You should look at season ticket packages. With Columbus you can get a quarter season and get some benefit to it. Even at full here you can pay monthly and it's not that expensive for nose bleeds. Like we only pay $150 a month to go to every game. Sadly that $150 a month is about the price of a Leafs nose bleed ticket lol Yeah, we get Toronto fans that road trip here because it's only 6 hours and cheaper to see a game. |

Buffalo survives in their location solley based on being in a division with Toronto. Being only a couple of hours away from Toronto and tickets being a fraction of what it would be to see the same two teams play in Toronto a vast majority of Leafs fans make the Q.E.W. trip to watch the team play in Buffalo. Those games combined with Montreal coming to town tend to be among Buffalo's higher attendance games. I also feel that Detroit is also benefiting from being in Toronto's division again. Same goes for Florida and Tampa Bay, those two teams tend to draw in the Canadian Snowbirds whenever the Leafs come thru town. I have a feeling in a few years after the hype dies down a bit that Vegas could end up being the same way as the above mentioned cities when it comes to Toronto. It may end up being cheaper flying into Vegas for a Leafs game and back then actually seeing the team play in Toronto. |

Golden Knights 5, Sabres 4 in overtime!
Buffalo made one hell of a comeback tonight by rallying from a 4-1 deficit in the Third Period including a heart breaking goal #4 to tie the score with just 8 seconds left in the game.
But in their first-ever overtime game, my Golden Knights prevailed by scoring in sudden death and won the game 5-4!
I had standing room, but I could see the entire rink perfectly- and in Las Vegas in standing room they give you free beer and free food all game long. I had 5 free Bud Lights and a free nasty IPA. For dinner I had free chicken nachos and free Pink's hot dogs along with a free chocolate pretzel for desert. The only money I spent the entire game was $6 (6 $1 tips for my bartender who poured my free 6 beers.)
Dean Ambrose was actually there in standing room tonight too. There is a place in standing room called The Castle and each night the Golden Knights bring in someone to bang the drums at the start of the game and tonight that person was Ambrose, but unfortunately I did not get to meet him.
Overall however I have lived in Las Vegas for 18 years and seeing the NHL live on The Strip tonight was one of my favorite things I have ever done here period! Looking forward to going to my second game on Saturday night against St. Louis!
I need to get some sleep, I will probably sleep all night long with a smile on my face.
Go Knights Go!

Sounds like a blast and what a game too! Glad you had a blast and the Knights got the W! Maybe you are their good lick charm.

I'm sure most didn't think the Knights would be in first place while Don La Greca talks about how bad the New York Rangers and Montreal Canadiens are doing, plus the Sabres are doing badly too. Anyway, it sounds like the Knights are doing cool things at their Arena for the fans...

You could kind of see Montreal doing badly coming. Same with Buffalo. New York to a lesser degree but they made the team worse in the offseason. Plus they need Hank to do it all and he isn't the elite goalie he was.

Golden Knights 3, Blues 2 in overtime!for the second time this week I saw my Golden Knights win in overtime at T Mobile Arena! defeating the St. Louis Blues is a quality win Golden Knights win again! Golden Knights win again! Golden Knights win again! Golden Knights win again! when the game ended I went to the team store to pick up some more Golden Knight merchandise, I bought a beer mug and a pennant for my classroom, I wanted to buy a cat collar for my cat but they did not have it in stock- however they did have a Golden Knights cat jersey they wanted me to buy but I told them no. afterward I walked up the Strip and went to the Taco Bell Cantina for dinner and then to the Paris for drinks before getting a cab for the ride home where I am now. It is so cool having and seeing a local NHL team play here on the Strip! St.Louis had a good contingency of Blues fans wearing their jerseys in attendance tonight as did Buffalo earlier this week. Sinclair Promotions do you think you might travel here to see Toronto take on my Golden Knights? maddog1981 do you think you might travel here to see Columbus play my Golden Knights? Golden Knights are now 6-1! I need to get some sleep. The last 8 nights for me have included seeing Bob Dylan at the Cosmopolitan, The Interrupter at the Hard Rock, PWG in Reseda, 2 Golden Knights games (both overtime victories) at T-Mobile Arena. I am running on fumes lol.

On the Sabres broadcast for that game they said there was a good amount of Sabres fans at the game and I saw a few on the TV screen. I know they've said having a team in Vegas is a good place for fans to travel to and watch the visiting team play. What a good start for your team, it is good to see... |

I expect there will be a good number of opposing fans at all the games and I can definitely understand the appeal of seeing your team play on the road on the Strip in Las Vegas. My cousin in Idaho who used to live in Minnesota is making his first trip to Las Vegas in March to go with me to the Wild/Golden Knights game. |

We've talked about the possibility. I know there are a lot of Blue Jackets fans planning to make the trip to Vegas for that game.
