Twitter: Rangers vs Kings in Stockholm

[DAkings20]

Hey guys didn't know where to post this so I started a thread(mod can move if needed)

Anyways the LA Times writer for the kings just posted this on her twitter:

helenenothelen:

Kings will open next season at Stockholm vs NY Rangers and Berlin vs Buffalo Oct 7-8. Official announcement coming Monday

Thought you guys would want to know.

[New York RKY]

Cool!

I love Kopitar, Doughty, and Brown.

Should be good games, especially Richards with the hatty in GM #1

I am a little confused with the tweet, are the Rangers playing 2 games with LA or are the Kings playing the Rangers in Stockholm then going to Berlin to play Buffalo?

That's what I read it as too.

Kings would only play the Rangers once, so I'm not sure who you guys would play your other game against.

helenenothelen:

Rangers get to stay in Stockholm for two games while the Kings go from Stockholm to Berlin, the Ducks go from Helsinki to Stockholm, and the Sabres go from Helsinki to Berlin.

Fans should be wild for the king, will be fun to watch.

[Ih8theislanders]

Although only one game is technically a home one, I think it's pretty safe to say the crowd will be on our side in both games.

Remember, this is Europe, Helsinki - Stockholm is 50minutes flight

But anyways, oh man does this suck. Just when the Rangers (and Ducks if Selänne's still playing) come to Scandinavia, and on my birthday as well, I'm moving to the UK two weeks before blah.

Hell yeah

Now I´ve to look to get tickets and time of from work

[White Plains Batman]

With the Garden renovation and the Rangers starting the first month and change on the road, this is cool stuff.

It'll be a homecoming for Henrik and VERY possibly Hagelin

Same here. Would have preferred the Rangers in Berlin, would have been alot cheaper, but stockholm is still cheaper than a nyc trip

[RangerFury]

My first rangers game. Finally!

My 1st was in Bern 2008, NYR vs. Magnitogorsk. was an awesome experience, especially after Cally made it 4-3 with seconds left in the 3rd after we battled back a 0-3 deficit. Hope to see some guys from this board there. I think would be nice...

[BlackpoolBlueshirt]

Any idea when tickets are likely to go on sale? Or how difficult they will be to get?

Awesome, now I have to get tickets early.. I've missed out the last few years because of work, general poorness or whatever.

Plus seeing the rangers would be pretty cool

I would highly recommend City BackPackers, provided you are okay with hostels. I've been with them for two weekends and they never have disappointed. http://www.citybackpackers.org/

That'll be where I plan on staying if I manage to get to go. I'm mainly an Avs -fan, but Rangers is my back-up team. Please don't set me on fire.

Thx, no I don´t have a problem with a hostel Stayed in a hostel as I was in Bern too. I just need a place to sleep and no spa or crap like that

@ AVS-Fan --> means when we meet you sponsor a beer just kidding, hope we all can make the trip and enjoy the game with much fellas as possible

[BlackpoolBlueshirt]

Thanks for all the info!
Are the tickets likely to be available by resellers (eg on eBay) after they've sold out?
Obviously I'd rather just get them before they sell out, but wanna make sure I get them some how!
