Derlique Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 This team is maddening, but fun! Much better than anyone could've expected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bostondevil11 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Thinking back to the off season when we were not sure if we wanted ilya kovalchuk to come back or to sign him and trade him. This season is SO MUCH better than I had expected. Enjoying the ride. I wonder if Ilya now regrets his choice of staying in Russia with the Olympics a distant dream for Russia? Who care screw him!

HA Guess it all depends on how much another KHL championship means to him. He's playing on another stacked team...his team's goal differential is +116 through 49 GP. I still think if he ever comes back to the NHL, he won't make it through a season...he's used to having the odds comfortably slugged in his favor now on a game-by-game basis...his team has gone a combined 90-12-9 and has outscored the opposition 453-200 in the past two seasons. I don't think he'll respond to any unexpected adversity well at this stage of his hockey existence...I could see him saying "fvck it, why do I need this sh!t?!" about halfway though an NHL season, even more so now than I though before. He should just stick to the K and enjoy not dealing with any real challenges...seems to suit him perfectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously no one else out of this last draft class, though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nessus Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Boeser and Barzal seem to be the consensus top two rookies this year according hockey writers, but I bet any Boston fan could not be happier that they have McAvoy over either of those guys.

thecoffeecake Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Nico is somehow flying under the radar. 9th in the league in 5v5 primary assists per 60. That's pretty much the most accurate gauge of playmaking ability and execution, and the motherfvcker is 19. He sits directly behind Johnny hockey, and not far behind. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJDfan1711 Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Ok so I know this is off topic but since the last few posts have been about FL, don't kill me... Some may know I live on the southwest coast of Florida. I may be going to the Wings-Panthers game in a few weeks with a friend who's from Michigan. He already has tickets with his girlfriend, so when me and another guy were looking online for tickets for ourselves, we were surprised to see that they're as cheap as 15-20 bucks. Not that alarming considering Bolts tickets were sometimes that cheap 10 years ago when they sucked, but still, that's cheap. Here's the kicker though - for sh!ts and grins we looked at tickets to the Panthers Canucks game the day before (or after, cant remember)...the price? $7! WHAT?

I guess it’s just the cache of the South Florida market that will keep them there, since only turning into an Oilers like dynasty is ever going to lack of fan interest. Haven’t the local papers pretty much stopped covering them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecoffeecake Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Don't you guys remember the story of the Canucks fan who bought Panthers season tickets because they were so cheap (like under $200) and came with an authentic jersey? I think he gave them all away, until he decided to hop on a plane and catch a game. He said he emailed the team about how he was a huge fan living in Vancouver and had season tickets, and the owner met with him when he went down. He had a picture of him with the Cats owner. It went viral a few years ago. I'm never surprised at ticket prices anymore. I've paid as little as $25 to see the Devils in Philly, and have at times not been able to go to weekday games because they were $80+. I've paid $15 for games at the Rock, and I've dropped $40 for crap games. I've gotten Phils tickets for $2.50 and seen St. Joe's basketball tickets go for $175. You can't see Monmouth basketball for less than $15, and aside from the last 2 seasons, they've pretty much always been terrible in a mid major conference. The sports ticket market is so arbitrary.

I went to, pretty sure it was Game 2 (btw, you mean 2012 I'm assuming, right?), and sat in the 200s, and although I don't remember exactly what I paid for the tickets, I don't think it was any less than 35. It may have even been like 40-50 per ticket. Who knows. But it sounds like you got a great deal, regardless of how easily they are giving away tickets.

Henry Killinger Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 When I lived in Boca, I used to go to Panthers games quite often, just because it was so cheap and only like a 20 minute drive down the Sawgrass. Plus the tickets usually came with free food or something. You could tell on TV that they piped in crowd noise when the Panthers scored, because it was never that loud at the arena when they scored. Usually louder for the visiting team, especially if it was a team from the Northeast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
