    I heard the cheap tickets are around 1100 USD.

    I personally would never pay that much to watch a game.

    I would not pay the regular price for tickets to any professional sports 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.

    Was informed by the Hockey Nutter Wife "WE ARE watching the game tomorrow"

    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.

    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.

    The girls high school state tournament has started here.

    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

    You 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?
