Reader question: NHL Tuesday

Published 9:13 am Monday, September 21, 2009

The next hockey event in Everett up on the schedule doesn’t directly deal with the Silvertips as the NHL is coming to town tomorrow. The Phoenix Coyotes, with former Tips Peter Mueller and Shaun Heshka in tow, take on the Tamp Bay Lightning in an NHL exhibition game Tuesday night at Comcast Arena, so I figured I’d make this week’s question related to that.

So what I want to know is:

– Are you going to the game?

– If so, what are you most looking forward to?

– If not, why not?

I’ll get things started. I’m not only going to the game, I’ll be covering it for the paper. The thing I’m looking forward to the most is the opportunity this affords us to compare the NHL and WHL levels. Getting to see NHL players in the same arena and from the same vantage point as I see the WHL, it should serve as a good lesson on just how wide the gap is between the two levels of play.

What about you?
