Checking prices of the tickets for a Blues game, I had some of the cheapest seats when I went. Prices get up to around 250 dollars or so.

~Halo Now you learn the mistake of challenging me.

ah, they went up in the past couple years then.

preds tickets were dirt cheap a few years ago too, and now are at $25-$250 as well.

(which is still super cheap compared to Canada prices)

--
ND

Oh holy s***, the most expensive tickets can get up to $340 actually. God damn.

The cheapest seats are $21-$38 depending on the game.

9/16 of the Devils' wins have been in OT or the shootout

bring on a 3-2-1 point system

Spezza with a huge night. Putting the team on his back and carrying as usual. Guy gets so much undeserved hate. Top 10 centre in the league but he'll never get credit for it because he has to play with Colin Greening and Bobby Butler most of the time.

Welcome to the best sports topic on the board Halo! Hope you enjoy it here.

Might as well post my teams...

Top 5

1. Vancouver Canucks (and the only one I really care about)
2. Boston Bruins (Don't even care that they beat us in the finals, Lucic is the greatest)
3. Florida Panthers (My n**** Versteeg)
4. Winnipeg Jets (Evander Kane has been one of my favourite players since his junior days, nice to see him breaking out this season)
5. Montreal Canadiens (The only other Canadian team I don't hate... also, Price and Subban)

Bottom 5

1. Anaheim Ducks - Ugh.
2. Ottawa - Love to see them lose.
3. Chicago - Don't hate the team that much, just hate how the entire city of Lethbridge bandwagoned them during '09 and '10
4. New York Rangers - Lundqvist is the best, rest of the team.... eh
5. Flames/Oilers - Lolberta

So this may be an weird situation I'll be putting myself in as a Blues fan. I've been planning heavily on moving to Chicago, because it's a great place and I've always wanted to live in a big city (St. Louis is not big). But it's quite obvious that it may be a little awkward when it comes to hockey. I'll still be wearing my Blues cap and stuff, walking down the streets of the enemy >_>

Do you guys think it would really be that odd? I'm sure there are plenty of people in the city that favor a team other than the Blackhawks and stuff.

--

also, Milan Michalek has a god damn concussion

make better helmets, bauer/ccm/reebok/etc

--
ND

I don't know how Michalek got a concussion from that play. Pretty weak.

That said I hope it's not a long one.

Canada's World Junior squad: http://tsn.ca/world_jrs/feature/?id=13609

--

wish they had have invited Nathan MacKinnon, but maybe 16 is "too young" or something

--

Figures that Karlsson's best hit of the year gives our best scorer a concussion.

Also Mark Stone going to kick ass at the World Juniors

So the leading goal scorer (Michalex), the leading scorer (Giroux), and the best player in the world (Crosby) are all out with concussions? That's awful.

--
you just can't live in that negative way...make way for the positive day

Uh, sorry, but what's the difference between a goal scorer and a regular scorer?

--
~Halo Give into the Night.

Goal scorer is just goals, point scorer is goals+assists

--
ONLY FIVE CAN LADDER.
Sushi, kamikaze, fujiyama, nippon-ichi...

one is goals and the other is points (goals and assists)

Time for the Sedins to take over.

In even strength play when you're on the ice and your team scores, you get a +, if you're on the ice and the opponent scores, you get a -. The stat is just the sum of all the pluses and minuses they compile in the season.

Ah, okay. Simple enough. I think that was the only stat I didn't understand, the rest pretty much speak for themselves.

Scorer = total points (goals+assists)

Here's a link to the current league leaders if you're interested.

You can get into the more advanced stats by clicking on the "players" tab, or the "teams" tab if you want to look at how teams compare at things such as powerplay, penalty kill, etc.

off the top of my head:

Skinner
M. Michalek
Z. Michalek
Pitkanen
Pronger
M. Richards
Crosby
McDonald
M. Staal
Gerbe
B. Schenn
Letang

and then the long term guys like Savard and Mueller

--

Ottawa down 1 but only because of Tim Thomas. Definitely look like the better team out there right now. If they continue to play this way they'll be on the board soon. **** Tim Thomas.

annnd Foligno, who has been one of our very best lately, just took an AWFUL knee-on-knee. looks hurt.

--

piss poor reaction on McQuaid's part, don't like to see that on any level

--
where is mankriks wife

yeah, likely suspension.

sucks to see stuff like that, i like mcquaid.

(also foligno surprisingly made it back onto the ice)

--
ND

ugh, couple terrible plays after a nice, tight game.

Sens just can't beat the Bruins when Thomas plays.

--
ND

Why do the Sens love give up quick back to back goals?

man this Bruins team seems so checked out at times tonight

Karlsson should go to the AHL with Rundblad.

Greening - Spezza - Alfredsson needs to stay that way even when Michalek comes back.

--

Pat Kane, you cheeky bastard.

Kaner could do that exact same shot every single time and make it. It's literally unstoppable!

Also, could this be the 4th year in a row that our backup goalie becomes the starter come playoff time??
