Went to my first NHL game!
« on: December 10, 2007, 11:47:39 PM »
And my god was it the sweetest thing since going to an NBA game. Watching it on TV is definately not the way to go. We had $120 seats about 9 rows up (I think?) almost centre ice. I'm spoiled now, I don't want to get any other ticket if I go next time. My Ford dealer gets suite tickets and these tickets we used. So, I plan on going again.

I went to this game at the American Airlines Center: http://scores.espn.go.com/nhl/recap?gameId=271210009

Man, if you only knew how awsome it was for those of you who haven't ever seen a live hockey game. Any casual fan NEEDS to go see at least one game in their lifetime. I'm itching to go back!

Oh, and it also helps that we won and there was lots of scoring!  I want to go see a playoff game now, since playoff hockey is generally considered to be some of the best sporting events you can see in person.

I played hockey for two years, and I know how exciting it can be. That's why I try to watch the Wild whenever I can. Chances are, I won't be able to see them in person any time in the near future, so I'll settle for what little TV time I get.

The chase for Lord Stanley's cup is by and large the best playoff race of the four sports. After that it's the NFL, then I'm not sure between MLB and the NBA. NBA playoffs are far too long, and MLB doesn't have enough drama to it.

If you get a chance to see a playoff game, then you will be greatly impressed. :happy:

We don't have NHL here in Portland. Instead, we have the Portland Winterhawks (WHL). I've been to a Winterhawks game, though I wasn't near front row or anything. Hockey is probably my favorite sport to go watch... even more than basketball; Portland has a NBA team, but they've been blowing chunks for years, so it's not as interesting to watch anymore.

On a side note, it appears the Winterhawks ripped off their logo straight from the Chicago Blackhawks.

Oh, trust me I want to see a playoff game now.  Playoff hockey is really when I start watching it on TV...and even then its exciting.  The NBA playoffs to me are good and I enjoy them, so I can't complain.  The NBA is the only sport other than the NFL that you can watch at home and not miss much.  Yes, its better to see an NBA game in person--but on TV it isn't so bad.  Hockey on the other hand just doesn't do justice on TV.
