Leonard Zelig Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 (edited) I am not much of a hockey fan. I am getting some hockey tickets for a friend as a gift and I want to get some opinions on where people would prefer to sit. Would you rather sit in the second row rinkside in a corner or center ice about 12 row back? His team would defend twice on the corner side.

Just high enough so the players don't block your view of the rest of the ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rock, is that club level pretty much the same across all stadiums? I saw that they were priced as high as closer seats and I wasn't sure what it was all about. This is for a Colorado Avalanche game if that matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GGajewski18 Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Hawks on the verge of acquiring Nail Yakupov from the Oilers. Supposedly no roster players from the Hawks end are involved and money retained from EDM part is likely. Love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An organization like the Hawks, with a few Russians on top lines sound like a great change of scenery for a guy like Yakupov. Can't hurt. Hearing all this hype about Forsling, and with signing Campbell and Kempny, the blue line might not be so bad this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Essentially a one line team again barring how the kids play. I still would've split up Panarin and Kane to give them better balance, but I don't blame Q for knowing what works best at the start of the year and maybe tinker with it later on. In other news, Crosby diagnosed with a concussion. Brutal news for Pittsburgh and the NHL. Edited October 10, 2016 by SoxAce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 QUOTE (Tony @ Oct 10, 2016 -> 01:04 PM) They are really, really thin up front. I think the back end should be a strength for this team, the Campbell addition should make a big impact, but goals may be hard to come by. Kane needs to have a repeat season, Toews needs to step it up, Hossa needs to find that fountain of youth and Panarin needs to build off of his rookie season. That seems like it's asking a alot. Panarin and Kane better have their heads on a swivel. Either one has a major injury and Hawks might not make the playoffs. It's really difficult to have a 3rd line center without a scoring touch.

SoxAce Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Johnny Gaudreau resigns in Calgary for 6 years 6.75 million per year. Should impact Panarin signing since Gaudreau is the better player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With as many kids as we have on this roster, this isn't really an option this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
