And finally, the thread itself becomes a lifelong. The cycle is complete.

The Most Expensive Tickets in Sports (average ticket prices)

5. Vancouver Canucks: $158.09
4. Pittsburgh Penguins: $160.28
3. Montreal Canadiens: $186.67
2. Winnipeg Jets: $197.26
1. Toronto Maple Leafs: $199.62

$241.86 on average for New England Patriots tickets is the most expensive in all of pro sports, but when you consider that those prices are inflated dramatically by the fact that there's only eight home games, it makes the NHL prices look quite ridiculous. Crazy Canadians.

I didn't hate the movie, but it only slightly better than lets say a generic summer blockbuster. It made much more sense when you find out that one of the creators of Lost was responsible for the writing in the film. That style of story telling (especially in film) is pathetic.

Agreed. The movie reminded me of just how shitty Lost was.

Leafs are trying to trade Luke Schenn and 5th for 1st overall apparently (from Friedman?)

that would help edmonton massively they get 2 defensemen to help them along

it almost makes sense for both sides... though if I were edmonton... I'd probably ask franson or holzer in return (on top of schenn)

then they could go into next season with great front line talent... get a big physical defenseman, a very defensive minded defenseman and potentially a dynamic D.

I wouldn't mind that scenario, to be honest. As long as gunnarsson, gardiner or blacker don't move, I'm ok with it.

 

[bonesmccoy]

When you guys get over this "have to hire a french coach" garbage, I'll reconsider.

It's more about hiring a bilingual coach - though the franchise might have spurned that opportunity by appointing that remedial anglophone.

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

But where are Edmonton going to get a goalie from?

 

[purg3]

Would love to see LA close this bitch out on home ice, but I don't have a good feeling. Devils looked pretty solid these past 2 games. LA needs to strike first and early.

Friedman also said he doesn't think it will happen, and I agree with him, I dont think Schenn is enough to move the 1st. Apparently Howson is interested in Murray as well so Edmonton may not be willing to risk moving down to get him and may just draft him at #1.

Kings need to close this out already, I don't want to cancel another parade.

That's what I meant. :lol

Tickets are going for significantly (50%) cheaper than they were for Game 4.

 

[apocalidiot]

I was all Kings for the sweep and general domination during the 'yoffs, but now I want Devils in 7

 

[Smiley90]

Tickets are going for significantly (50%) cheaper than they were for Game 4.

Aaaand there goes the minimal interest the city of LA had in the NHL. Such a sad excuse of a cup-holding city if they win, sorry.

 

[Socreges]

Why's that?

L.A. fans must have forgotten about the Kings already.

I don't see how Canuck fans continue to talk shit as if their city didn't riot a year ago

I really hope Columbus takes Murray. Ensures Galchenyuk will still be there for the Habs.

 

[Clydefrog]

Well, granted the game does start in an hour and there are only 315 tickets left available on Stubhub... it's not that bad I guess. but $820 for row 4 @ center ice! jeeesus that seems so cheap

i'd love to be there but i can't spend another $400 for a game

my friends and I will be screaming loud enough for all of orange county at my place tonight

edit: under 300 left now! they be going fast!

 

[Smiley90]

I don't see how Canuck fans continue to talk shit as if their city didn't riot a year ago

Because it was totally the fans that rioted, right. Isn't that topic getting old?


Edit: if anything, this shows that metro vancouver cares TOO MUCH about hockey... Which isn't necessarily a bad thing. Only when some individuals purposely bring bricks to a public viewing event. But those aren't fans.

 

[littleworm]

Season is over tonight 3-1 Kings, in front of the home crowd, Kopitar and Brown score goals for the Kings with Williams netting the empty netter with 1:07 remaining.The lone Devils goal coming from Parise, and Quick wins the Conn Smyth.

 

[Socreges]

I don't see how Canuck fans continue to talk shit as if their city didn't riot a year ago

Our city riots. Their city doesn't care enough to riot. Why does the former mean we can't point out the latter. Rioting shows heart, brah.

 

[Clydefrog]

I’ll buy a Penner jersey if he scores the winner tonight. I know (and hope) we don’t re-sign him, but I’ll fucking buy that jersey if he gets us the cup.

I guess what I'm trying to say is no one cares what yall (not necessarily Canuck fans) think regarding whether or not LA is a hockey town or not

 

[SpectreFire]

Seems like the same sentiment most of LA have towards hockey in general.

:lol Right. I'm sure everyone who did any damage was just wearing Canucks gear to fit in with the crowd.

Of all the Kings to pick......you pick Penner?

 

[Smiley90]

:lol Right. I'm sure everyone who did any damage was just wearing Canucks gear to fit in with the crowd.

Read the sentence before that, jeez. and then afterwards mob mentality took over and it was a free for all. I'm not trying to defend what happened, I'm just saying there was a lot more to it than "canucks fan riot". Also, noone ever mentions the hordes of people volunteering for days after to clean everything up.

And even IF you look at it black/white and say "canucks fans riot", that still doesn't negate my point that LA couldn't care less about hockey and that it'd be much nicer IMHO to see the cup hoisted in a Hockey-crazy city. I hope I'll see Toronto raising a cup in my lifetime...

 

[Red_Man]

Penguins have still allowed more playoff goals so far (30) then the kings (29). Awesome. Quick needs a shutout.

Another interesting stat, no team has gone up 3-0 and then won the cup in 6 games.

 

[bishoptl]

I didn't riot
I'll continue to talk shit

Without hesitation I'd make that trade. Thus no way Oilers agree to it.

Lol, awesome CBC guys talking over each other.

I will continue not giving a fuck I guess

 

[white dynamite]

So goddamn nervous. I feel like I'm going to have a heart attack and the game hasn't even started yet..

 

[ShaneB]

Let's go Devils, bring on Game 7.

Let's go Kings, I don't want the Devils to win the cup!

 

[Cagey]

Come on boys, let's send a bunch of confused Lakers fans home tonight mildly disappointed.

 

[apocalidiot]

I'm stoked for either outcome tonight

 

[Coldnoodle]

D........E........V........I........L........S

LETS GO

Got my brand new Kings hat and jersey on, let's do this! Protector's of the realm bitch!!

 

[ZeroGravity]

Don't know why people are discounting the Kings if they lose tonight. There's a reason why coming back from 3-0 is such a rare and difficult thing to do. The better team usually isn't the one in the hole.

That said, Kings win tonight and we see a home ice victory.

 

[Herpes Reasons]

i want this shit it end tonight.
i'll need someone's axe and sword.
and not as a phallic object.
leggo.

 

[fallout]

The only thing that gives me any reason to root for the Kings is seeing Richards win the Cup (and then bring it back to Kenora for party).

 

[Marvie_3]

Got my brand new Kings hat and jersey on, let's do this! Protector's of the realm bitch!!

Wat

 

[Alucard]

Go Devils. Push it to 7!

 

[Coldnoodle]

BEATING LIKE A DEVIL

 

[vatstep]

I don't want these fans to be happy. Game 7, let's do dis Devils.
