Aside from ease of ticket purchases, why Washington? They're going to be mediocre, and I don't know about you guys, but I'm pretty sick of playing them because of all these playoff series we've had against them. If I'm traveling over 4-5 hours I'd strongly prefer Boston.
I would prefer a party bus to Boston as well on a weekend with pickup and dropoff at Penn station. We should contact nyr FO and see if they can help us get a block of tickets, provided we can get at least 50 - 100 people to confirm for the trip.
New Jersey isn't a road trip. Assuming the season starts on time and/or the game remains the same day, I'm making the trek down to Carolina in March with ih8theislanders, NYRFAN218, and possibly some others
Went to Carolina 2 years ago. Good atmosphere. My only gripe was there is NOTHING around the arena in terms of bars/restaurants. Marc and I are thinking of making that trip in march, too. If you go, go to The Pit for dinner. You're welcome, in advance.

Good, if you go then we'll follow you and you can pay for our gas and tickets.
Stupid CBA negotiations make this so much harder to plan in advance. I blame the owners on this one big time, even though I prefer an owner ruled league, not at the cost of regular season games though. That's for another thread though.
I think planning a trip isn't wise with a possible lockout; you don't know if the game will be played nor what the schedule is. If we plan it we could lose all the money.
I wouldn't in any case pick the black Friday game. Being early afternoon after Thanksgivingsny people will be scattered throughout and unable to meet that quickly following the holiday.
I would be down for a Washington game. Also, down for Vegas in case of a lockout. I have already been 3 times this year may as well add another to that number lol.
