Jesus what's with the lacklustre crowds at these games, man? What else is there to do in Buffalo?

edit: apparently there's 41,000 tickets sold for this game but there's still thousands trying to get in to the stadium/across the border - lol

This camera angle is so loving awful. I know they're working with what they have but they really couldn't have put a camera tower somewhere closer?

Yeah it's brutal - way too low. The director is trying to make up for the lack of being able to see the near half of the ice by constantly jumping to alternate angles and it's getting really distracting - hard to follow the play

Apparently a truck fire on the QEW caused huge traffic/border delays today and thousands of people coming down from Canada for this game are still stuck/delayed

That said, I just purchased a ticket package to the Victoria games for next year's tournament

Package includes 14 games

- 2 pre-tournament games featuring Canda
- 10 round-robin games (the not-Canada group)
- 2 quarter-final games (the not-Canada games)

Price was $400 per seat in the corner (I got a pair). I won't be going to all the games as I purchased with the intention of divvying up between me and my hockey pool buddies. Definitely not cheap, but not breaking the bank, either. Works out to like ~$28/game on average.
