2014 Stanley Cup Ticket Prices

[muebe]

Ticket prices don't matter much while at home watching with cold brew, ABT's, and who knows what else from the grill! 

Not to mention that a hot dog and a cold beer is about 10 times cheaper at home....and you get to see more of the game.

Just went to a Dodger game Friday night when they played the Pirates. 3 draft beers, 1 hot dog, nachos and a bag of peanuts were only $58

Yes and no.  (I have trouble making decisions.)

On TV I get expert commentary and excellent replays.  But I also love the stadium experience and I see things that are never shown on TV; activity behind the play or the way a forward who just passed the puck fights his way through a held check to rejoin the play.  In doing so he becomes another offensive threat that the defending team must account for.  Even if he doesn't touch the puck again he's a valuable part of that drive.  TV can't often show that sort of "away from the puck" play.

So I'm torn as to which is better.  But there's no denying that TV offers the better value.

Paul, as any hockey fan knows, TV does not do the sport justice. It is IMHO the best sport to watch in person. That being said @2500.00 a ticket, the Stanley Cup Finals will be fine for me on TV!

Go Hawks!  Gotta make a date with the Rangers!!!!

I cheer for the Winnipeg Jets, then any western Canadian team, after that any eastern Canadian team still in the hunt.

Now that the Habs are out it will be New York reason, be a good slam on Vancouver mgt after they fired their coach.

As far as for going to a game I refuse to pay that kind of money. It drives me crazy thinking the cost for a family of four to go to a game. It's just a game.

Go maple leafs.  My buddy aren loves that team so I cheer them on.  My wife likes the sharks (they are from our home town).   

And because of my love for the Leafs I doubt Stanley ticket prices will ever be a concern... 67 was the last time they won. They kinda stink...
