Bruins Canadiens tickets

As far as historic significance, the Boston Bruins vs the Montreal Canadiens is likely the most important of the NHL post-season. Players on these teams really don't like each other so its should make for some fun hockey games. These two teams have faced off in some of the biggest NHL post-season games ever, so the 2009 playoffs should be more of the same action. Expect Beantown to snatch up tons of Bruins tickets, because that town does like its hockey. You can expect a similar devouring of Canadiens tickets in Quebec, as they like hockey perhaps even more than Boston. This is a historic rivalry that is going to make Bruins Canadiens tickets some of the hottest of the year. The Boston Bruins are meeting the Montreal Canadiens in the post-season for the fourth time in seven years. Recent history gives the Canadiens an edge, as they won the Bruins-Canadiens series in 2002, 2004 and 2008. In terms of all time, the Canadiens have won 24 of 31 playoff series against Boston. But even though history may be on the side of the Habs, the Bruins have this season going for them. They have been a strong-scoring team all season, and won five of the six games played against the Habs. The Bruins have been the second-best scoring team in NHL, and the players on the Bruins are bigger and more physical. The Canadiens will definitely have their hands full going up against this team. Mark Recchi has been playing very well, and we all know what Zdeno Chara can do. Both these teams are solid, so its going to be a great game for anyone with playoff tickets for these games.

Capitals Rangers tickets

Washington Capitals vs New York Rangers is going to be a fun NHL playoff series to watch, as hockey fans will get to see another matchup in the enduring argument between offense vs defense.

Led by Alex Ovechkin, the Capitals are going to be put an awful lot of pressure on the Rangers, but this team has shown it can hang with anyone, at least defensively. The Capitals are third in goals scored per game, but they are also one of the easier teams to score against. You know that Alex Ovechkin is eager to make it to the Stanley Cup. And the superstar will definitely have tons fans looking for Capitals playoff tickets. But the Rangers play in new york, perhaps the biggest market in the world, so you know that Rangers tickets are going to be big as well. Goalie Jose Theodore has performed well in the playoffs in the past, Montreal in '02 and '04 with Colorado. This young Washington team doesn't have much Stanley Cup playoffs experience, but neither do the Rangers.

2007 Stanley Cup Finals recap:

When the Red Wings from Hockeytown were 3-1 ahead in the Stanley Cup Finals and Red Wings Penguins tickets were what hockey fans lived for, we had the wonderful world of NHL hockey at our feet. By Game 3, the Penguins had yet to register on the scoreboard, going down 4-0 and 3-0 respectively in the first two games of the 2008 series. Red Wings tickets were being hunted high and low by Hockeytown's legions of crazy ice fans, and Penguins tickets weren't too far behind. There were comments from Penguins Coach Michel Therrien about Detroit's tactics. Therrien speculated that the Red Wings' tendency to clog the midfield and create a baffle for attacking opponents constituted "obstruction", and Penguins Captain Sidney Crosby seemed to agree. This match-up definitely lived up to the hype. The Red Wings up 2-0 in the series and seriously believing they might sweep this Stanley Cup without conceding a single goal, were stunned when the Penguins came out 3-2 winners in Game 3. The series was now 2-1. Game 4 was another victory for the Red Wings, and the crowd at Joe Louis Arena were ready to celebrate when they bought Red Wings tickets for Game 5. But this has been no ordinary Stanley Cup; the Penguins were up up 2-0 in the first period of Game 5, and the crowd were stunned. Then, the Red Wings struck back, making it 3-2 Detroit! The game had much life left in it, though, and after reaching a 3-3 deadlock, entered a series of overtimes rarely before seen in NHL hockey. With 49:57 and into triple overtime, the Penguins' Petr Sykora scored and turned the arena on its head! The teams went to Pittsburgh's Mellon Arena for Game 6, with the crowd poised for the unexpected. Typically, the Pittsburgh side have been the surprise outfit this NHL season, but they ended it heartbroken and proud.

2008 NHL Stanley Cup Tickets and Report

The 2008 Stanley Cup tickets race was on for Game 1 and the favorite to win this series was surely the Red Wings. Game 1 in this Stanley Cup series produced a flurry of goals for Detroit but nothing for Pittsburgh; former Penguin Mikael Samuelsson rapped two unassisted scorchers into the net in a 4-0 slam that had "series winners" written all over it. Stanley Cup tickets holders were dumbfounded at the one-sidedness of the battle, while personnel were slightly more inclined towards a sporting attitude. Red Wings goaltender Chris Osgood and coach Mike Babcock acknowledged the Penguins strength in offence (as well as their tired defense) in this whirlwind start to the 2008 Stanley Cup, and understandably the Red Wings were massively confident of a major result in the long run.

Game 2 was a Memorial Day disaster for the Penguins there in Hockeytown. Stanley Cup tickets again moved like crazy, as Penguins fans knew they weren't out of the race just yet. The Red Wings controlled the puck with precision and force as they did in Game 1, and at the end of Game 2 Stuart, Holmstrom and Filppula all appeared on the scoreboard, while the sad Penguins again failed to register. Penguins captain Sidney Crosby was quick to point out that Detroit were lucky in their shooting, putting their few chances in the back of the net, but nobody could deny that goals win games, and the Red Wings had taken full advantage of whatever came their way there in the Joe Louis Arena. The most impressive aspect of this Detroit game, though, was their sheer possession and dominance; Pittsburgh managed to release just six shots throughout the entire Game 2.

Game 3; Penguins fans had almost given up on buying Stanley Cup tickets, and the team were stuck in a self-loathing and recrimination drive that threatened to unhinge what confidence may have remained. Goalless and near-hopeless, the brave birds from the Burgh shuffled onto the ice and began to pick up the pieces. Sidney Crosby, the Pittsburgh Center, scored twice to give the Penguins a 2-0 lead, and with their Goalie Fleury in fine form (he blocked an amazing total 32 out of 34 Red Wing shots) the Penguins emerged gleaming from a brilliant first half display. Detroit predictably scored but the Penguins answered it with one of their own, and a concrete sense of relief swept around Mellon Arena. Game 3 ended 3-2 Penguins, with a new twist on the 2008 Stanley Cup Finals.

When people buy NHL hockey tickets, especially Stanley Cup tickets, they hope to see hockey that uplifts the audience to a different plane than that enjoyed by regular season hockey crowds. Game 4 was a return to the grim and crushing Detroit machine, as it established another win in this 2008 Stanley Cup series, with a narrow 2-1 victory. Sadly the game took place in Pittsburgh's Mellon Arena but this home advantage was of no use to the Penguins. All eyes were now on Joe Louis Arena, where it was believed the Red Wings would swipe the Stanley Cup on home ice and the celebration would begin.

Detroit hockey fans bought Stanley Cup tickets and smiled after Game 4, and that's when things changed; the Red Wings were 35 seconds from winning the Stanley Cup in Game 5, possibly the most memorable Stanley Cup game in recent memory. The Penguins had been on the ropes throughout much of this series, and on the night of Game 5 they were looking like lambs at the slaughter, despite taking an initial 2-0 lead in the first period; the Red Wings had clawed their way back and begun making a game of it, and seemed about to put their Pittsburgh opponents to the sword, before the heroics of Penguins' goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury and forward Petr Sykora combined to keep them in the Stanley Cup. Only four other games have gone to longer overtimes in Stanley Cup history, and after the previous four games nobody expected this one to hit the top 5, time-wise.

But it did.

And now, with all the rules broken, we had an epic struggle on our hands. Who wasn't now fascinated by this classic battle between these mighty masters of skate and stick? Game 6 would tell the final story...

The Stanley Cup has returned to Hockeytown, and it is hard to imagine it being any other way after a pretty solid series by the Detroit Red Wings. Always a big seller, Red Wings tickets will be in even higher demand than usual next season, after this resounding statement to the hockey world. Still reeling from their near-record overtime loss in Game 5, the Red Wings played a tight Game 6 in Pittsburgh, delivering yet another hockey lesson to the hapless Penguins at Mellon Arena. The score was 3-2 to the Red Wings, but the Penguins can forgive themselves; nobody dreamed they would ever make it this far, and Detroit are simply on fire right now. Henrik Zetterberg deservedly won MVP for the postseason and Detroit won the Presidents’ Trophy for the best record during regular season play. Penguins Goalie hero Fleury allowed an uncharacteristic error to make it 1-3 Red Wings, and the Detroit side harangued Fluery's goalmouth with a vicious succession of drives and runs. None of the weariness predicted after their triple-overtime loss materialized and this time the Hockeytown boys made no mistake. The game ended 3-2 Wings, but this really didn't reflect the run of play.The champagne is flowing and Hockeytown rejoices. What a fantastic series though. One of the best Stanley Cup series we have seen in years.

The Penguins' great escape was big news in NHL this season. This time last year they were virtually consigned to a black ravine from which they weren't expected to emerge, but emerge they did - straight to the 2008 Stanley Cup Finals!
