Fwiw, the B's have a sellout streak dating back to 12-2-2009. Bruins tickets aren't "distressed merchandise" around here, having to pay a premium is more likely than finding a discount.
I see that. The cheapest pair I can find is around $95. I could find lower level, middle ice tix to a Stars home game for that price!

If I was a Dallas fan I'd be looking for rows 1-3 sections 323/324. That would be the front of the balcony right behind the goal Dallas will shoot at in the 1st and 3 period. Sect 322 and 324 are nice too.

There are no "bad" seats at the garden but if you get too close to ice level you get visual distortion feom the glass and a blocked view from the boards.

Just found some tix on a broker website. Tix were $77 but with all the bullshit charges they came out to about $96 a piece. Section 330, blue line so I can see the Stars shoot twice on that end and see Seguin's hat trick

Hope the fans there aren't douchebags. I plan on wearing my Stars stuff

In Dallas schwag, you'll get a friendly pat on the ass from a hearty southie and probably an offer of a beer out of pity.

As long as you don't wear a Montreal jersey or sit next to John Wensink you'll be fine. If either of those 2 things happen all bets are off.

The Leaves have scored 1 goal in the last 14 periods.

Yes, I wrote 1. In 14 periods. This is of course a good thing if your name in Connor McDavid.

And cue the shots of fans in the stands with bags over there heads that read "overpaid uncoachables" on the forehead.

So much fun being a former Leave fan.

Absolutely disgusting, I was physically ill watching that game. The worst was that jackass bragging about it after the game.

I'll say this: If Carbomb gets 6 for a crosscheck to the arm...a head-shot like that should be at least 12.

Is Letang playing or out indefinitely now?

Yep, came from 20 feet out, left his feet, caught Letang between the 5 and the 8 sending him face/neck first into the glass

"Game time decision" still being tested for a concussion, either way they should keep him out going into the all star break

Yow. Well, I'll have to view the replay on that later today when I have a chance.

Did the game get ugly after the hit (as in, chippy)?




And Zac Rinaldo is a goon akin to Cooke, Torres...plain and simple. No place for idiots like him in the game.

Agree. The Hawks are their last game before the extended break, right? Yeah, no point risking further injury although, Hawks (without Carbomb) aren't typically that sort of team to ram people face-first into boards.

Yep, the refs had no control, the Flyers just started jumping people left and right, it was sickening to watch honestly. I was afraid that we weren't going to have any healthy players to start last night

Car bomb is an extreme case though. He gets suspended or fined for every 42 games he plays. That's his average. That's pretty impressive (although not in a good way).

Correct, last game before the break. I'll be at the game, want me to tweet play by plays for you?

FWIW, and I'm not defending Carcillo's hit...but, that crosscheck is seen almost nightly and nothing ever happens. Because it's Carbomb? 6 games...

Dunno. As a Hawk, Carcillo has been a serviceable and generally has kept his shenanigans from his past to a minimum. He hits and creates energy but does not generally play like a Torres/Cooke/Rinaldo type, IMO.
