I agree - as awesome as it was to see the Bruins, it was only an exhibition game and they clearly weren't going all out. Having said that, it was exhilarating to see the UK team fight so hard against them. Even as a Bruins fan, I was really hoping the UK team would score a few more!
Equally, the Ducks v Kings game was a great spectacle, but the view was poor (I was unemployed at the time and couldn't afford to pay anything more than for the noosebleed seats) which spoilt it a bit. Plus, I wished had been able to see the second game because the game went so quickly. I'm glad that we've gotten tickets for both Kings v Rags games and hopefully we'll have better seats.
Hopefully we'll be able to meet up with Manimal if he's able to make it to Stockholm.

Yeah the ticket prices were quite reasonable compared, for example, to what you could get for two soccer matches in the UK. It seems European hockey games (even those involving NHL teams) are quite well priced. Although I'm not sure how much the demand is in Europe to see the NHL games. I think when the NHL visited Stockholm last season, there were still tickets available right up until the game night (or thereabouts). It's the same when the Bruins visited Belfast last year - there were quite a few empty seats IIRC. It's funny because whenever myself and my bro see these games go on sale, we'll book them as quickly as possible so as to ensure we actually get tickets. Perhaps we needn't worry so much!
I don't think I could afford to do that every year!
