I just spoke to a buddy who works as a sales rep for one of the NHL corporate sponsors, he just got his tickets today for himself and for his clients, 8 seats per game for games 2 and 5. So it sounds like they still dealing with the corporate partners today before any public announcement is made.

Face it, tickets for the general public will be in extremely limited quantities...
Your best bet is to work out a deal with a season ticket holder, but be prepared to pay $$$!

| http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=5...id=nhl-rxl-twt Quote: EA Sticks with its guns, takes Vancouver By David Kalan - NHL.com Staff Writer
Predictions are a funny thing, and getting them right from the start of the postseason is tricky enough. EA SPORTS has managed to do a pretty decent job with its EA SPORTS NHL '11 Simulation Engine, correctly predicting all but one of the 14 postseason series so far in the Stanley Cup playoffs.
But with the Final comes added pressure. EA SPORTS' reputation doesn't simply have two months of prognostications at stake when Boston and Vancouver drop the puck Wednesday night for the 2011 Stanley Cup Final.
There's a whole season of work on the line.
That's because EA SPORTS' simulations didn't just pick Vancouver and Boston to meet for this season's championship in April, this matchup was pegged way back in October. In an impressive Nostradamus act, EA SPORTS' preseason simulation accurately tabbed Vancouver to win the Presidents' Trophy before facing off with Boston for a chance to lift the Stanley Cup. In those initial predictions, the Canucks pulled through and won their first-ever Stanley Cup championship in a taut seven-game Final.
This time around, with a chance to take a mulligan, EA isn't wavering.
According to its latest predictions, the EA SPORTS NHL '11 Simulation Engine is sticking with the Canucks over Boston in what it expects to be a tight series that goes the distance. And that Presidents' Trophy? It factored in handily as the home team won each game, with one of the more thrilling moments an overtime win by the Bruins in Game 6 at TD Garden to force a decisive seventh game.
In the end, that momentum won't be enough for the B's however, as EA SPORTS has the Canucks holding on in front of the Rogers Arena crowd with a 3-1 win in Game 7. Vancouver goalie Roberto Luongo is picked to take home the Conn Smythe Trophy.
If Vancouver winds up bringing the Cup back to Canada for the first time in 18 years, the people at EA SPORTS may want to begin investing in lottery tickets, but duplicating a 14-for-15 record would be an awfully tall order for 2012. For gamers who can't wait to see what kind of changes EA might make for next year's version of the game, which will be released in stores on Sept. 13, NHL '12 is already available for pre-order on XBOX 360 and Playstation 3 at the EA Store.
For the current playoff season, fans are invited to make their own predictions in the EA SPORTS NHL 2011 Playoff Bracket Contest at www.facebook.com/EASPORTSNHL. Participating fans can accrue points for correct predictions with the ultimate prize at the end of Stanley Cup Final of two tickets to the 2012 NHL All-Star Game in Ottawa on the line.
Final Round fan voting is now open at http://www.facebook.com/EASPORTSNHL.

This might be a stupid question, but if the Canucks win the Cup is there going to be a Championship crest?
Because I don't want to buy a jersey with the Finals crest on it when there could be one with a championship crest?

ballard - 5'11" vs chara - 6'9" | Chara is too slow to get hip checked. And if Ballard attempts one Chara will probably just fall on him. I don't see it happening.
