I was just going to suggest this. Hit up the Garden for a Rangers game, or head up to TDBankNorth for a Bruins game just to take it in. Sit up in the upper deck (around center line if you can) where you can fully appreciate the entire game, watch breakaways develop and watch the teams set up their offenses and defenses. Hockey is a beautiful game and until you see it live, you truly cannot appreciate it's greatness.
I remember seeing my first game at the Cap Centre. Watching the decibel meter hit in the low 100s with the roar of the crowd, Donnie Beaupre in between the pipes, and watching Dino, Langway, Hunter, and Pivonka racing around the ice. It was awesome. Also helped that they pitched a shutout and we got free Jerry's pizza.
Ted Leonsis did it the right way. He was up front, honest and truthful in the way he dismantled and rebuilt the Caps. And now they are the cream of the crop in the NHL, with his hard work completely paying off. And while football is a completely different beast, Snyder can definitely learn a thing or 2 from Uncle Teddy Email.
