I can't imagine that too many fans will be willing to pay THAT much for first-round playoff seats...you've got some STH simply deciding to see if anyone is loony enough to bite on these initial insane prices. But if that's what it ever costs to go to playoff games, count me out. That's just fvcking nuts. Small sample size but nobody around me is selling our tickets, we've had only 2 home playoff games since 2012 so I just don't see that many season ticket holders selling their tickets unless it's obvious we are getting knocked out. Like if it's a situation where we can be swept if we aren't hosting or can get knocked out in 5 games cause we are down 3-1 then I can see people selling them off but for games 1 and 2 if we host I just don't see a lot of long term season ticket holders selling them off. Of course there will always be a ton of that sh!t blue and it will always look worse than it actually is cause it stands out but I'm really hoping we can win the division or the Rangers drop down to 4th cause I'd like to actually enjoy a full home atmosphere for our first playoff series since 2018 and not be annoyed and stressed out lol 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But even if it’s 50% of that low end cost for the first round imagine how expensive Stanley Cup seats would be? The playoffs are expensive period, my entire playoff invoice is only like 2.5k less than the entire 44 home games for the pre/regular season. We've "saved" so much money since 2012 with only having 2 home games since then that it doesn't even bother me at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So even if some STH are making them available, it’s not very many. Edited March 14, 2023 by Colorado Rockies 1976 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajsgolf Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Ok, I know playoff experience is a thing, but why should it be? What about having the experience benefits one team over another? If a team is consistently winning during the regular season why should that not necessarily carry over into the playoffs if they’re playing the same game they did during the regular season, which brought them success? Is it a line change thing in that teams need to take shorter shifts or just always know who to put out on the ice at just the right time? Is it the physicality component that isn’t used as much during the regular season but once the playoffs come around the hits are thrown around much more? Could that be part of the reason Lazar is brought into the lineup today to see what he can do for the Devils as it pertains to hits? Also, I know the Devils beat Carolina and I’m very happy about that (I know, shocking). However for a good portion of the game Carolina controlled the play in the Devils zone, especially after the 1st. Would you attribute that to Carolina having more offensive talent across all 4 lines or more that the Devils were trying to avoid mistakes in the final 2 periods and prevent giving up the lead but not sitting back too much and trying to take advantage of a play when they saw the opportunity? Is that why many say it will be a few years before the Devils are contenders? Are they missing talent throughout the 4 lines that teams like the Bruins and Carolina have or is it more of this so called “experience”?

The physicality is a big part of it but I think making tactical adjustments and learning your opponent plays a bigger role in the playoffs than the regular season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Experience can mean something for some players because those games can feel larger than life to players not accustomed to them...and young players get used to what it's like to face stiff competition almost every night...no bottom-of-the-league patsies to fatten up on. They also get used to playing teams multiple times in a row, where the opposing coaching staff can continue to attempt finding adjustments to find ways to slow them down and take them out of their game. It's a different beast, and some players can't just waltz right into the playoffs and expect to have the same success, without getting a first-hand education as to what it takes to win upon getting there. Fitz didn't necessarily bring in Palat to vastly improve the team's production, as much as he knows that Palat played several years for a winning team, and also showed the ability to raise his game when the stakes were higher. He's the kind of guy who can settle things down, say, if the Devils fall behind 2-0 in a series, and the kids start to feel like they're already beaten or not quite ready. That's where his real value is. Keep in mind that Fitz's vision for what this team will be hasn't been fully realized yet...Timo is still not Timo yet due to needing time to adjust to a new system and new teammates, and the defensemen that figure to be a huge part of this thing in L Hughes and Nemec haven't played so much as a minute in the NHL yet. Of course we'd all LOVE to see the Devils win a Cup this year, but I think the real "OK now it's as much OUR time as it is anyone else's!" window is probably another couple of seasons away...depends upon how quickly L Hughes and Nemec are able to develop and assert themselves. And of course if goaltending good enough to win a Cup with is already in house. Edited March 16, 2023 by Colorado Rockies 1976 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, also im curious how the refunding will work if its a short post season.. if they pull that well refund it to your account sh!t im going to be pissed and that would really be sh!tty. Laying out a lot of extra money in general being that we aren’t going to have 4 home games a round..theres only a possible 7 games per round.

I understand how they’re doing it i get it, just saying I can't speak for how they will do it for the regular on sale but since I renewed for next year already they are letting us do play and pay so they won't charge me until each round ends. So if they play only 3 out of 4 at home I'll only be charged for 3 once that round is over. If it's only 2, then charged for 2 games once the round is over. I doubt they do that for anyone just buying a package on a general sale though. I'd imagine it's just a refund once the Devils are done with the playoffs.

Seriously though with the scheedule, why the hell did we have so many 2-4 day breaks during parts of the start of the year but now when the games matter the most and there are legit playoff races for spots and positioning, SCREW YOU PLAYERS!

A lot of teams gonna be busy as hell down the stretch. It probably wouldn't hurt to go back to an 80-game sched, but of course that won't happen.
