LouKesBurr Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Anyone planning on going to see the Canucks in Boston? I'm very interested in going and would like to know people's experiences and the cheapest way to book hotel/flight. Thanks for any information.

apollo Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 I haven't been personally but I did have a friend that attended game 6. He said he was heckled and had crap thrown at him from the start to the end of the game. Even in pre game skate. As a die hard, I wouldn't want to ever sell you against going and supporting the greatest sporting franchise of ALL time on the road but unless you have a box I wouldn't recommend mingling in that dumpster of a city. The people are classless. The city is garbage other than some decent night life. It's a nice change for a couple nights from Vancouver's night life but I'd still rather die than live there. Not to mention, your hard earned Canadian money would be leaving our economy and supporting that dumpster. Sorry to be so negative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCNeil Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 I have never been to a Canucks game in Boston. But have been to a couple other games there. Its not that great. In January the city will be dark and gloomy. The arena is plain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaBamba Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Have not watched a hockey game in Boston but I have visited the city. Don't listen to these fear mongers, it's gotta be one of the most interesting cities in the USA. They may heckle, but at least they haven't stabbed anyone like we did in Vancouver.

While I totally agree that what your friend went through is f'd up and should NEVER happen, I don't think OP will be in the same situation. Regular season game =/= Game 6 of the Finals. Nobody will be that amped up, might get heckled, but really it won't be anything bad. He'll be fine if he decides to go. And I think were being a little excessive here.. It's a nice city, and not everyone is rude. EDIT: Just a random story since it's relevant, when Cliff Lee was traded to the Yankess, his wife attended a game he was starting, and Lee was terrible, so the fans sitting around his wife were heckling the hell out of her and some even spat on her. Talk about brutal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tortorella's Rant Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 The teams are a lot different now. Any sort of rivalry is gone now. And we've whooped their ass in the regular games since. Should be aight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When alcohol is involved, who doesn't expect a vocal minority of fans to be hostile? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I think were being a little excessive here.. It's a nice city, and not everyone is rude. I had a buddy do a baseball stadium trip, hitting Boston and NY, among others. We all figured he, as an Angels fan, would have the toughest time in Yankee Stadium, but it was the Boston fans that were the worst to him, and this was during the regular season, FWIW. He even went to the bar afterwards with some of the Yankee fans. It's a city I want to visit someday, but I don't hear good things in general about the people... granted, my sample size is pretty small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LionofJudah Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 I was actually considering going to this game myself. I have a couple of bruins friends down near boston I'm planning on meeting up with and hitting the game. If I can get the day off work. I won't have any flight deals but i did see the ramada Inn was cheap and a decent enough stay. Get what you pay for types like a best western.

proheffanol Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Bruins fans are classless, I will say that straight up. It's not going to be ANYTHING like game 6 of the SCF though. The worse you'll probably get is drunk Bruin fans with their Bostonian accents saying "Canucks suck!!" and probably bring up 2011 some how and I can put up with that, but if you're still worried then just don't wear a canuck jersey. At the same time though I can see canuck fans treating Bruins fans the same way if we won that year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pistolpro327 Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Had a few friends attend a regular season game this past season and they did not enjoy the experience at all. Were heckled throughout the game and some intoxicated locals were trying to instigate a physical altercation. They ended up leaving early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry but that's ridiculous. Boston is a beautiful city, and is a great place to visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amish Rake Fighter Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 I've seen a few games there, if you wear Canucks colours, be prepared. Chances are you've never seen anything like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintPatrick33 Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Some advice would be to wear a PK Subban jersey and then tell them to shut up, just like he did in game 7. Habs pwn the bruins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
