GDT: Game 1: Islanders @ Hurricanes, 7pm

[AhosDatsyukian]

Hoping we go up 3-0 in the series and Isles fans want to sell off their game 4 tickets for cheap. Surprised how expensive those tickets are.

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

I'll admit, I farted when the buzzer went off, pressure was getting to me

Try Anton Dubinchuk’s patented anti-bloating technique.

Lie face down on your bed. Expand/push your belly into the bed as far/hard as you can (pretend you’re trying to make your belly look as fat as possible).

If you’re even slightly bloated, this technique will result in an immediate, lengthy, and satisfying fart. You may also get a satisfying lower back pop, or you may not.

This post is entirely serious. I’ve Googled around and I cannot find anything suggesting this technique. I think I’m the inventor and it’s probably my most likely path to being in a textbook someday.

Nah, it's expected. It's New York, it's New York prices, AND they're resales.

 

[Canes]

Always love this time a year on HF. I'm going to be a good boy and not rack up half a dozen warnings and violations this year.

 

[AhosDatsyukian]

Nah, it's expected. It's New York and it's New York prices.

they're considerably more expensive than tickets were at barclays when we met last time and that was round 2 when the team had higher expectations.

 

[surfzone365]

Good stuff. Let’s light the lamp a bit more next time.

 

[3CanesInTheBox]

If Raanta is going to continue to stop AND score goals at this rate we are unstoppable lololol

Location helps a ton, I'm sure. Brooklyn was always a bad idea to begin with.

 

[Blueline Bomber]

Game went pretty much how everyone expected. Low scoring game, with both goaltenders keeping their team in it at various points. The only surprise was the PP being productive, though the latter ones left a lot to be desired.

Thank you for the viewpoint. Always enjoy seeing the perspective from inside the building. Looks like a lot of energy

It was as loud as Ive heard it. Crowd was rowdy

Probabaly the new building and because everything is more expensive now, too. I’ve seen crazy ticket prices all over NY

 

[PredsV82]

Groovy.

 

[Negan4Coach]

Welp, just as advertised- 2-1 final.

Can't argue with results. screw em.

Inflation has been sort of bad nationwide but it is particularly bad in the places where you'd think they'd be bad, AKA NY/CA/MA. There's a reason why many have been fleeing there in recent years.

Re: price of tickets. I’m Glad I’m not a NY Knicks fan:

Knicks playoff tickets can cost up to $15,000 — with thousands more tacked on in service fees

The map’s seating chart lists available tickets for the game which start as low as $370 per just to sit in the nosebleeds.

Yeah thats definitely more a NY thing.

Nobody in LA knows what ice looks like, ice skating is, or what hockey is, so tickets are literally at least half as expensive of NY

Even as a Hornets fan, I can say I am glad I'm not a Knicks fan either.

If we win 15 more games 2-1 I will smile ear to ear and SCREAM for joy a W is a W.

Yep at least we know we suck bad every year. Knicks fans actually have some hope and yet are still nearly as bad as us

 

[HisIceness]

1 down.

I don't even follow the NBA and I can say I'm glad I'm not a Knicks fan.

Next.

Canes have won the last seven I've attended. Wish I could get down more often.

It’s a cool arena. Old school feel but modern. Easy in and out especially for NY.

 

[hockeynjune]

I am toast,I have no voice left. Gotta recoup for Wednesday.

NC State basketball has two more recent championships than the Knicks lol
