Bmwolf21 Posted January 3, 2011 Report Posted January 3, 2011 Ladies and Gentlemen.......prepare for the Karma Wheel to spin in direct payback for the Great Raleigh Rape & Pillage by Sabres fans in '06. All I know is there's probably many a Carolinian (is that the term?) who still has PTSD flashbacks from the Great Raleigh Rape & Pillage.
RR61 Posted January 3, 2011 Report Posted January 3, 2011 Ortio is standing on his head tonight for the Fins.
bunomatic Posted January 3, 2011 Report Posted January 3, 2011 Ortio is standing on his head tonight for the Fins. What is the score?
darksabre Posted January 3, 2011 Report Posted January 3, 2011 What is the score? Heh, about that... Kuznetsov went nuts for Russia. What a comeback. And great hockey.
Two or less Posted January 3, 2011 Report Posted January 3, 2011 What is the score? 4-3 Russia in OT.
Two or less Posted January 3, 2011 Report Posted January 3, 2011 Heh, about that... Kuznetsov went nuts for Russia. What a comeback. And great hockey. Yeah, you're not kidding. He just totally took the game over in a way i honestly didn't think it was possible in such a team sport, which that little time left. And that move he made on that assist when he couldn't beat the goalie, was absolutely ridiculous. Russia/Sweden re-match should be good, the first time it got really gritty. And of course Canada/USA should be an unbelievable game.
millbank Posted January 3, 2011 Report Posted January 3, 2011 Toronto radio station fan590 says 2000 tickets still available for tonight's game between Canada - U.S.A , available online at Championship site.... my goodness are they ever expensive..at least this site tickets
wjag Posted January 3, 2011 Report Posted January 3, 2011 You can see the Russians for a song, but USA - Canada is ridiculous. I don't like hockey that much.
Patty16 Posted January 3, 2011 Report Posted January 3, 2011 $100 on stubhub, many around that price.
LabattBlue Posted January 3, 2011 Report Posted January 3, 2011 I'd like to know who set the pricing for the tournament. Was is just another money grab by Quinn hoping to capture the Canadian fever for the tournament or were the prices set by the IIHF/HockeyUSA?
jdp1 Posted January 3, 2011 Report Posted January 3, 2011 I believe the team was just paid a flat fee to host. It's my understanding that all the revenue goes to the federations, so I assume they set the price.
rickshaw Posted January 3, 2011 Report Posted January 3, 2011 Ya thats what I was thinking when I said 'or maybe not'. That crowd being a good part Canadian might help the U.S. if they go into a us against the world kind of mentality. And they can take the crowd right out of it if they exploit the Canadian goaltending early. Should be a great game. I just hope the Canadian fans at the game aren't idiots about things. I want this to be about the hockey and the spirit of sport. No doubt there will be some over zealous fans there that don't know better and let their emotions get the better of them. There always is. Yep, from all countries. Hope it's a good game and the good guys win!
carpandean Posted January 3, 2011 Report Posted January 3, 2011 Hope it's a good game and the good guys win! This is that moment that only exists in sports - where the coach gives a speech on the jumbotrom to get the hometown fans fired up! We're the bad guys and they're the good guys, and I'll be damned if we let the good guys win! Uh, we're the good guys and they're the bad guys...
Ghost of Dwight Drane Posted January 3, 2011 Report Posted January 3, 2011 I believe the team was just paid a flat fee to host. It's my understanding that all the revenue goes to the federations, so I assume they set the price. ??? There were promotions all around on this run by the Sabres. Tickets were half price a few days ago until it was a Canada/USA possibility.
Derrico Posted January 3, 2011 Report Posted January 3, 2011 LET'S GO BUFFAL.......I mean Let's Go Canada!
wjag Posted January 3, 2011 Report Posted January 3, 2011 LET'S GO BUFFAL.......I mean Let's Go Canada! Hey, take that chit back over the Peace Bridge! :w00t: We're still smarting from the Crosby OT goal.. :ph34r: :pirate:

CallawaySabres Posted January 3, 2011 Report Posted January 3, 2011 Just got the 100 level tix - bring on the atmosphere!
Eleven Posted January 3, 2011 Author Report Posted January 3, 2011 Just got the 100 level tix - bring on the atmosphere! Dude, you have GOT to wear as much USA paraphernalia as possible. Drape yourself in several flags. Face-paint. Uncle Sam hat. Hell, a full-blown Captain America costume if you can find one.
Two or less Posted January 3, 2011 Report Posted January 3, 2011 I would trade my gold medal ticket to get a ticket for tonight. No chance of that happening, though. Cheer loud and proud for the Red, White and Blue. GO STRIPES!!!!
That Aud Smell Posted January 3, 2011 Report Posted January 3, 2011 Just got the 100 level tix - bring on the atmosphere! i'm in the balcony, front row between the center and blue lines. Dude, you have GOT to wear as much USA paraphernalia as possible. Drape yourself in several flags. Face-paint. Uncle Sam hat. Hell, a full-blown Captain America costume if you can find one. this is my only regret. i had a busy calendar for work today and will go straight from my last appointment to the arena ... dressed in my office slacks, sensible button down, and loafers. /starts concocting a vague plan.
R_Dudley Posted January 3, 2011 Report Posted January 3, 2011 [/b] Yep, from all countries. Hope it's a good game and the good guys win! If of course by Good guy's you mean USA, USA, USA which I know is not the case you, you, Canadian hooser you. ;) Oh but thanks for the great beers and the Labatt blue girls. This is that moment that only exists in sports - where the coach gives a speech on the jumbotrom to get the hometown fans fired up! We're the bad guys and they're the good guys, and I'll be damned if we let the good guys win! Uh, we're the good guys and they're the bad guys. Absolutely, dont really care whether they consider us good or bad just that USA Hockey Prevails.. :beer: i'm in the balcony, front row between the center and blue lines. this is my only regret. i had a busy calendar for work today and will go straight from my last appointment to the arena ... dressed in my office slacks, sensible button down, and loafers. /starts concocting a vague plan. Got a home depot on the way, maybe you can find some off season 4th of july stuff or at least an American flag.
thesportsbuff Posted January 3, 2011 Report Posted January 3, 2011 Wow Pierre McGuire has been crying like a little bitch the WHOLE game about a waived off icing call that resulted in a goal.
Two or less Posted January 3, 2011 Report Posted January 3, 2011 After a crazy end to the 3rd, Russia and Sweden is going into over-time...
carpandean Posted January 3, 2011 Report Posted January 3, 2011 Russia wins it in a shootout. So, who shall they play?
