So a couple of weeks ago, a friend of my dh's had 4 on the floor tickets to the Duck's game, he invited my dh and my twins (13 year olds).  I wasn't feeling well, otherwise I would have wrestled one of my boys for his ticket.  $102.00 per ticket, I'm not willing to pay.

Before they trot off, they know nothing of the game.  And I mean nothing  ... not even how many periods there are, minutes in each period, icing, hat trick, etc.  I gave them a quick run down, and was so completely jealous as I watched them walk out the door.  Luckily for them, it was a high scoring game, Ducks lost 5-3 (IIRC), with 2 Ducks goals being taken away.  

Right on the ice at the center line!  

That is hillarious! Reminds me of a few years ago, Bettman had a brilliant idea to use a glow puck to attract the non fan. That was the most annoying thing ever.

Mustang, we have a series now. Was not expecting us to be right back in it! Good luck to everyone's teams!

I'll never forget the day Wayne Gretsky got traded to LA

The good thing is there will be a game 6! Good for both teams.

Chicago eliminates St Louie in 6 games, and moves on to play the winner of Minnesota-Colorado series. That series is 3-2 for Colorado. The Chicago Blackhawks are the defending SC winners. We need them gone! Sorry Hawk fans

Anaheim Ducks and Dallas Stars game 6 tonight. This is a late game for me, I'm not going to be able to watch it all. I will watch some of it so I can see Saku Koivu with the Ducks, former Canadien Captain, who amazingly beat cancer and came back. During his first game back in Montreal after beating cancer, the fans gave him an 8 minute standing ovation. He will always be one of my top favourite players, I hardly get to see those games because of the time difference.

Good luck to all this week!

Game 7's tonight!!  :shocked!: *passes out paper bags* Good luck to everyone's teams!

Breathe breathe! I have a love hate relationship with game 7's!!! I'll need the paperbags tomorrow night, we start game one against the big bad Bruins!  
:shocked!:

Minnesota Colorado are in game 7 tonight too!

Good luck everyone! 

Good luck also to everyone. I am not sure I'm going to watch tonight's game 7, still debating. It would be a loss of epic proportions, and I don't know if my heart can take it. I think I just want to hear the final score. And... please no overtime game 7!!!

I don't blame you. It's so hard to watch.

Rangers move on! Wild vs Avalanche Game 7 starts now!

   I need a little black ribbon over my Avi that I'm in mourning. Congrats Linds911, your team deserved it and wanted it more. Good luck against the Ducks.

I feel your pain Mustang

Congrats Linds! Good luck the rest of the way!

Montreal blew a 2-0 lead against the Bruins, got it back 3-2 only to loose it again late in the 3rd 3-3 tied game. OT coming up. This is only game one, I won't be able to get through game one, let alone 4 games!  :shocked!: 

ETA: Way past my bed time. 2nd OT coming up.

Sorry girl!   I was a little nervous when they kept getting all those penalties in the 2nd period but still can't believe they pulled it off! Thanks, another tough series to come though.

Wow with the way Montreal/Bruins 1st game went, that series is going to be crazy! Gotta love playoff hockey!

Luckily the right team scored around the 7min mark in double OT. What a game. I was watching through my fingers

What a comeback for L.A. Good luck the rest of the way Linds!

Another 2-0 lead blown away! Apparently this has happened 17 times in the playoffs. So I suppose we want to be down 2-0 from now on. At least the series is tied 1-1 going back to Montreal. My son got tickets for Tuesday's game.

I get to watch LA shortly, it's an early game! Go Kings!

omg! LA ties with 7 seconds left in the 3rd! I can't take these late night OTs!!

Awesome game! 9 th time this year in the playoffs, tie game late in the 3rd.
