That being said, there are lots of deals in the smaller hockey markets in the US. I believe Nashville and Atlanta had cheap cheap tickets with free dinner included. | Yep a lot of these places even have All You Can Eat LOL.
I wonder how many of the small markets have close proximity to the actual city. Cause I was considering PHX, but Glendale is so far!

Does anyone know where the rink is for the Florida Panthers? I am going to be in Miami, and want to catch a game. Is TB going to be closer?

TB is over 2 hours away from Miami.
I can't believe this but row 4 tickets in Section 116 for the Panther's is $150 usd plus $7.75 service charge. I better get some happy endings for that price. 
Just checked craigslist and looks like the tickets are a lot cheaper than what ticketmasters is quoting.
I guess I'll be bringing my Luongo jersey to Miami with me.

i was just down in Phoenix and the cab driver told me that the people dont even like hockey there..... i guess this is how the world works, giving people things they dont want or need over people that want it or need it.

I think a lot of US markets will suffer this season, and the Phoenix situation is sad. For a guy like Jovo who wears his heart on a sleeve, not having the fans there is a shitty deal.
US teams are getting in on the Canadian passion for hockey - check out this CANADA DAY in L.A!!
Tickets start at just $39 and include a ticket to the game and a ticket to the post-game concert starting at 10:00 pm at Club Nokia at LA LIVE. Discounts are also available for groups of 15 or more. Tickets go on sale to the general public on August 28 with tickets available in all areas of the arena. To purchase tickets, visit LAKings.com/canadiannight, Ticketmaster.com or call 1-888-KINGS-LA.

But that probabaly still means within top 4 then.
Maybe even better since the West is usually stronger than the East.
But season ranking means nothing if they choke in the first round like the Sharks.
