Hello!
I'm planning a trip to California for Anaheim 2 in January. For the experience I'd love to check out a NBA and NHL game, so if any of your NHL fans can point me in a better direction, the three options I have are:
Jan 18 – LA Kings Vs Pittsburgh @ Staples Centre
Jan 19 – Anaheim vs LA Kings @ Honda Centre
Jan 21 – LA Kings vs NY Rangers @ Staples Centre
I'd be leaning more towards Anaheim Vs LA Kings, since that would be a bit of a home derby yeah? But a couple of people have told me that if it were them they would rather see a game at staples centre, since Honda centre isn't that great.
Thought? Thanks in advance.

As for experience, if this will be your first NHL experience it won't matter which game or stadium you pick. You'll have a blast either way. There's nothing live watching a live sporting event. TV doesn't do any of them justice. The speed of the game, the crowd, the sounds, the intensity, the smells, etc. It's just so much better live.
Have fun.

I know nothing about the stadiums - on the teams alone I would do Kings/Pens.
You still get a feel for how fast they move up and down the ice, but you also get a better feel for how the plays develop across the ice..
I've sat front row before in the corner once. Saw Bryan Trottier get checked into the boards so hard, they came apart and his jersey got caught between the boards. The trainer had to come out and cut his jersey to free him. Couldn't see much of the game from where we were, but that was pretty f'n cool.
Wear a Steeler jersey too lol. Totally acceptable.
