I've seen articles about him not leaving the crease during TV timeouts, and not moving when the ice crews come through wanting to clear it out, wouldn't shock me if it were true and it wouldn't shock me if their were some understanding for home games.

Not saying it's true, or that it matters, because I don't think it does, or even that it happens now (see the date), just what i've read.

I had never really given it a thought until reading it but I can assure that if we are seeing it then that means that the team is as well and you can count on an extra slick bunch of nitrogen/water on both goalies redlines. Harder Ice will dull diving hanks skates when he tries to scratch it up.
 
Ultimately, I feel a 3-1 series is exactly where it should be right now. I can't honestly say the Rangers deserved to be swept, they probably should have had one of the two first games, between both going to OT and the questionable goalie interference call. Game 3 I feel the Kings earned the win. Shot totals aside, the Rangers failed to convert on 6 power plays and were for the most part outplayed 5 on 5, that's gonna be a loss for them more often than not. Game 4 the Kings dominated while the Rangers looked like traffic cones. So to my admittedly homer eyes a 3-1 series is fair and may the best team win from here on out.

Can a goalie decline, or prevent an ice crew from cleaning a crease in order to give him an advantage like last night?
 
Guys, please get this done ASAP!
We are all waiting for the Isles to announce they are sold and Potvin is the director of hockey operations... we just need the SCF to be over first. Please end it!

I'm a little late to the party on this question, but I was at Staples for Game 2 and they showed a child with Downs multiple times on the video board and the arena went bananas each time. Is he someone that is at every game or was it just a random thing? I was curious during the game and the Kings fan next to me didn't know

It's Sutter's son, Chris.

No.

He has to leave the ice in between periods so in the playoffs he can't even stand there during the OT breaks if he wanted to.

In the end he hasn't any say or least wouldn't at any visitors rink. I could see MSG doing something special for him in how they set things up or when/where they place the most liquid but that's about it.
 
Looks like no lineup changes for NY tomorrow (as expected.

@mayorNHL: "@westcoasthky: Justin Williams, "puck luck is for cop outs"" With that quote, Williams may have just done enough to top Conn Smythe race.
 
Some clever headlines by the NY papers.

Just sold my center seat for $1,394. Here is how StubHub ****ed me (hard):

Your price $1300.93
Quantity x 1
Total sale $1300.93
Commission - $195.14

Your payment $1105.79

See how my price is about $93 less than the sales price? That's the "no hidden fee" to the seller that they are so proud of. Seems pretty hidden to me.

Then, of course, they charge me 15%, so you see my net.

I'm not complaining, mind you. There is no better way to sell a ticket. It's just an illustrative point on how much StubHub is taking for their share. It works out to a nice 20%.

And besides, I now get to go to the game essentially for free. If I didn't have that extra center seat...guess I will keep it for next season.

I think their big thing now is "the price you see is the price you pay" which, in the end, doesn't mean ****. Instead of having the listed price be what the actual sales price was and then tacking on all the fees at checkout, they simply have all the fees already in place so you aren't "shocked" by fees at checkout.

I think that the sellers are still just eating 15% of each ticket, it's just that now you get to be all excited when you see the listed prices before remembering that the price you actually sell it for is going to be 5% or so less than what is listed bfore they take their 15% as well. Bottom line is they make a killing.

A place like Barry's Tickets that says "no fees" is simply because they buy their tickets at a lower price and then simply jack up the cost. Was offered $145 less a piece than what someone bought mine for on StubHub by them and I priced it to move.

Kind of surprised that I only made $90 more a peice on this pair than I did for a single to Game 2. I mean...The Cup is in the building!

… Yup. Don't forget to mention that the Rangers know how to come back from being down 3-1 in a series. We haven't been up 3-0 in a series in two years, a little different for us. If LA loses at home Friday, the Rangers have all the momentum in the world. Like I said in my previous post, momentum is a scary thing.

I was thinking today that if it goes to game 6 New York would have all the pressure to win at home and not have it go to game 7 (pressure on L.A.) There's pressure on L.A. and they will play it as a must win - this team always plays better when backs against the wall. I hope Sutter is saying guys its a must win lets take care of business.
 
Those shots from the paper are beautiful.

And man just when I think I can't mancrush on Justin Williams any harder...

Seats are really moving slowly on StubHub today. When I got up this morning, there were like 1,900 seats available. Then they went up to about 2,100 available. Now they are down to about 1,700 available. The prices are too high.

Mine sold pretty fast this morning at $1,301. I just made sure it was lowest in my section (111). One of the tickets I had in section 112 sold for $1,205. But then the second didn't sell until I lowered all the way down to about $850. The same seat in 111 I couldn't even sell for game 1 at a price of $752.

There is no rhyme or reason to this ****. There really isn't. Other than the fact that game 1 was on a Wednesday (which could mean a lot), I still sold two seats in 112 for about $900 each that day, even though I ate the center seat.

On Saturday, I sold them all out at varying prices.

But I am attending tomorrow's game in section 112. I want to be close to the ice if we have a chance to celebrate.
 
There was an auction was put up last night at around 11PM, ending in 24 hours, with the starting bid set at .99 cents for two tickets in the 300s on the Kings shoot twice end. I figure, great, I'll keep my eye on it and bid in the last minute, only to see the auction is already at $1,080. Simply ridiculous. Dummies bidding aggressively many hours before the auction ends, and they're all eBay noobs.

Makes me think about investing in season tickets so I don't have to go through a secondary market.

I've been thinking about doing this for awhile, since I've been priced out of single season seats since 2011.

I actually looked into it last year but all the upperdeck was gone and I couldn't afford the lower bowl for a season.

kinda sucks that I've been a fan since the early 80s and was able to go to plenty of games when they sucked but now with the teams success I'm SOL, I guess that's a trade off that I'm willing to make to see the team lift the Cup in my lifetime.
 
I have to go to this game, I think I may just sit outside staples refreshing stubhub right before the sale cut off time at 5:30 to try to get any deal for the lower bowl. I don't think any game has completely sold out on stubhub ever?

How would you print the tickets? Or would they scan directly from your smartphone?
