NHL 2022/2023 season thread

First two games are in Toronto.

According to Ticketmaster a good amount of nosebleed upper level seats are available for Games 3 and 4 in Florida. Plus plenty of resales in the lower level. It doesn’t say anything about US sales only, but maybe it will when you go to pay.

Did not know that. I’m just a bandwagon fan. Lol.
Guess the seats will be packed tonight then.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Panthers playoff tickets are cheaper than Leafs regular season prices. When we went to a Panthers game in March 2022 they were very reasonably priced. About $75 for the 5th or 6th row behind the goal.

On the other hand, in 2017 we attempted to go to a Maple Leafs game. Midweek in October vs an unattractive opponent, maybe Columbus or Phoenix. Only tickets available at the box office were about $250. Even secondary sellers wanted way too much a half hour before game time. We passed on attending.

Cheaper to drive the Pittsburgh or Buffalo to see a leafs game.

I was reading an article earlier that Snoop Dogg was part of one of the groups looking to buy the Sens. I think that would be great. He’s a big hockey fan. Wish he was part owner in FSG instead. They own the Penguins. Lebron James is part of the FSG group, I’d much rather Snoop!

It will be interesting to see who buys, would love it to be Snoop! My daughter saw Ryan Reynolds at a game near the end of the regular season.

Well, we're still waiting to see who goes to the conference finals. I think I would like to see a Stanley Cup Final with Panthers and Kraken. Just to mix it up for this year.

I guess my wish for the Kraken didn't come true.

Can't believe I'm saying this. Go Panthers!

The Panthers are definitely my choice now. I don’t want either team on the East to win lol

Tempe, Arizona voters rejected a new arena for the Coyotes.

Bettman crapped his pants.

Bettman will have the Coyotes playing in a dilapidated rec center rink rather than admit defeat.

I’m not sympathetic to Arizona hockey fans. There is a perfectly good arena in Glendale. Too many of their fans say it’s inconveniently located. Horsefeathers!!! Many other NHL teams fill their arenas with fans from distances just as far away.

As a Jets fan, this hurts my heart. This team is miles and miles from the team where Selanne set the record for most goals by a rookie (76..it will never be broken).

Before we got our Jets 2.0, we paid very close attention to what was happening with the franchise. I remember watching a stream of a Glendale city council meeting where they tried to decide the fate of the team. There was a time when it may have been a very slim chance we could have bought them back. Now, for better or worse, we have a team and we don’t have to worry about what a room full of Arizonans think.

Bettman is so stubborn that he will never allow the team to relocate. If that happens, he has to admit defeat, and there’s a zero percent chance of that happening.

What a game last night! Sixth longest game ever. Did anyone else stay up til the bitter end?
