digitalmonkey 929 Posted January 30, 2009 Author Share Posted January 30, 2009 How hard do you think it would be to get two reasonably priced tickets to the Montreal in Toronto game on April 4th? Link to post Share on other sites
serge 904 Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 How hard do you think it would be to get two reasonably priced tickets to the Montreal in Toronto game on April 4th?define reasonable and would you be willing to sit way up??I have two friends who have season tickets and sometimes they will give up some tickets...Montreal usually is tougher though.

She's been to a few games but has been up high so obviously I'd like to get as close as possible without breaking the bank. I have no idea how much tickets cost as the last Leafs game I saw live was against the Black Hawks (yes, it was two words back then) and Darren Pang was in net for Chicago.What kind of seats would [1st (65%) -] $494 get me?

I think it would depend on a lot of factors...It doesnt look like that will be a meaningful game for the Leafs and the going price might be lower than usual. My educated guess would say that $500 would get you a couple of nice seats..Definetely not platinum but probably half decent...If however that is a meaningful game, ie the Leafs when on a huge run(i know unlikely) and its playoff atmosphere, than that probably wouldnt get you in the door.

gruven 530 Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Is your cousin hot? I will ask. If they say yes, it's face value. Usually greens for about 85 per Link to post Share on other sites
Speed Limit 0 Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Here's a little situation I was wondering about.Team A and Team B are tied in the last minute of the third period. Team A takes a hooking call putting Team B on the powerplay with a minute to go. Team A takes an interference call on the ensuing faceoff to make it a 5 on 3 with 55 seconds to go.Team B fails to score before the end of the period. How do the penalties start in overtime? In normal play their 5 on 3 would carry over. In overtime rules 4 on 4 play is applied. 4 on 2 cannot be played. 4 on 3 wouldn't seem fair to Team B(unless it's for the added time of both penalties I guess). So what happens here?

Zach6668 513 Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Yeah, a 2-man advantage in OT just goes as 5 on 3. They'll actually end up playing 5-on-5 if there's no whistles between the 5-on-3 and after they both get out. The next whistle after that, they go back to 4-on-4. Link to post Share on other sites

The next whistle after that, they go back to 4-on-4.It's also the same if you're playing 4 on 3 in OT and you take another penalty. The Power play team actually gets to put another skater on the ice to make it 5 on 3. Link to post Share on other sites
nell789 0 Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Do players ever bite their own lip, drawing blood to turn a 2 minute high sticking penalty into a double minor? If so, how common is it? Link to post Share on other sites

gruven 530 Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 But is it worth it in the stanley cup final?A lot more cameras on you in the stanley cup final. I know a trainer that experimented with blood capsules, but they figured the cameras would catch it. Link to post Share on other sites
troyomac 0 Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Dear Gruven, is there a new rule where you can high stick a guy, probably causing blindness, and not get penalized for it? Link to post Share on other sites

I've been looking for the next Mike Green since midseason last year, and I'm quickly coming to the conclusion that he's a total abberation that happens once, maybe twice per generation. The son of a bitch has more goals this season than any forward on my team except Simon Gagne whom he's tied with. Link to post Share on other sites

Personally, I think he may still be the #1 OFF D in the NHL the next 2yrs, as long as he stays healthy and on Washington. Any reason why he wouldn't?And Im with you Adam.....the thing that scares me about him as a fantasy GM is the meteoric rise.....I never saw THIS much coming. 40pts a year, ok. But these numbers are sick. Link to post Share on other sites
