to run the risk of showing up and the game is sold out. I usually buy from ebay or stubhub, but the 10/15 game is part of a group night and it's an all you can eat (hot dogs, nachos, ice cream, and soda) seat for $65. Have to wait until payday and see what seats are still available for Wednesday. was looking at a second row seat for $150 if I remember correctly. Have to check again.Terry said:PhillyPuckNut said:Same at the Wells Fargo Center. 2 years ago when I was splitting season tickets with a friend, you could get an upper mez seat for $27.

Yeah, there's a couple 2nd row in the end the Flyers shoot at twice for $159 each.

Wow, great deal on the tickets. I'd love to get that close for that price.
Different sport, but a few years ago me and some friends went to the Milwaukee Bucks vs. Portland Trail Blazers game in Milwaukee; the Bucks ran some special where select games were like 80% off tickets...we sat in the 2nd row courtside for like $75 a ticket. Yeah it was Bucks - Blazers, but it was a great time.

the Rangers will place Sean Avery on waivers today. if he clears waivers the Rangers can send him to the AHL or he could choose to play in Europe or any other league.

I'd like to believe that he will clear waivers. But, I'm sure, even with his baggage, someone will grab him.pghbuccos said:
Flyers waived Blair Betts, Oskars Bartulis, and Matt Walker. They also "loaned" Gustafsson, Zolnierczyk, and Schenn to the Phantoms.

according to Darren Dreger Schenn will play one game in the AHL...

See, this is the problem I have with the Flyers front office. Why give him a contract with that bonus in it if all you're going to do is screw him out of it by having him play a game with the Phantoms?
I highly doubt he would have played 25 minutes a game anyway.
Just another ::facepalm::
