Any expectations? Impressions?

I won't make the fan fest or the games due to stupid work stuff, but I fully expect to be at T-MA for the UNLV game. Hoping everything goes well at the fan fest.

I'll go to the fan fest but...as much as I want to see NHL players on that TMA ice, I didn't see a single ticket I'd justify paying for. None of the teams are ones I remotely like, they won't even have full rosters, I just don't see it as worth it.

 

[VEGASKING]

Just got cheap tix for Friday so I'm going to both games now. Fanfest I couldn't care less about.

Frozen Fury is usually the last preseason game(s) before the season. In past years, it's been pretty close to opening night rosters.

I am going to see the game on Oct. 8th.

I've already been to a handful of concerts and USA bball plus season ticket open house.

I will, I have access to all VIP areas and will find out if it's worth it or not.

But have you seen a hockey game in it?

Game no, the setup yep!

 

[MrLouniverse]

Is there anywhere I can bet these games and are we expecting pretty much opening night lineups both games/do we know the starters?

I know this is research I should be doing if I actually want to place action but can't hurt to ask, maybe someone already knows (stranger things...)

Since the Kings are on back-to-back, they might opt to keep some of the vets out of one of the games (and I'd imagine Quick/Zatkoff would split starts). They had a similar setup in 2013 when they played the Rangers/Avs in Vegas. I'd imagine that the Stars/Avs would dress something close to their opening night rosters.

Best I could find from that year:

Friday night roster:
Dwight King – Anze Kopitar – Justin Williams
Matt Frattin – Mike Richards – Jeff Carter
Kyle Clifford – Jarret Stoll – Trevor Lewis
Tanner Pearson – Linden Vey – Jordan Nolan

Robyn Regehr – Drew Doughty
Willie Mitchell – Slava Voynov
Alec Martinez – Matt Greene

Jonathan Quick
Mathieu Garon

Saturday night roster:
Dustin Brown – Anze Kopitar – Tyler Toffoli
Matt Frattin – Mike Richards – Jeff Carter
Kyle Clifford – Jarret Stoll – Trevor Lewis
Daniel Carcillo – Colin Fraser – Jordan Nolan

Keaton Ellerby – Drew Doughty
Willie Mitchell – Slava Voynov
Alec Martinez – Matt Greene

Ben Scrivens
Mathieu Garon

From what I recall, Dustin Brown's wife also gave birth that week although I did spot him at craftsteak after the Friday game. Drew Doughty and Trevor Lewis were also seated next to me [/coolstorybro]

 

[KnishOfTheCrease]

Still thinking about going tonight. There are a boatload of cheap tickets on StubHub.

 

[Brodeur]

Not sure if these are tonight's lines, but it seems like a reasonable bet.

 

[HanSolo]

Picked up some tickets for 10 bucks each for tonight.

 

[MrLouniverse]

tyty to you both, it appears that I can bet the game at the Stations but that's about it; might throw a bet down if there's any last minute movement irt the line.

 

[KnishOfTheCrease]

I didn't go. Bad hockey fan

Watching it in TV though

Where's it on TV? I'll check it out during a break in the Cubs game.

ETA: Forget it, I found it. Wasn't there when I tried earlier.

 

[HanSolo]

This is an excellent arena for hockey.

Just back from the game, sloppy goal tending from the Kings. Loved the arena only thing I think they could improve on is adding more concession stands
