I have these choices for a trip I'll be taking next week to NYC:
Penguins @ Devils or Flyers @ Rangers?
Never been to a NHL game and very excited!! Should I stub hub or try to score a ticket outside the arena?
I also may go to a Nets game or Knicks game but I've seen plenty of NBA games so I'm not sweating that as hard

MSG is cool. Concessions suck.

Nice arena...shitty area (Newark). But Devils games are legit...plus great match up. NHL games in person is awesome.

Last I remember, Devils tickets (good seats) can be found for real cheap on Stubhub. Can't argue with support for your other choice though.

Flyers - Rangers in the Garden for your first hockey game is almost a bucket list sporting event.

Garden is great...check out some the renovations they have done and after the game go to Stout NYC on West 33rd right across from the Garden

I would say Pens @ Devils IF Sidney Crosby was playing.

But since his brain is mush, go with PHI@NYR.

Although Malkin is the best player in the league right now, no Crosby and no Staal makes me

I'd go to MSG. Check stubbing and see what prices are going for and go from there.

Flyers at Rangers no doubt. I went to an Islanders vs Rangers game at msg a couple years ago and it was great.

Definitely Flyers at Rangers (as everyone has said).

The Devils have a much nicer arena, but the Rangers are still in MSG, which is the greatest arena in all of sports (though, as mentioned, not as nice as the Prudential Center). And beyond that, both the Flyers and Rangers are better than the Penguins and Devils this year and the atmosphere will be much more intense.

If Crosby was playing, I might say Penguins at Devils, just because he could arguably end up the greatest of all time (or at least up there with Gretzky and Lemieux) when all is said and done and this would probably be the only chance you'd ever have to see him play. But him being out makes this decision a no-brainer.
