NHL Thread

Glad to see there's a hockey thread here. I'm a life long Philly fan and I get zero coverage here in Texas. Can't wait to move back north.

That bothers me...If Bettman is gonna keep trying to grow the sport below the border...you gotta make sure they have access to good hockey. I know the Stars are at the bottom of the interest pool in Texas, but still. My buddy is playing University Baseball right now down in Texas, and he can go to the Stars games for like 15-20 dollars....blows my mind. I make it to probably two Canucks games a year. And tickets are 200 bucks minimum. And those arent the good seats.

I'd probably have to sell my car to get tickets to a Leafs game.

I'm 3 hours south of Dallas and don't hear a peep on the radio about them. I go to the Texas Stars games and park about 75' from the entrance and drop $80 for 4 tickets and snacks/food. While I appreciate the conditions, I loathe the coverage.

Dallas Stars*

And yea that sucks...I can't take two steps in any direction here without hearing about the Canucks haha. At least your boy Giroux finally burried his first of the year...Underwhelming to say the least. He's burned his spot on the Canada roster come February.

Everything here is expensive. I've just accepted that I probably won't be getting out to any hockey games in the near future

Well, they can't be that much more than Vancouver's prices are they?

I'm not sure. I've never looked at prices for Canucks games but I imagine they cost about the same. There's nothing like seeing games in person, but I don't want to practically empty my bank account in one transaction, lol.

Even Blue Jays games are getting expensive now. You used to be able to get nosebleed seats for $9 but I think it's gone up. My dad gets season tickets through his work though, which is nice.

Maple Leafs are the highest ticket prices in the NHL, Canucks are 5th highest.
