The "Baby" Penguins vs the Binghamton Senators ~ Binghamton, NY • click to embiggenWent to Binghamton this weekend to visit grad-school boy and see a minor league (AHL) hockey game wherein I rediscovered - and the wife discovered (since she had never attended a minor league game) - the joys of an $18 game ticket as opposed to one costing 10x as much in Montreal (NHL). Not to mention the fact that 2 minor league beers, aka - hockey water, can be had for less than 1/2 the cost of 1 big league beer.
It's probably time that we start considering attending some AHL games in Albany (when the "Baby" Pens are in town). Albany and the Albany Devils are only a 2 hour drive away and for the same cost, or less, as 2 tickets to an NHL game in Montreal (when the Pittsburgh Pens are in town), we can see a game, have dinner, and stay overnight in a hotel in Albany.
In any event, the only real downside to attending the game in Binghamton this past weekend was that there was another game going on that we missed.
