    I'm not shedding a tear, though I do want DG to succeed. No reason to cheer for the Wild with Suter out. Looks like I'm left with the Preds, Sharks, Flyers and Bolts. I really want to see Pavs vs Els in the final. I love the fact that St. Louis & Calgary dumped Els and now they are both out. Haha. Interesting fact....Els' Dad was a director for the Red Green show, one of the greatest tv shows of all time.

      How had I never heard this before? Awesome bit of trivia there.

          I understand if someone eats 4 women's tickets that cost a grand total of $20, but to eat 4 tickets that are pushing a hundo for a men's game is just crazy from an economics standpoint. The disposable income of the people in the Madison Metro area is just crazy to whizz a hundo or hundos down the toilet and not really care. There are many ways to try and get them into people's hands who want to go to games.

          It makes me irritated that I'm sitting in the 3rd tier when there are literally 1000's of better seats bought and just left empty. UW needs to come up with a system to move people down into the lower tiers. Makes for a better atmosphere and happier attendees.

          I'd love to see how many games are eaten per ticket holder.

          Maybe they can adjust the ticket prices for season tickets based on how many games worth of tickets you eat; the more you eat, the higher the ticket price.
          Student tickets.

          I'm pretty sure (not 100%) they had some kind of single game option for students this year (in the main part of the student section, not the upper corner reserved seats they sold down the stretch 4 years ago to top it off) so it's harder to estimate, but considering the games that had people (basically dead bodies, but people nonetheless) in the second deck, and other non-holiday games had a few rows not all the way across, that accounts for a lot of unused tickets that were technically sold/distributed.

              I feel the same way including your thoughts on the Wild. By default, I've always been an Avalanche fan, actually going back to the Nordiques. I even have a Quebec Nordiques Forsberg jersey!

              So needless to say, I've been without a playoff team for years.....UNTIL 2018!!! Tough first round for me because I really like the Preds since Smitty is a family friend. I just hope I don't run into his dad in the next couple of weeks.🙊

                      Yeah, too bad. I thought he should've had all 3 of those so far.

                      By the way, if you have Center Ice like I do, it's done for the season. NBC takes over. Watch for games on NBCSN, NBC, CNBC, USA and wait for it.......the GOLF Channel 🏌️ haha! 🤣

                      As usual, the Wild are still on Fox North, and some Wild games might still be on Fox Wisconsin unless the Bucks or Brewers are in the way.

                        Schultz picked up an assist last night for the Pens. Haxs says his gut feeling is to go with Els in game 2. I think he has to.

                          It’s absurd to me how Els never gets a fair break in the playoffs.

                              He didn’t do himself any favors, but neither did his defense yesterday.

                              And he would regularly outplay goalies that took his spot when he was in St Louis and Ottawa.

                                I just read that Kyle Hayton signed an ATO with the Admirals. I'll stop there.
