I heard the cheap tickets are around 1100 USD.
I personally would never pay that much to watch a game.

It certainly is an expensive outing. We go to Lightning games every once in a while but mostly preseason games. It's the same teams, same venue, same overpriced vending and same electric atmosphere but a fraction of the price.
We also go to minor league games which are a LOT cheaper. Nowhere near as fast paced or high adrenaline but still pretty fun. We just went last weekend and good seats were $50, spectacular seats were $115. Even pregame tickets to Lightning games are slightly north of that.
As far as these events go? Too rich for my blood. If I had disposable income I might for an extravagent splurge but even then not on any regular basis. I enjoy it just fine from my couch.Iron by iron is sharpened, And a man sharpens the face of his friend. PR 27:17

Oh, EVERYONE in my house is watching. Everyone I have talked to is watching, even people who aren't fans. All this smack talk by the players also is like pouring gasoline on a bon fire. It has an almost WWE air to it.

To all you fans on both sides of the border, good luck to your team. Ought to be a game to tell your grandkids about.

I decided to see about watching it but I don't get ESPN.
Oh well I am sure I will hear about it and see highlights tomorrow.

So track back to how this series was setup
Drove the wife to work yesterday so we only had one car at the Bar hop last night
In line at the Coffeeshop she says "So they both won a game, why is Canada the "Winner"
I gave her the line I heard about nothing counts before the Final game yada yada
Wife "That is just stupid"
I am not the only one hehehehe"No amount of money spent on a Stone can ever replace the value of the time it takes learning to use it properly"

Thanked: 3228You would think all involved would have agreed to the series format and found it comprehensible before play began. Would there be as much made of the formatting of the tournament if the US had won?
