well done

instead of bumping the 'broadcast on wral' thread again, i'll respond to myself (originally responding to myself) here...

hey, last tuesday me. today me just looked at prices for the game. the cheapest tickets available are section 312 row N. literally the last row in a corner. they are listed for a bit over $100. on a wednesday night.

the cheapest for the rangers that saturday are ~$90. good, ranger fan tax. other games i checked started around 30-40. the ovi multiplier is real.

hey, 10 days ago me. the ovi chase multiplier now has the cheapest tickets for the caps game sitting at just under $200. the 5 seats available in the section we have range in price between $325 - $365.

i tell myself now that in the battle of greed vs wanting to see history, greed still has a chance. selling at those prices would pay back what i paid for 4 games/2 tickets per plus about 100% cash back. but my two oldest sons both expressed that they want to go, so who am i kidding? not only will i not sell, i won't even be in the building myself.

Solution is obvious. Make your kids buy them from you.

The pic where he scored his first goal and aho is next to him celebrating and looking DOWN at him like he's his kid or something is pretty indicative of his height lol

When things were getting chippy and he was getting in there with Stanley from Peg it looked like one of those perspective illusions where Stanley was like 10 ft in front of him, but nope...side by side. He was at like nipple height at best lol

 

[Navin R Slavin]

LOL. Because I want to know what’s wrong — even a simple upper or lower body— with one of my fave players?

Restated differently: because sports is really just A Soap Opera based on weighted random number generation, and because people feel like knowing the weights gives them more insight into how The Soap Opera is gonna turn out.

Is Svech sick? Injured? Crazy? Is there some hidden drama that we don't know about? Has Svech actually been kidnapped and replaced with his twin brother Smech? Tune in to the next episode to find out!

Svech is upset with Tlusty for not trading Rantanen for Boeser.

tough but fair. i like it.

of course, at this point in the conversation the footage of my life would be played at double speed and some yakety-sax knock off would play while the images unfold the story of the kids going to my wife, my wife to me, and then $$$ going back around that circle until the boys place my cash back in my hand...

Woof, glad I gave up my tickets this year

Not that it matters for me since I'm not local right now but did they get rid of the pure hockey tickets? Those always seemed to be really good value. Also, worth noting that these are still absolutely nothing compared to bruins season tickets...

Do you have the 2024-5 pdf? Can’t find it anywhere on the web

Btw: no premium parking in the email I saw. With construction constant through the season parking is going to be a nightmare

Cost of living in Raleigh is significantly lower than Boston as well. (35% lower)

 

[3CanesInTheBox]

At this point, I’ve just prepared myself for Svech to be done for the season. Hope that’s not the case, but I don’t like the direction this is going. So preparing for the worst.

Its one game but yeah, the tight lipped thing. Im guessing concussion but I don't know where I can find the contact video

 

[the halleJOKEL]

when it happened, I thought for sure it was a concussion just from the way they collided and how he seemed a bit dazed going back to the bench

I'm just dramatic as hell--you guys should know that by now
