Didn't Chicago just kick the crap out of the Jets on Saturday?  Expect more of the same.

Yes.  Jets started out really strong, looked really good.  Then early in the 2nd they let in two soft goals and then completely fell apart.

Obviously I'm hoping for a different outcome tonight.  They did switch to their backup goalie on Monday, Big Al Montoya, who looked good, and is getting the start again tonight.  Maybe that makes the difference.

My post was more a comment on how fucking rare it is for the Jets to get on prime time national tv.

Oh, and it's also a taunt to see if I can get CCR to post.

It must be weird to live in a world where you can't always watch your team's game on TV.

Luckily, all 82 of the Habs game are televised nationaly.

With baseball season done, I'm paying more attention to hockey.  I still have not been to a Blue Jackets game.  Looking at taking Tommy up to one in the next couple of weeks.  Tickets are still cheap

I'd love to take Timmy, but the tickets here are anything but cheap.

Looks like for the next few home games I can get them around $15-$20 each for the upper level.  Goes up pretty steeply for lower seats.  Or I could do that Tim Hortons deal where you pay $30 per seat and get a $10 food voucher, hat, and coupon for free Timbits

For shits & giggles I looked at stubhub prices for Jets games.  Ho-Lee-Fuk!  Tickets *start* at $130-$199-- do people really pay that much??

$15-$20 for a ticket

For Jets, stubhub does seem wildly inflated.  Instead what you can do is go through the Jets website and buy tickets from season ticket holder through seat exchange.  If I wanted to go to Friday's game against Nashville it would cost me $57-$94 - but only tix available are upper bowl.  Lower bowl would be more.

Edit: ah - found lower bowl.  Going for $140-$190 per ticket.

Plus, Nationwide arena doesn't smell like stale Canadians.

Now look for Toronto games.

Lulz.  With fees that $57 ticket would actually cost me $76 per seat.

hey.  It usually costs less for our group to drive up to Ottawa to see a game than see the Habs lose in all their glory.
I figure driving to Tampa Bay wouldn't cost much more than a trip to Montreal either.

Supposedly, it can be cheaper to fly to, say, Phoenix to see the Jets, than to see them in Winnipeg, even with the cost of the airfare.

If the Nordiques ever get back, I'll try to form a group to buy season tickets.  10 people, 4 games each, probably gonna be reasonable.
So long as they don't have Celine Dion or Arianne Moffat to sing the National anthems every game, I'll be allright.

I don't even doubt it.  But Phoenix does not sound like an attractive place to visit.  One day, I'll visit California and see the Ducks or the Kings live, hopefully, in one of their good years.
