the only thing in the NHL that needs contraction (i know, not the definition) is Gary Bettman... he has been at the helm for 20 years.. 2 lockouts 10 years apart, soon to be a 3rd (i have no faith in Gary or Donald) one. He needs to go.

There would be a lockout regardless of who the commissioner is if that is what the owners want. They are the ones who initiate the lockout. They are the ones that write up their version of the CBA. Bettman is simply a mouthpiece during these negotiations. In things like relocation, expansion, etc. he is more of an influential force, but when it comes to the CBA he is just a puppet with 30 arms up his ass (one of the arms is technically his own arm thanks to the Yotes).

Lol i edited your post instead of hitting reply. Anywho, its from ESPNs report of face value prices last season given by the official team ticket departments in October in their team marketing report.

Hehe. I've done that before!
I see. Well, if you can find tickets to a leafs game for that then good on ya. The cheap, cheap seats might go for that on a slow night, but usually they're well into the 200$ range for anything.
I would love that price actually. I might go see more than 2 games a season.

Move to Phoenix and get season tickets for as much as a night in Toronto. Buy upper deck and move behind the bench lol. Toronto does royally fuck you guys on tickets. Yay for Toronto being a corporate outing haven lol.
Speaking of ticket prices, Spector wrote an article today about Bettman's complete lie about ticket prices being lower after the last lockout. If the owners got their way in the last CBA they would have the financial flexibility to pass savings onto the fans that support the teams by lowering ticket prices. That obviously never happened and they actually raised them because that is what rich franchise owners do.

Who pays that much for Hockey? D: I pay 120-150 SEK, and 120 SEK is 17.93 USD.
Of course, that's because I choose to stand, but you kind of have to if you want to join the singing. D:
(seated are roughly 2-3x as much)
I backed out of partial season tickets this year, and they were only $550 per person for 2 seats and 11 games (last 2 years, probably went up a bit). Having to pay that for 1 game and 2 tickets? Ugh I would probably never go =/
Imagine living out of a Hockey market.
Though I only pay 120 bucks for a ticket at Sabre's games, 34 hours of driving there and back, food and hotel. Cost me nearly 600 bucks in the end.
You can tell WoW changed the MMO for good when players started complaining about the amount of time they sink, into a time sink.
I have no Leafs tickets this year unless one of my friends who works at CTV can somehow score some free ones. I also have no cable as I'm moving in a week, and don't intend on getting any. Looks like I won't be watching a bunch of losers this year after all.

Patches signed for 6 years in Montreal, valued at 4.5M. Surprised Montreal got that good of a deal for the kid.
