I want to go see a game in Arizona while they're playing in that college arena.
When it looked likely that the 'Yotes could really be leaving Arizona, early last year, I preemptively bought a couple of tickets for the final game of the season. They were nosebleeds, and cost me the princely sum of $13.
Thought was that they'd increase in value, but I didn't really intend to sell them, I intended to go see a piece of NHL history.
Well, it wasn't the last game in Arizona, but it was certainly the last game at Gila River Arena and my ticket value rose to about $60. Naturally, I didn't sell them but instead booked a reward flight and headed out from Austin with a friend.
And I got *that* game. I don't think I've ever screamed so loudly at an NHL game where my favourite team wasn't playing. Of course, it *did* have playoff implications for the Stars.
There's little point to telling this story other than to say that I feel that I should follow that night at Gila River by making it back out there and an experiencing a game in the NHL's smallest venue.

I've got about three years.
So who do you think will win it all this year?
