I'll just throw it out there - if ticket prices are reasonable would you want to go Neil-o?

I'd go.  I've never been to an NHL game before.

Really?  As in ever?

I've probably attended <10 lifetime so I'm hardly a huge hockey nut but I saw a handful of Jets 1.0 games in Winnipeg, I went to a couple in Calgary (in the firm luxury box).  Hell I saw a Jets vs Oilers in Edmonton game in the early 80s when my dad took us.  That was the last time I was in that building too.

So I have my doubts the game will even happen, but lets keep it in mind.  Could be fun.

Never ever.  I guess I just never made an effort since I moved here nine or ten years ago.

[Grey Fox]

Have you been to minor leagues hockey games?

[Barrister]

Never ever.  I guess I just never made an effort since I moved here nine or ten years ago.

I guess that makes sense.  Until this last year I don't think I had ever paid for a ticket - they were all freebies / my dad taking me.

And actually since i got those tickets for Christmas I guess I have still never paid for a ticket.

Neil - I couldn't imagine going to 41 games a year, but a NHL hockey game is a fun (and expensive!) night out.  They know how to put on a show, everyone's cheering (or in my case, ribbing me for wearing opposition colours) and having a good time.

[Barrister]

Schedule's out.  Team is playing in Phoenix by the way.

I really think Quebec is out for next season.

There will be a team in Seattle before Quebec.

There will be a team in Seattle before Quebec.

NBA? 'course.

Some news.
text in french

- for a referendum to occur, the opponents to the deal need 1862 signatures by July 8th
- if there's a referendum on the subject, it will be held in November
- Jamison still does not have the money

So, by July 8th, we should know a little more.

My guess is either way, the NHL will keep&manage the team one more year in Glendale.

And then move to Seattle.

[Strix]

Quebec Devils!

[PRC]

Would they go back to the name Nordiques... or go with something new?

[katmai]

Seattle Nordiques makes no sense Whap
