Series Thread: Second round: New York Rangers vs. Ottawa Senators

[jstewismybastardson]

Minus about 85% of the commuters that make the trek to Glendale a PITA. Heading west on the 417 at 5-6 pm isn't bad. $30 for parking is a ripoff but that's, what, $10 more than what they pay in DT Van or TO?

In Vancouver theres a mass transit alternative so you dont HAVE pay for parking if you go to a game ... is there one in Kanata (idk)?

I looked and i saw there were $20 dollar lot alternatives for the Sens and a $30 lot ... get the impression they raised the rates for second round but yah thats not a total deal breaker preventing people from going to games ... however I did see some accounts on twitter that make it seem it was like a "luxury fyre festival" type atmosphere for many getting out of those parking lots post game last night lol

Sure it's the playoffs and sure there is a bunch of very good young talent in this league, but besides that I find myself caring less and less about the NHL these days. I don't really care for the on ice product as much. The league keeps tweaking the rules, has a ridiculous point system and rules that change from face off to face off and refs that game manage. Playoff tickets are expensive and I have a feeling there are a lot of fans who mirror my sentiments about the game today. I could go to the Ducks game tonight for two people and spend $130 which is a hell of a deal and still I chose to do other things with my money (not coke and hookers for those wondering).

Tony Gallagher, is that you?

/I agree with pretty much all of the above (including coke and hookers)

I see stub hub has $79 tickets available for game 2 (lowest price right now) ... click through for the service charges and it goes to $97.30 for the ticket .... in US dollars

I blame the last 3 pages of this thread on the lame@$$ Rangers fans that wont come out and engage with Kenny.

/was that neutral enough?

Hey Dart Guy. You aren't allowed to have an opinion on any series if your team isn't in it.

Geez, that would eliminate 98% of the posts on this board these days

Turned on the game just in time to see Pageau score.

You're welcome Sens fans...

Not exactly a goalie duel

 

[higgyfan4]

Whoa, what a finish! OT here we come...

Whoa, what a finish! OT here we come...

Yeah, I love playoff hockey.

 

[puckhead]

Wow, what a game.
Just turned on for the 3rd

It's funny that there are several great hockey games that have ended with a 6-5 score.

I'll take JG Pageau to complete the Joe Thornton cock trick with the OT winner.

 

[beantownmaniac]

NY: Grabner

OTT: Brassard

 

[beantownmaniac]

Well Brassard won't be scoring in the next 2 minutes

 

[higgyfan4]

Turris FTW

Craig Anderson, stay in your net.

I haven't seen a high sticking penalty botched that badly since Kerry Fraser in 1993.
