Last one on Beato. He IS a bit of a lightning rod which makes his vids even more entertaining.

I had to leave the NJ sub, it was just painful to sift through all the political stuff. Even my damn fantasy football sub turned political when they got swept up in the “banning links from twitter” fad.

i haven't been to a game in almost 10 years...i went to buy 2 tickets on stubhub for saturday and i see two separate $50 fees (one for each ticket) on top of the $113/seat tickets i was fully willing to buy. obviously i cleared my cart and didn't make the purchase.
is that the new normal? who in the hell is paying an extra $50 a ticket? it's just absurd. f*** you, stubhub

He doesn't need to be a transcendent player every shift, the playoffs are about moments and he typically performs well in big moments.
Nobody remembers him being invisible against Carolina in 2023, they remember him big-boying Adam Fox and setting up McLeod's shorthanded game winner. If he can have one big play like that I'll look the other way regarding everything else about him this season.
That's not to say you're wrong about the second part, he does need to be bought out.
It's against the rags unfortunately. Supply and demand. Some people have discretionary income to blow. Most don't.
Stubhub realizes their fees are ridiculous and put the filter option to include those fees way down where you have to scroll to turn the option on. What's even more insane are the fees are variable depending on where the seats are located. Check out section 17. $307 dollar fee.

that's absolutely disgusting. i mean, i understand supply and demand for a rangers game, i was fine overpaying for each ticket by $15 bucks or whatever it was. but a fee shouldn't be subjected to that same principle.
i'm lucky enough to be in a position where i do have discretionary income to blow (for a change), but now it'll be at a dispensary. stubhub can f*** off
Same here. I'm on Twitter quite a bit and never had any issues, though I usually stick to my own feed versus using the algorithm. Personally, I think it's better to err of the side of not banning people and blocking posts based on subjective reasoning as much as possible. The community notes feature, while far from perfect, I believe is probably the best system currently in place on social media platforms to try to combat false information, which is an impossible job. I do wish there was a way to have some level of control over the algorithm though.

Take a look at Tickpick if you haven't already. They don't have the fees tacked on at the end, so you see what the cost would be up front per ticket. The cheapest two ticket options I see there are $135.
It sucks that the Ranger game gets inflated this way, but it also helps prevent me from attending one given it brings out the worst of both fan bases.
Last regular season game against the Rags I attended was 2013.
that's crazy shit....
tickets for upper ends were $25 including fees on stubhub for last night's lightning/sens game

In 1989 you could go to the box office and get any seat in the house for $28 or less
. I have a Row 1 $28 ticket for the home opener against Calgary somewhere in the house. We sat just to the side of Mike Vernon twice...He smiled and waived to my wife....never really cared for goaltenders since.

You can get into the majority of Devil games for that price in the upper levels if you look closely enough. It’s what I did for years when I wanted to attend a game because I never care who the opponent is, I just want to go and enjoy my team.
Now that I’ve got two boys, I go way less since they’re little but that’ll definitely be the play as they get older. Especially when you now can’t park for cheaper than $30 seemingly anywhere on top of getting any concessions at all. I don’t know if there’s anything to eat there under $10.

Did this entire board smile and wave to your wife at some point?

I just checked it wasn't the "home opener" it was the 2nd home game of the year 10/10/1989.Did this entire board smile and wave to your wife at some point?

If I remember correctly (I probably don't), that was the first year I got season tickets (partial plan), and I think the home opener was against Pit.
i was 15. went with a friend/soccer teammate at the time. he went on in life to do....well..... all i'll say is google college street bar news.
i digress, this is team thread...

It was. And the only reason I know that is cause I just checked.
I had shared season tickets that year and I gave up the Pittsburgh game for something else I don't remember. But I didn't have tickets for the Calgary game, I bought them at the box office the day of the game.
My first "real" gig was 2004, I was 16. Hoobastank. £12.50 (which at the time would have been like $9).
Yeeeeeesh. We managed to get beer with a friends fake ID though. That was good. Supported by Three Days Grace who were much, much better than the Stank.

thanks buddy i’ll check it out. believe me, i tried explaining the dynamics of a devils/rangers game to the old ball and chain but she insisted. then again, she’s a (very casual) flyers fan so needless to say her judgement is very flawed to begin with.Take a look at Tickpick if you haven't already. They don't have the fees tacked on at the end, so you see what the cost would be up front per ticket. The cheapest two ticket options I see there are $135.

I also saw Bowling For Soup, CKY, A Perfect Circle and Amy Winehouse that year (same venue).
I think Amy was the best and the most "expensive" ticket at like 20 quid. What a talent she was. But still, pretty good year for a 16 year old. Had to save up a lot of pocket money.
Only reason I remember is cause we got in a fender bender on the drive in and missed the opening ceremonies
