The Boston Bruins hammered the Canucks 8-1 last night. The game almost became ridiculous in the final period. Goal after goal after goal... it became a "They scored again," "No way, they just scored AGAIN" type of game.
In Game 1, the Canucks had to play with five defensemen when Dan Hamhuis was imjured four minutes into the second period. The team lost blue liner Aaron Rome for a whole different reason. He was assessed a five-minute major and game misconduct for a crazy hit on Bruins right winger Nathan Horton. It sounds like Horton will not be in for the rest of the series and Rome will be facing a diciplinary hearing.
The ticket craze is still at full throttle in Winnipeg. Now, the folks in the 'Peg are checking into all of the ticket purchasers and ensuring none are being bought in hopes of reselling them and of course they have found a few.
From the Winnipeg Free Press:
For every cancelled transaction, people at the top of a waiting list for tickets, which sold out on Saturday, will be contacted about buying the newly available tickets.
Fans have only put down a deposit on the right to purchase a ticket. If they complete all the proper steps, they will own the tickets. Transfers aren't allowed during the first year, if there are season-ticket holder with the Manitoba Moose can't afford NHL tickets and would like to transfer them to another person, True North will bring them both down and walk them through the process.
Winnipeg Police Service spokesman Const. Jason Michalyshen said it's not illegal for tickets to change hands at face value. However, it's illegal to sell the tickets for more than face value.
The province's Amusements Act has a section that says: "No person shall sell, barter or exchange for anything any ticket of admission to a place of amusement for a price or consideration greater than that paid or given (therefor) to the owner of the place of amusement to which it is an admission."
Police have pursued charges against those flouting the law in the past and may pursue charges in the future, Michalyshen said.
