Jabronius Maximus Posted October 14, 2014 Author Share Posted October 14, 2014 :laugh: Must have been fun for the Florida players...What's sad is the Oilers have arguably been worse than the Panthers the last few years, but sell out consistently. Personally if I go to oilers games, it is to watch any visiting superstars. I'm part of a minority, though - many fans here eat up the hype and marketing that Lowe and Co spit out. I'm much more jaded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm much more jaded. Pretty much goes for all the Canadian teams and some American ones (Philly as an example). I'm a Leafs fan, a team that has been horrible yet tickets still sell out. Couple years ago Florida had a deal 2 tickets, 2 hot dogs, 2 drinks, free parking....for 19.99$. Crappy Leafs tickets for the top row is more expensive than that. Even when Florida is good though, they aren't something people want to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one team that hasn't been as successful (comparatively), the Canucks, seem to lose attendance when things aren't going so well. I'm not sure about the Jets yet, I guess we'll see once those season tickets are up for renewal.Eta: wow that is a steal of a deal. Hockey, food, parking for $20? I'd jump all over that if a team like the Pens, Hawks or Ducks was visiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demonblade Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Jets season tickets have already been up for renewal. It's not the hot ticket it used to be but they still sell out every game. The waiting list for season tickets is still substantial, as from what I hear the first renewals went quite well. First impressions of the season so far, the Jets are quite ordinary in comparison to the Kings and Sharks. At least, the goaltending is ordinary, and would need to improve or upgrade if they have any hope of proving people wrong about their chances this year. *sigh* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nictarion Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Mike Cammalerri with 4 goals in his first 3 games as a Devil. He's looking like a great pick-up so far. Devils did a good job at shutting down Stamkos too, he had a career high 12 shots the night before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twenty of House Goodmen Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Very pleased with the Isles victory over the Rangers, even if they got vastly outplayed in the second period. Halak really pulled through. Feels nice having a legitimate goal tender now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that sense it's easy to see how he fits in so well with NJ. Parise did leave behind a big void. And I guess it's the same old for the Oilers. At one point they had 2 shots compared to 3 goals by LA. I just can't help but laugh at this team. But I can't stop watching. I need help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nictarion Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Jagr is the fuckin manYeah he is. He is saying he wants to play until he's 50, and people think he's joking. I don't think he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nictarion Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Fucking terrible finish for the Devils. Up 3-1 in the 3rd, they take a delay of game penalty, and give up a goal. Then Zidlicky clears the puck right into the slot for Rick Nash to score any easy goal. Finished by an OT L. Horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Tony of House Stark Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 LETS GO BRUINS!!!! the Sharks are a quality win. the season so far has not been great, but that win is a step in the right direction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabronius Maximus Posted October 22, 2014 Author Share Posted October 22, 2014 Peter LavioletteA healthy Rinne also does wonders. This team looks like a legit playoff contender with him back there. How has Neal (pronounced Knee-al) looked so far? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Antony Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Neal has been great but the surprise for me has been Filip Forsberg. A kid we got when we traded Erat to Washington a couple years back. He's been immense. Played himself onto the first line. I see Hornqvist has been doing okay so far in Pitt :) makes me happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see Hornqvist has been doing okay so far in Pitt :) makes me happyYeah I remember that trade...even back then the general consensus was that the Caps lost that one. Now it looks like they got straight up robbed. I'm still waiting for Colin Wilson to break through though. He was one of my favorite players to watch when he played at BU, and I always thought he'd be a star level player at some point. Seems like that optimism might be misplaced...
