All-Purpose Hockey Thread II

Near-capacity, JR, at least according to the story below. I haven't been able to attend a game this year, but that's work-related and not necessarily because I can't acquire a ticket. FSN South broadcasts tend to include plenty of house ads saying that tickets are available.

My guess would be that weekend games and some opponents (Philly and Jersey in particular) are drawing near sellouts. But the local FM radio station is still pulling the tickets for $10.29 promo similar to last year. It's how I made four regular-season games last year - parking included - for under $20 each.

 

Hell, parking alone at the ACC is $25.00

 

If you don't mind a short walk, you can park free near the RBC Center.

 

Park at Fairgrounds?

 

No, for a few games I have parked at the high school parking lot across the street. When I went to a playoff game, they blocked it off, so I parked on a side street down from the school near the restaurant.

 

Poor Mo: Sundin out up to six weeks.

Maybe it's been updated since you posted this, but the story now says 3-4 weeks.

 

Ok, and I heard Wellwood's centring the first line with Poni and ANTROPOV. Yikes.

 

Tucker beat the hell out of Patrick Eaves, the cheap-shotting little rat that he is.

Rule 1: If you're going around throwing cheapshots, be prepared to drop the gloves.

 

Well, hb, Chris Neill started yapping at Tucker on the opening face-off the next game.

Tucker wouldn't have anything to do with the farm boy from South Western Ontario and hid under the kitchen table for the rest of the game. I can't stand Tucker--he's a gutless diving little puke.

They didn't call him Sideshow Bob for nothing.

 

Two Saturdays ago, Eaves threw a dirty elbow at Boston's Marc Savard, after Savard cleared the puck out of the Bruins' zone. Savard was down on the ice for two minutes, while Eaves skated away from Glen Murray, worried that Murray would pound him into submission.

Did you hear what Tucker told Neil? "I'm a goal-scorer." That's one of the most laughable statements uttered in a long time.

Just as Eaves deserved his beating, Tucker deserved one, too.

 

Did anyone see JFJ going on about the greatness of Tucker on OTR yesterday? It was sickening. I almost feel sorry for the Leafs fans to be stuck with Tucker.
