It's looking like Zetterberg will be named the Red Wings 35th captain. Not that it wasn't obvious.

Here's the skinny: 48 games in 99 days. 18 divisional games and the 30 games against the other 10 teams in the conference.

Flyers first round pick from last year (Scott Laughton) is making some noise at camp and might make the opening night roster, he's been centering the 3rd line in practice. Depending on how the defense plays I think he might be a trade chip due to all of the young depth that the Flyers have at forward.

So I came across this:

Had to kind of laugh. If I was a player there is no fuckin way I would put up with any of that bullshit.

I've had 2 run ins with some army boot camp bs in sports and both times I told the dudes to go fuck themselves cuz I wasn't doing shit for them :yao:

Thank god I never thought about the army cuz I would of been kicked out right away.

Can't find any good seats for Red Wing games. Only available seats right now are up in the rafters.

Stub hub will be the key for wings tickets. I almost never buy them at full price anymore because there's so many people trying to get some money back on their tickets.

Highlights of stub hub for me last year:

$65 for 7th row from the glass tickets that were $110 face value in Columbus

$110 for club seats in Buffalo last year when the seats were $250 a piece :yao: I had my own private bar :rofl:

Upcoming highlights include

Possible Leafs @ Tampa Bay/Florida Panthers and the tickets will probably cost $80 for both games combined and thats literally 4th row from the glass seating :yao: I love how everything is so cheap in the states.

I wanted to maybe check out a game in Toronto, any good games this year that fall on a Monday or Tuesday?

You taking out a 2nd mortgage on your house? GL with that. :yao:


Srsly tho, teams are essentially playing 4 times a week to make this season work, im sure you'll get some decent dates for it. Quick glance at the schedule and it looks like they play 5-6 times at home on Mon/Tue. Devils/Rangers/Flyers/Canes/Panthers

April 8th Rangers @ Leafs. If you're going to pay to see a one sided home loss you might as well pay to see the Stanley Cup Champions.

Yeah, for the seats that are underneath and behind the boxes. You can see the ice and nothing beyond the far boards cause it blocks the whole crowd lol.

Sat there once, never again. Aint worth the money.
