I just received an email offering me advanced access to tickets to Ranger Games. I don't even know if it is hockey season now and I couldn't name one NHL player and yet I still had a cheshek to get myself some tickets to some games. I would take the C train down from 72nd to MSG, 10 minutes later I am there and then I sit back and enjoy.
