There's more Habs fan at Buffalo than Sabres fan... its just crazy how many cross the borders for them.
In Montreal tickets were sold out for the entire season in a couple of days before the season started, so most fans will drive to boston, ottawack or Buffalo to check a game. |

habs & leafs live on saturday night :)
NASN 2: Montreal v Toronto - Live NHL
Saturday, 29 March 12:00am
sadly, nasn2 begins at midnight our time, but with north america being in dst, we'll miss the 1st period, happened the other night with toronto at the sens. Still any hockey > no hockey.
Thurs night too, Ovechkin & the caps play :D |
no NASN2 in Germany, just NASNEUROPE and we'll get March Madness.
so I'll have to watch it over ESPN360. |

I noticed that for the leafs last weekend at ottawa, the sens arena was full of people booing alfredsson and cheering the leafs, it was such a weird thing to see, but cool also. I think ticketing could be better maybe. say u have 20'000 seats. sell only 18'000 season tickets, then 2000 seperate fans each week, 41 regulation home matches, that means 82'000 more people get the chance to see the team. make any sense?
Rockabye, didn't realise that mate. I spose it's cos we have it from setanta who show nasn2 on setanta ireland from midnight. |

It's definitely much more than that since many of the season ticket holders sell their tickets via 3rd party scalpers or ticket exchange sites. |

yes it makes sense.
The habs I believe leave 500 tickets for every game to be bought just before the game... total capacity is 21xxx, with everything sold out months before the season start.
My brother has 6 season tickets!! Its gold, since he easily triple his money. |

hopefully we'll do good, i know we are 8-0 (11w straight) against them this season, but Julien is a very good coach. |

I'm so glad I went to the game!! We scored some tickets face value ($111 each) off a season ticket holder 4 rows behind the Buffalo bench. I had a quick chat with Thibault and asked him if he misses playing in Montreal lol.
They played like crap in the first two periods but Price is the real deal and kept us in it until the rust wore off. What a comeback...it was just surreal. The place was half full of Montreal fans too. I don't think Buffalo is gonna make it...I don't have anything against the Sabres but a lot of their fans are morons. I've never heard so much from a team's fans for wearing an opposing jersey as I have in Buffalo the last 15 years.:rolleyes:
But whatever, great game, back in first. I can feel a long run this year for Montreal if they keep it up! |
