Dubnyk isn't anything special, but that GAA is super inflated. The Oilers D is terrible.

 

[Phil The Thrill]

Dubnyk is usually pretty average. Leafs probably only should have had two last night - Lupul's first and JVR's first.
 
It amazes me that Oilers fans try to argue their D is solid.

 

[Phil The Thrill]

And good god these ducks jerseys are nice
 

 

[snipezo]

Oilers still suck, what's new?

 

[Phil The Thrill]

You'd think after how many top picks they'd at least contend.
 
It seems like forever people have been saying "in the future."

 

[Fuhgeddaboudit]

And they'll still end up with a fucked up cap situation lol

 

[Fuhgeddaboudit]

After picking up Ben Bishop, I actually came out on top in goaltending position. Hiller and Ben Bishop outweighed Crawford's poor performances and I won the matchup for the week.
 
Fucking sweet!!
 
Was losing because of the goaltending haha

Fuhgs what's a good are to sit at a Hockey game for an affordable price, and what would be considered an affordable price? I've never been to a Hockey game but I want to go to an Islanders game next month, preferably on a Friday or something. Just don't know how much to spend and where to sit. Obviously I want to try and be close to center ice and not be all the way at the ends -- but I found some tickets that were like $65 a piece and on the corner, not too high up either. 

 

[Fuhgeddaboudit]

Islander tickets aren't too expensive from what I've seen although they got more expensive because of succeeding.

Ummmm I usually buy from stubhub, I don't know anywhere else. Ranger tickets are expensive though so I don't necessarily go that often.

$65 sounds pretty good for the seat you might be sitting in. Was never sure how Nassau looked but I think center ice not too high is awesome.

What game is $65? Who are they playing?

 

[Giantmetfan07]

Bruins. November 2nd. And I also found $74 tickets at the lowest level on the corner:

VIP 106 because I was looking for 3 tickets together at the time. 
 
Opposite corner it says section 226 defend endzone (whatever that means) for $65. 
 
And wow, I thought this was the Gameday thread, lol. Im actually gonna move these posts to that thread for w/e. 

 

[Fuhgeddaboudit]

Honestly I don't like any of them that are close and are directly behind the nets. It's so hard to see the other side and it's also annoying seeing the glass.

I like the corners that are a little higher or anything in the center.

1)center low OR high, not bad
2) corners mid level nothing low
3) don't get anything behind the net low, where you aren't looking above the glass. Hard to see the other end because the puck is leveled to your eyes if you're looking straight
I think I saw a few $60-$70 for centers too

 

[Giantmetfan07]

yea i could probably find Center ones if I looked at a few different games. At the time I was looking for 3 as a potential gift for my cousin in which him, my brother and I would go to a game together but I abandoned that idea, lol. I'll keep looking. I just wasn't sure what locations were so thanks for those tips. 

 

[Fuhgeddaboudit]

Yep, I hear you. Bruins vs. Islanders is a good game though. I'm sure you know the better games are more $$ haha.
 
I usually go to Rangers vs. Panthers when I'm cheap.

Shit. I'd kill to have those prices at the Garden (TD)

Same here at MSG. Probably get those seats for a good game for like $150

 

[Teagz]

Center is the best imo. Sitting behind the nets is annoying as hell.

Especially if they are close, or lower level

 

[NV]

Hank with the shutout tonight.
 
Much needed. 

 

[Rios15]

I like sitting behind the nets though lol.

 

[Fuhgeddaboudit]

Hell yeah! I hope that sparked up the team. Good stuff rangers
