Something I do is try to get there a little bit early to watch some of the pregame skate. This is something that I love to do purely to see how some of the players prepare and also you will see some minor superstitions of players.

Don't leave early!

And being this is your 1st game, enjoy yourself. This is a game that once you see it live, it's hard not to like it.

Scott

HAHAH! oh god! You should watch for number 8 on the kings. he is an amazing rookie by the name of Drew "God" Doughty (the god was the nickname i gave him haha). Kings are a good young team but boston should kill. have a fun time!

I agree with Scott, get there a bit early, enjoy yourself. Don't leave until the end, no matter what the score is

How early is early? I was planning 1 hour before game time.

I usually leave for Sens game an hour and a half early so I can get a good parking spot. Not sure about boston, but Scotiabank Place the good parking lots fill up fairly quick.

To get the whole experience, you have to get there about 35 minutes before gametime....
Like Scott Says, pregame skate will tell alot about the players...in most cases, first goalie off the ice is the starting goalie....
Have to be there for the Anthem....I can never get into a game (or any other sport event) without it...It Sets the mood for your next 2 1/2 hours.....

Players to look out for:

Kings -
Doughty #8 (as Andy said) - This guy skates like Paul Coffey.....likes to take the puck end to end...very exciting to watch....You would never know he was a rookie....rarely out of position
Brown #23 - This guy was named Captian this season and he has proved he owns that spot - He has Monsterous hits.....wouldnt be surprised if he does one on 6'7 Chara...(Brown likes to hit Pronger)

Dont know much about the Bruins but Wheeler is rookie who could possibly be in the top 3 for Calder Trophy....putting up some #s but his time has been limited.....

Last but not least - follow Scott's advice - DON'T LEAVE EARLY!!!!!! No matter what the score is....

I never leave....and I have seen some HUGE come backs....
Case in point - Dallas @ Kings 11/10/07
Kings down 4-0 with 13 minutes to go (keep in mind Stars have Dominated the Kings for years so a win with 4-0 was rare) Kings score 5 goals in 5 minutes to take a 5-4 lead...Stars score in the last minute and send it to OT...Kopitar wins it in OT

Also watch for Frolov and Kopitar on LA and watch a lot of players on Boston! They are that good! Lucic, Kreciji, Wheeler, Savard, Kessel, Bergeron, Ryder, Chara, and goalie Thomas! Have a lot of fun at the game!
