So does the Florida game replace the Ottawa game as the Fan Appreciation game ?
My rep told me not changing still going to be Saturday nightMy question as well. It certainly takes the cache of "last regular season game" away from it. Then again, both games are likely to have key players resting (as they should!), and feature Providence Bruins prominently.
Easy fix, though: rebrand it as "Fan Appreciation Weekend". Pick one day to do the NESN awards (the Gallery Gods trophy, Seventh Player, Three Stars, etc.) Pick the other day to do the Shirts off our Backs. Spread out the random "during the game" giveaways to both games, and now that there's 3 months of lead time, maybe bust your chops a little to increase the giveaways for each day.
Savvy move by the Bruins - I haven't seen any notice about being able to turn in your tickets, but I don't think anyone can complain that their weekday game turned into a weekend season closer, especially when resale is an option. If they'd scheduled the game for, say, January 22, they'd likely be pressured into offering at the very least some kind of ticket exchange. The ones who got screwed are the folks who paid too much in advance for OTT.
Selling a pair for next week.

Still looking for one ticket for the Leafs game (Feb 3rd) when I am in town. PM me if you can help me out. I have cash and beer to offer
Looking less likely that I am going to find a ticket for this one so as a backup plan, where is a good bar to catch the game?
Never be afraid to pull on people's heart strings...."It's my first time in Boston, I thought I had a ticket lined up, but it fell through, etc." maybe they'll even give you a SRO seat or something.
Just don't pay for any ticket that is labelled as "SRO". There is no "standing room only" section in the Garden.
I have never known the opposition being given tickets to sell, unless you mean for players. Whenever I have been to an "away" game I just go to the home teams site and buy there.
