i took the familly to a game two years ago and was amazed at how expensive it was.  but all hockey games are like that.  hawks tickets face value are ridiculously expensive.

I thought about going tonight which is why I was looking. But I can't justify $90 after fees on nosebleed seats to get in the door, when I know I'll spend at least another $30 in the building on beer. And that's for second-market tickets. Available tickets directly from the Wings are even more, which is why they'll go unsold.

It seems like there is an economic fault in their model, but I'm not smart enough to know for sure.

I'd rather go to the local watering hole, spend less than half that, have a better view of the game, and be able to leave if it goes south.... and so I will.

Geesh. Biggest game in years and come out limping.  3 Habs shots, 2 Habs goals. 2-0. 

[lordstanley]

2-1. Tonight could be a rollercoaster of emotions 

[slothfacekilla]

Chiarot has looked good tonight so far

[lordstanley]

Isles, Caps and Pens all taking care of business so far, all leading at the 1st intermission. Wings? Not exactly. Trail 2-1. 40 minutes to save their season.

[lordstanley]

Habs have been all over the Wings this period. Lyon held the fort awhile. 3-1. 

[Sports_Freak]

Must score on this PP.

[lordstanley]

Terrible turnover by Edvinsson. Wings were pressing. 4-1. 

[lordstanley]

Not dead yet. 4-2. 

[MichiganCardinal]

Just bad hockey.

Lyon made some big saves early in the 2nd, and the Wings are making turnovers especially on the 4th goal. But 4 goals on 13 shots doesn't cut it.

The octopus on the ice when you're in the midst of losing a must win home game against an inferior opponent...stop...just stop

WAS IT OVER WHEN THE GERMANS BOMBED PEARL HARBOR

Wings finally playing with urgency but only 6 minutes to go and still down a goal.

You know they’re at the bar saying they spurred the comeback.
