My coworker has half-season tickets and he got tickets for Game 2 and Game 7 for about $150... but the cheapest ticket on Ticketmaster is almost $300... | Which is exactly why the best way to do it although it's a bit too late now due to wait list is to get an icepack or season tickets.
I was lucky and applied during the West Coast Express days and only on the wait list for 1 year before I was able to get an Icepack. What I do every year now is pick a few games I intend to go to and sell the rest for TM face value. With the discount we get the TM face value I sell them for still givese me enough profit to watch my games for free.
I have Upperbowl 2 tickets this year and my Finals Game 2 tickets only cost $380 for the pair. If only I had Full Seasons =\

The Chicago Wolves would be a horrible affiliate to develop players as the owners there are interested more in icing a vetern, competitive team and turning a profit. The Wolves have gone through many different NHL team affiliations over the years with the management and owners quite often bumping heads with their NHL counterparts. The Wolves really have no interest in developing players properly for the NHL at all.
The Canucks really get screwed in loosing their agreement with Moose management guys like Chipman and Heisinger. It was Heisinger that found Burrows, Rypien, Bolduc and Mark Flood (who many are saying could be the next diamond in the rough) it was Heisinger that fought to keep and offer Bieska a pro contract when Bieska was a 5th round after thought. Chipman and Heisinger played key roles in developing Schneider, Burrows, Kesler, Hansen, Edler and Bieska, sometimes I think people overlook how important it is to have a proper development system for your prospects, not every player is a Ovechkin or Crosby, most need proper guidance to develop into the players they are today. | Canucks should try to steal Hesigner...offer him a nice contract to continue to develop players for them.

Sorry, I'm from outta town so don't know this stuff. thanks | FYI and i'm sure you all know but just in case they are adding 2 additional screens downtown for your viewing.
Canuck fans will have no shortage of places downtown to watch the Stanley Cup Finals with fellow diehard fans.
Two new viewing sites were announced by the city and CBC Tuesday.
A giant television screen will be set up in the 700-block Granville Street, in the prime pedestrian block sandwiched between Georgia and Robson Street.
The screen will be mounted on the back of a flat-deck truck that will be parked on Granville Street —— similar to the setup during last summer’s World Cup matches.
The CBC Fan Zone outside the CBC in the 700-block of Hamilton, between Georgia and Robson, will also get another large TV screen.
The site has already proved to be popular with fans — rain or shine — during previous Canucks’ playoff matches. Both sites will open at 3 p.m.
“The excitement and anticipation for the first game of the Stanley Cup playoffs is building in our city, and we want to make the most of it,” said Mayor Gregor Robertson in a media release.
“As we all join to cheer the Canucks, we want to ensure the city’s celebrations are family friendly, fun and, most of all, safe for everyone.”
Fans are asked to tote their own chair or blankets, but are advised to leave the booze at home.
Vancouver Police officers will be on-site, Chief Jim Chu said.
“We want the focus to be on the game. Leave the liquor at home and allow our officers to focus on keeping everyone safe,” he said.
Both locations will show home and away games.
Last week, Canucks management also announced that Rogers Arena will be open for fans during the team’s away games.

I think Winnipeg/Manitoba will be called the Moose...they have spent a shit load of money on branding.
TSNBobMcKenzie
Ladd is RFA with strong arb case who is one year away from unrestricted free agency. May be first big test of WPG's ability to sign players.
It will be interesting to see what happens here..

Sure sounds like when all is said and done with titles/personnel, Craig Heisinger will be in charge of all hockey operations.

winnipeg <---- FUCKED UP; franchise that rank 29th will not rank top 10 among all teams after next season
calgary
vancouver
edmonton
edmonton
phoenix and florida is best to relocate to hamilton and quebec city... the nhl will be a much more richer major sport http://www.forbes.com/lists/2010/31/...s-10_land.html

I have a buddy talking to one right now. He apparently has 'online' tickets and started selling almost a week ago. Is a business man who used to work in Vancouver. He wants Western Union payment, and but sent to a business address in Israel ahah

nhl is gold digging winnipegians / true north making them play in the south east division and having one of the most expensive tickets in the nhl with high standards of
"must sell out arena to work out" - gary bettman
dont make sense when florida panther tickets are $15 each with free hot dog and a drink... fatass americans probably just go watch hockey game to chill with the AC
