aside from a little extra gas money… what other costs are involved over what you would pay for a pens ticket? i’d love to go to this game. ---

I know the NHL is doing a lot to help regain the popularity of the sport…but is this a good date to pick to have a nationally televised game? I mean with all the Bowl games that are going on and a lot of people will be out doing things…dunno just a thought. ---

I mean with all the Bowl games that are going on and a lot of people will be out doing things…dunno just a thought. I think you’re onto something here. Hockey already is failing miserably as far as television coverage goes. I really doubt people are going to switch off the bowl games for this. Which is a shame because I think it’s a really godo game, just not on Jan 1. ---

I really doubt people are going to switch off the bowl games for this. Which is a shame because I think it’s a really godo game, just not on Jan 1. I think that but now thinking more…people up in Canada will be all for this game…typically they dont give a shit about football and Buffalo isnt too far from Canada…but overall I think a better day could have been picked…but I may be missing something on why they picked new years. ---

I got mine! Actually a group of 10 or so of us are going. Got section 106 for $67 per ticket. Other than it most likely being cold as a witches tit, it should be a great new year’s. ---

This seems like it’s going to be such a great game but a few things in my mind are preventing me from going: 1. Freezing cold winter weather that may/may not let you get up 79 2. Large stadium + little puck = hard to see anything 3. Overpriced tickets 4. New Year’s day? wtf 5. I’d rather stay warm, watch it in HD, watch bowl games in pic/pic ---
