    Well when playoff tickets are running $500-1000 or more for a normal seat, you are going to get way more suits and professionals than average joes that get drunk and cheer their head off.

    They're pretty much the only place you can get away with getting so stinking drunk that you make people around you leave.

    ...Not that I'd know.

    The nosebleeds have a better view of the full ice anyway. During last year's playoffs and during the Olympics, I had seats in the very back of the upper bowl, and I could see everything clearly. This season I was in the middle of the lower bowl, and the glass distorted the view whenever the puck was along the boards, and it was almost impossible to see the puck when it was at the far side of the ice.

    Probably depends on the Arena? I didn't have that problem on the mid level in Tampa last year.

    Less so the hit than him kneeling on Datsyuk's stick for a good 5 seconds there with Datsyuk trying to push him off it lol.

    I didn't have any vision problems at the Sabre's games. Nosebleeds were definitely the best, just because of how barren they were.

    WTF was that goal? As fantastic as Howard has played all game the Preds have two completely screwy deflection goals.

    Apparently the Wings/Preds game is blacked out in Atlanta despite the NHL saying all year Preds games wouldn't be blacked out there. Fox Sports South has been showing Preds games this year, but they are showing the Braves tonight and the game on CNBC is blacked out.

    At Rangers games the 400's are packed to the rafters with the most surly motherfuckers on the face of the planet. And I love it.

    Try being a Leafs fan where the good seats are $350 for the lower bowl of the ACC and they are filled with suits on a nightly basis. You see them sitting there drinking wine, sending emails on their smartphones and they aren't even watching the game. Team quality is a non issue, since the Leafs were playing so well at the start of the season and still those kinds of people are dead silent. Still though, imagine what playoff tickets will be like for Leafs fans when they start making the post season on a consistent basis, we will have to sell our organs in order to get a ticket.

    this has got to be some kind of record for penaltys cant even go more than 2 mins 5v5 without a penalty being called

    That's one of the things I enjoyed about the game I was at when I went to Buffalo in December, though the upper level was loaded with Leafs fans that night, however it's bloody cold up there with the vents like 3 meters above you, I felt like I needed a scarf to keep my neck from freezing.

    At least half of these would have been allowed three days ago in the regular season that is the shitty part. The NHL needs to have one consistent set of calls regardless of the game. Teams shouldn't have to come into a game and take eight penalties to establish what is and isn't a penalty tonight.

    And now your sarcastic ill will towards Rinne is going to cause Datsyuk or Hank to get hurt. Way to go. IMO, Sharks jersey. If they lose to the Blues they are going to be flying off the backs of bandwagon fans from the offseason and seasons past like crazy.

    totally agree watching the pens flyers as well it seemed as if they were letting them go at it and letting them play playoff hockey hate how different refs are with what calls are and what arent
