Center Erik Christensen has been unable to consistently crack the New York Rangers lineup over the past two seasons. As a result and somewhat of a reward for being a good soldier, the New York Rangers have traded Christensen to the Minnesota Wild along with a 7th Round Pick in exchange for minor league forward Casey Wellman.

The deal not only lightens up a log-jam at forward for New York, it also removes Christensen’s salary from their cap hit and frees up a spot for defenseman Steve Eminger who is just about ready to come off the Injured Reserve List.

New York Rangers head coach told the New York Daily News there are no hard feelings and he wishes Christensen well in the future with Minnesota:

“He gets another opportunity. For us to get to the roster, we wanted to get some other people in. He had some opportunities here, great guy… I wish the best to him, but we need to move by that right now and look at other things.”

Wellman has seen action in 27 NHL games over the past two years with the Wild but has also been unable to solidify a spot in the lineup. In those 27 games played he has recorded 2 goals and 4 assists to go along with 4 penalty minutes.

He is the son of former San Francisco Giants infielder Brad Wellman.

The New York Rangers are currently in first place in the NHL’s Eastern Conference with a total of 69 points in 49 games. Their next game is Sunday versus the Philadelphia Flyers at Madison Square Garden. The Flyers are hot on the Rangers’ tail with 66 points so Sunday’s game will be a battle just like it always is between these bitter rivals. The Rangers have defeated the Flyers by scores of 2-0, 4-2 and of course 3-2 in the NHL Winter Classic.

Two rivals will meet for the first game after the All-Star break when the New Jersey Devils host the New York Rangers tonight at the Prudential Center. Tonight’s matchup is the second of six meetings this season. The rivals will meet five times in the next six weeks.

With 66 points, the Rangers head into tonight just one point behind Detroit for the most in the NHL. They have a three point lead over the Philadelphia Flyers for the lead in the Atlantic Division.

The Devils are currently locked in a three-way tie with the Florida Panthers and the Toronto Maple Leafs for the final two playoff spots in the East. They have also lost their last three games. The Devils also lost their first bout with the Rangers this season, 4-1, at the Prudential Center on Dec. 20

Marian Gaborik is returning from the All-Star game on a hot streak after being named MVP and scoring a hat trick, the 16th in All-Star Game history. Two of the three goals were against Rangers’ goaltender Henrik Lundqvist.

“I was just fortunate to be lucky against him,” Gaborik said. “I think he’s one of the best, if not the best, goalie in the league, but I am glad I could get a couple of goals against him.”

Gaborik is the fifth Ranger to claim All-Star MVP honors. He is also leading the New York Rangers with 25 goals.

The Top 5 Events on SelectATicket.com last week were as follows:

1. Super Bowl Tickets
2. New York Yankees Tickets
3. Bruce Springsteen Tickets
4. MLB All Star Game Tickets
5. Big East Tournament Tickets

One surprise at first glance is seeing New York Yankees tickets making the list but with news of Jorge Posada retiring this past week and spring training about to get started, it really isn’t hard to imagine how fans would have baseball on their mind and the season is really not that far off.

Bruce Springsteen’s first tour in two years with the E Street Band has also made the list as tickets for those shows are very popular.

And of course the number one event is Super Bowl XLVI between the New York Giants and New England Patriots, coming up this Sunday but there’s still time to buy tickets.

Check back next week for the list of top 5 events for the current week.

In what could be considered a gross underestimation of just how passionate his fans are, Bruce Springsteen tickets went on sale earlier today and overwhelmed the servers at Ticketmaster.

Having 5 New Jersey and New York shows going on sale within an hour of each other, Ticketmaster was not up to the task nor prepared for the inundation of traffic as they were unable to grant the overwhelming number of requests from fans.

Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band will play April 3 & 4 at the Izod Center in East Rutherford (Meadowlands Arena), April 6 and 9 at New York City’s Madison Square Garden and May 2 at Newark’s Prudential Center.

Springsteen routinely sells out most concerts and New Jersey and New York are especially among the first to sell out. As everyone knows, Springsteen is from New Jersey and his fanbase runs deep.

This tour marks the first shows since the passing of fan favorite, saxophonist Clarence Clemmons of the E Street Band. Fans are anxious to see “The Boss” and the remaining band members and today’s strong demonstration by the fans really shows just how badly everyone misses seeing Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band live in concert.

The server glitches were apparently resolved but that does not take away the frustration and disappointment experienced by the early bird fans who were ready and waiting in an attempt to get the jump on these high demand tickets.

For those who were not lucky enough to get through for tickets this morning there is still hope. There are alternate outlets for most events and die-hard fans can find Bruce Springsteen tickets on sale now for most dates in New York, New Jersey and around the country.

New York Rangers rookie winger Carl Hagelin was made a late addition to the NHL Young Stars game as a replacement for injured Devils center Adam Henrique who’s nursing a sore groin. The Young Stars game is part of the NHL All Star Game weekend and features the top rookies in the NHL who are hopeful of becoming future NHL All Stars.

Hagelin has been a pleasant surprise for the Blueshirts this season as he was a callup in November. His speed and determined puck pursuit game fits the Rangers’ style to a T and his dogged back-checking allows coach John Tortarella to utilize Hagelin in a variety of situations knowing he is defensively responsible, often a rarity in rookies.

Being played on a variety of different lines and in a lot of different situations, Hagelin has recorded 16 points (on a very balanced eight goals and eight assists) to go along with a gaudy plus-13 rating in only 29 games.

The New York Rangers are having their best season in years and the strong, dependable play of young Hagelin is just one component of their success in the first half. Also joining Hagelin in Ottawa for the All Star festivites are rock solid defenseman Dan Girardi, all-world goaltender Henrik Lundqvist and the team’s top goal scorer, sniper Marian Gaborik. To top the list, head coach John Tortarella will be coaching the All Stars.

The NHL All Star Game is taking place this Sunday, January 29 at the Corel Center in Kanata, Ontario. You can still find NHL All Star Game tickets online.

This will mark the first tour since the passing of E Street Band cornerstone Clarence Clemmons. Affectionately known as “The Big Man”, Clemmons died on June 18, 2011 as a result of complications following a stroke.

Springsteen fans have been anxiously awaiting the announcement of these tour dates since it was revealed the band will be heading back out on the road.

With a nail-biting 23-20 victory over the Baltimore Ravens, the New England Patriots became the first team to advance on to Super Bowl XLVI in Indianapolis, Indiana and the New York Giants needed overtime to defeat the San Francisco 49ers to move on to the Super Bowl.

In a hard fought AFC Championship Game, New England was able to hang on and dodge a few bullets including a broken up but very catchable pass in the end zone and a missed “chippy” field goal by usually reliable Baltimore placekicker Billy Cundiff. Cundiff missed a 32 yard field goal attempt in the waning moments which would have pushed the game to overtime. A heartbreaking loss for the visitors was an euphoric triumph for Tom Brady and the Patriots who are looking to add more hardware to their collection.

Making a repeat of Super Bowl 42, the New York Giants won the NFC Championship in the late game on Sundayl. The Giants caused a turnover on a punt return which led to the game winning overtime field goal by Lawrence Tynes, the second time Tynes has kicked an OT field goal to lead the Giants to the Super Bowl as he did the same in 2008 versus Green Bay.

The Super Bowl is scheduled for February 5 at Lucas Oil Stadium and you can order Super Bowl tickets now to see these two great franchises battle it out a second time for the NFL Championship.

After beating the Green Bay Packers, 37-20 the New York Giants are headed to San Francisco next Sunday to play for the NFC championship. The Giants are one game away from a second Super Bowl appearance in the past four years.

When the Giants met the San Francisco 49ers in November, during regular season play, they lost 27-20. This was the first of four consecutive losses for the Giants. The Giants are looking at this match-up with the 49ers as a chance to avenge this loss.

“I’m going to go ahead and answer this for you: Do we feel we’re gonna win in San Fran?’’ Tuck said. “Yes, we feel like we’re gonna win in San Fran. Am I guaranteeing a win? No, I’m not.’’

As this will be the 13th conference championship game for the 49ers, the third most of any team, they are going in with quite a bit of experience. This is the fifth conference championship for the New York Giants, who are heading into this game with a 4-0 record for this round.

Both starting quarterbacks were number 1 picks in the NFL draft. Manning was the No. 1 pick in 2004, and Smith was the No. 1 pick in 2005. This will be only the second time in history that two No. 1 overall picks have faced each other in a conference championship.

The winner of this game will play the winner of the AFC Championship in the Super Bowl. The AFC Championship will feature the Baltimore Ravens vs New England Patriots.

Ending the season a disappointing 8-8 following two consecutive trips to the AFC Championship Game, the New York Jets have parted ways with Offensive Coordinator Brian Schottenheimer, Line coach Bill Callahan and Wide Receivers coach Henry Ellard.

Replacing Schottenheimer as offensive coordinator will be recently ousted Miami Dolphins head coach Tony Sparano. Replacements for Callahan and Ellard are expected to be forthcoming in the off season.

The offensive struggles of the Jets this season have been blamed on Schottenheimer and quarterback Mark Sanchez. Sanchez has now been in the league for three years and has not shown any improvement nor ability to lead the team despite head coach Rex Ryan’s insistence that Sanchez is a leader even to the point of having made him a captain of the team.

There have been published reports from unnamed players who are putting Sanchez down and claiming they want the Jets to pursue Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning should he become available via trade.

This is not the tight-knit team that Ryan wants in place as cowardly anonymous quotes in the New York tabloids are certainly not signs of a close team. Players like that need to be weeded out as Derrick Mason was earlier this season when reports came out he was displeased with Schottenheimer’s offense.

The Jets had two good seasons in a row and had a setback this year. Are they that far from where they were last year or was this just a brief stutter-step before regaining their position among the AFC elite?

The 2012 New York Jets season is going to be very telling in providing fans with that answer. Additional coaches will be brought in, there will be a new offense for Sanchez to learn, or will they really pursue the aging, injured Peyton Manning? Is Sanchez too young to give up on or not good enough to wait for? Big decisions need to be made to get Gang Green back on track.

It is going to be a thrilling season with lots of added drama as head coach Rex Ryan may be the next one on the chopping block if things don’t turnaround quickly for the Jets. Be there to see them bounce back from a down year, when next season comes around don’t forget that you can find New York Jets tickets at SelectATicket.com.

Ghost the Musical is set to materialize on Broadway this spring. April 23, 2012 will mark the official opening for the musical at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre. The musical is currently running at London’s Piccadilly Theatre. Original London cast members Richard Fleeshman and Caissie Levy will re-create their roles as Sam and Molly in the Broadway production of Ghost The Musical.

Ghost is the story of a young couple, Sam and Molly. While walking to their New York apartment one night they get mugged and Sam is murdered. Sam becomes trapped in this world as a Ghost and finds out that Molly is in danger. With the help of Oda Mae Brown, a storefront psychic, Sam attempts to communicate with Molly in the hope of saving her.

The musical is directed by Tony Award winner Matthew Warchus (God of Carnage). Joel Rubin, an Oscar-winning screenwriter, adapted his original screenplay for the musical, which has music and lyrics by Grammy Award winner Dave Stewart (of the Eurythmics) and Glen Ballard. Joel Rubin also contributed to the lyrics. The score includes the Righteous Brothers’ “Unchained Melody,” which was the love theme of the movie.

The original film starred the late Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore. Whoopi Goldberg earned the Academy Award for her portrayal of psychic Oda Mae Brown. “Ghost” also earned the Oscar for Best Screenplay.

The Giants secured a playoff spot in front of a crowd of 81,077 at MetLife Stadium with a 31-14 victory over the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday night. Eli Manning threw three touchdown passes, including a 74-yarder to Victor Cruz.

Manning completed 24 of 33 passes for 346 yards with no interceptions. He was able to end his mostly inconsistent season on a high note. Manning finished the season with 4,933 yards passing with 29 TDs against 16 interceptions.

Cruz, set a single-season record for yards receiving, finished with 178 yards and six catches, an average of 29.7 yards.

The Dallas Cowboys lost four of their final five games. New York won three of its final four games and the loss left the Cowboys (8-8) out of the playoffs for the second straight year.

With a 9-7 record, the NFC East champions will face the wild-card Falcons (10-6) on Sunday at 1 p.m. at MetLife Stadium. Based on their performances against the Jets and the Cowboys, it appears the Giants just might have a good playoff run.

“I think we’re in the perfect position,’’ linebacker Mathias Kiwanuka said. “We didn’t get here the way that we wanted to, but regardless of what has happened during the season we’re in the playoffs, we won our division and we have a chance at the Super Bowl. Once you’re in, the slate’s wiped clean and this team is ready to play.’’

The New York Rangers squeezed out a victory in the 2012 Winter Classic yesterday. The Philadelphia Flyers stormed out of the gates in the first period, controlling play and getting the better scoring chances but Rangers netminder Henrik Lundqvist managed to keep his team in the game despite being outshot 12-9 and the first period ended with the game still scoreless.

The second period was even more Flyers offense as they outshot the Rangers 14-8. Philadelphia broke the scoreless tie at 12:26 of the 2nd period when Brayden Schenn picked a memorable time to get the first goal of his NHL career on a rebound of a Matt Carle wristshot from the left point.

Not even two minutes later at 14:21, Flyers superstar center Claude Giroux took a great pass from Max Talbot on an odd man rush and roofed a backhander over Lundqvist’s right shoulder.

As hockey fans know, the first shift after a goal is very important in keeping or stealing the momentum of the game and that is exactly what happened. Only 30 seconds after Giroux gave the Flyers and the heavily Philadelphia-favored hometown crowd a seemingly comfortable two goal lead, Rangers fourth liner Mike Rupp skated left and shot right as he cut across the top of the circles and whipped a wristshot past Flyers backup goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky. Bobrovsky got the somewhat surprising nod to start in nets for Philadelphia over number one goalie Ilya Bryzgalov. Bryzgalov has struggled in recent games and maybe this highly visible benching will get him back on track.

Rupp’s goal seemed to give new life to the New York Rangers as the period ended shortly thereafter and the teams came back out in the third period for the final twenty minutes of the Winter Classic.

The Rangers wasted little time in the third period and tied the game on a seemingly harmless wrist shot by Rupp coming down the left wing. Bobrovsky seemed to be fooled by the shot as it got past him on the short side to put the teams in a 2-2 deadlock and silenced the crowd that came out for the Flyers and gave voice to the thousands of Rangers fans who entered enemy territory to cheer on their team.

With the game now tied, the visitors had wrestled the momentum back from their hosts. The teams exchanged a shot on goal each over the next two minutes before Rangers center Brad Richards scored to give the Rangers a 3-2 lead at 5:21 of the third period.

The next several minutes of play was carried by the Rangers. The home team seemed down and out as the Rangers were able to get pucks in deep and do the cycling board work that they do best. All the while eating up valuable minutes on the game clock.

Fighting dropping temperatures, gusting winds, a little snow fall and snowy ice, the Flyers had an uphill battle trying to come back late in the third period.

Despite controlling play, the Rangers breathed life back into the Flyers when Ryan McDonagh took a two minutes delay of game penalty at 14:48. With just 5:12 left in the third period, that is perhaps the worst time to take a penalty and potentially hand the momentum back to the Flyers and that is exactly what happened.

The Rangers killed the penalty off but from that point on, it was the Flyers’ puck. They tried valiantly to tie it up, peppering shots at Lundqvist, often finding their pointmen open for drives, working the puck down low in the Rangers zone, the Flyers were buzzing.

With time running down and Bobrovsky on the Flyers bench for an extra attacker, New York seemed to have a chance to put the game away as captain Ryan Callahan broke out of the zone, pushed the puck forward and charged down the ice.

However Callahan was hooked to the ice by Flyers defenseman Kimmo Timmonen and closed his hand on Timmonen’s stick on the play which meant both of them went to the penalty box.

The Flyers kept pounding at the door but Lundqvist repeatedly turned them away until a puck slid past him. McDonagh was right there for New York to make a sliding attempt to keep it out of the goal. He was able to keep the puck from going in but was called for closing his hand on the puck while in the crease which means the Flyers were awarded a penalty shot!

Talk about drama, over 4 decades of history between these teams, the focus has been on them all season, fighting each other for divisional and conference standing position, fans who clearly do not like each other, players who do not like each other, the two winningest American born coaches in the NHL, a two goal lead erased and turned into a one goal deficit for the home team, outdoors, under the lights, 46,967 screaming fans, one of the best goalies in the league at one end and one of the shiftiest scorers in Daniel Briere about to take the penalty shot that could tie this game with just 19.6 seconds left on the clock. The stadium would have exploded with cheers and possibly energize the Flyers for a forthcoming overtime victory.

Briere picked up the puck at center ice and closed in on Lundqvist, as he drew closer with his head up he tried to shoot fivehole on Lundqvist but was stopped by the Rangers goaltender.

The Flyers were able to get the puck down in the Rangers end again but simply ran out of time and the Rangers left Philadelphia with two points in the standings and countless great memories for themselves and their fans.

Philadelphia was a wonderful host for the Winter Classic and offered a great number of outdoor activities for the 46,000 plus fans at the game as well as thousands more outside who were just there for the atmosphere!

With the severity of the pain he felt when his back seized up during the pregame warmup on Dec. 16, Devils defenseman Henrik Tallinder thought he might not play again this season.

Here he is now, practicing with the team and hoping to return to the Saturday afternoon lineup against the Pittsburgh Penguins. Tallinder has missed 6 games due to his back. Alex Urbom, a rookie defensemen, was sent back to Albany as Coach Pete DeBoer is confident Tallinder will return.

“We wanted to get through a full practice and get a little contact in,” DeBoer said. “I thought he looked good to me. See how he wakes up tomorrow, but he looks good.”

Tallinder almost suffered another injury during practice yesterday when he was hit on the top of the left foot by a Dainius Zubrus shot. Even though his foot is sore, he is still expected to play.

Tallinder wasn’t the only Devil to be injured during practice, Zubrus suffered an injury of his own when he put a shot on net and the puck bounced out and hit him in the mouth. He broke one tooth and will need additional dental work.

“I shot the puck. Moose (Johan Hedberg) made a save and it came back at me. I was still going to the net, so it hit me in the mouth,” Zubrus said. “It chipped one tooth and another was pushed in.”

New York Yankees star third baseman Alex Rodriguez had an injury-filled 2011 season in pinstripes which ended with him under-performing in the playoffs, batting a mere .211 in the post-season.

In hopes of speeding up his recovery and bouncing back to the level fans have grown accustomed to, “A Rod” has traveled to Germany for experimental medical treatment on his knee. The procedure is called Orthokine and basically involves removing blood, spinning it in a centrifuge and then injecting the blood into the injured area.

The theory is that the influx of blood to the area reduces irritation and pain in the area, which is what would hinder an athlete’s performance. Kobe Bryant is believed to be the one who recommended this treatment to A Rod, having undergone Orthokine treatment himself.

Yankees fans probably don’t really care what A Rod does, just as long as he returns to being the productive hitter he’s been throughout his career and earns his massive salary.

The New York Yankees open spring training camp soon enough, their first game is scheduled for March 2nd. The hope is that A Rod will be well on his way to recovery by then and be ready to start the season fresh and strong.

The New York Yankees home opener for the 2012 season will be held at 1:05pm on April 13 vs the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.

Christmas came early this year for the New York Giants with a 29-14 victory over the NY Jets on Christmas Eve. This victory also gave the Giants bragging rights as the winner of the “Battle of New York.”

“I hate to use that cliche, but this is a huge one,” left tackle David Diehl said. “This is about the city, the city of New York and what team wants to be responsible. They have talked all week and said what they wanted to say. From Day 1, they’re our big brother and other stuff. We went out there and played our game and showed whose stadium this is.”

The Giants had their first 99-yard play in franchise history on a touchdown pass from Eli Manning to Victor Cruz. Cruz, who had three catches for 164 yards, broke Amani Toomer’s single-season mark for yards receiving.

With this win the Giants are 8-7, which puts them in the running for the NFC East title. The deciding game will be the Giants’ season finale against the Dallas Cowboys on New Year’s night at 8:20PM in MetLife Stadium.

With the loss, the Jets find themselves fighting for an AFC Wildcard spot. The Jets need a win against the Miami Dolphins next week. In addition to this win, they will also need some help from several other teams on order to remain alive in the post-season.

The Jets need the Cincinnati Bengals, Tennessee Titans and either one of the Oakland Raiders or Denver Broncos to lose (combined with a Jets victory over Miami) to reach the playoffs.

Each team still has a shot, find New York Giants tickets today and see them battle Dallas Sunday night for the NFC East title.

Despite losing five of their last six games, the New York Giants are still in the playoff picture in the NFC.

With a victory over the Jets this Saturday combined with a Dallas loss to Philadelphia, the Giants would regain first place in the NFC East. Given their tie-breaker advantage over the Dallas Cowboys, the team they play in the season finale, the Giants control their own destiny. Should the Giants defeat both the Jets and Cowboys, they will make the playoffs regardless of what Dallas does versus the Eagles.

The New York Jets however are not in such a guaranteed position. While the Giants know exactly what they have to do in order to ensure a berth, the Jets could win both of their final games but still not be a lock for a playoff spot in the AFC.

The Jets would benefit by a loss or two by the Bengals to help New York reach the playoffs. This is from ESPN on the subject:

If the Jets and Bengals both win out to finish 10-6, they’d have to resort to the strength-of-victory tiebreaker. (They’d have the same conference record and same common-opponents record.) The Jets would hold a significant advantage over the Bengals. Based on current records, the Jets’ SOV would be 56-83 (combined records of teams they beat); the Bengals’ SOV would be 51-88, according to ESPN Stats & Information.

But first things first, the Giants and the Jets will play at 1pm this Saturday, a Christmas Eve matchup which is a home game for the Jets at MetLife Stadium.

There’s been a lot of back and forth in the newspapers this week with each team taking verbal jabs at one another but all the talking goes out the window and the game is determined on the field. This is probably the biggest game to be played at MetLife Stadium yet.

The New York Rangers made the short trip to Newark, New Jersey’s Prudential Center last night to take on the New Jersey Devils. The result was a 4-1 New York victory which was a much closer game than the final score would indicate.

As always with these two teams, there was physical play, end-to-end action and terrific saves at both ends by the goaltenders.

To give you an idea of what a Rangers vs Devils game is like, the first fight of the evening came at 0:03 of the first period. That’s right, THREE SECONDS after the opening faceoff there was a fight between Mike Rupp of NY and NJ’s Cam Janssen. With a decided reach advantage, Rupp landed more blows but in the end it was a close bout without many haymakers landed but it certainly set the tone and sent a message that this was going to be a hard fought game.

New Jersey had the edge in play through the first period, out-shooting the Rangers by a margin of 12-4 and scoring the lone goal, a rebound shot which Travis Zajac put up and over sprawling goaltender Henrik Lundqvist.

New York picked up their play in period number two, hitting the goal post behind Devils goalie Martin Brodeur at least 3 separate times and finally evened the score at 1 when Artem Anisimov converted a centering feed from Derek Stepan. Stepan’s pass deflected off a Devils defenseman right onto the stick of a charging Anisimov who buried it behind Brodeur for his 7th tally of the season.

The Rangers took the lead for good in the third period on a goal by Marian Gaborik. Another strong play by Anisimov resulted in a shot on goal which was stopped by Brodeur but he couldn’t handle the rebound and Gaborik banged it home for the 2-1 lead.

New Jersey threatened to tie it up on a number of chances but Lundqvist was stellar between the pipes, turning back a total of 30 shots by the end of the game.

It appeared a gaff by Rangers defenseman Ryan McDonagh would give the Devils a chance to tie it as he took a two minute minor for closing his hand on the puck with 6:57 remaning in the third period.

However, it was the Rangers who took advantage as a clearing attempt by Rangers dman Stu Bickel – playing in his first NHL game – went past Ilya Kovalchuk at the Devils’ point and was pounced upon by speedy NY rookie Carl Hagelin. Hagelin broke down 2-on-1 with Brian Boyle and rifled a shot past a stunned Brodeur for a shorthanded goal which gave the visitors a two goal cushion. It marked the 10th shorthanded goal surrendered by the Devils this season, the most given up by any team in the league.

Gaborik put the icing on the cake with an empty net goal in the final 4 seconds of the game. The two goal game gives Gaborik 19 on the season after netting just 22 last year.

The two teams are battling for playoff position in the NHL’s Eastern Conference and will meet up several more times before the year is over.

Upon the death of Jerry Garcia in 1995, the Grateful Dead’s time officially came to an end. Founding members rightfully decided that it just is not the Grateful Dead without Garcia.

Over the years the surviving members have toured in various incarnations because, as any DeadHead knows, THE MUSIC NEVER STOPPED!

The latest variation includes rhythm guitarist Bob Weir and bassist Phil Lesh in a band named FURTHUR, the name taken from the famous Ken Kesey bus.

Playing old Grateful Dead favorites with Dark Star Orchestra guitarist John Kadlecik admirably taking on the “Jerry parts”, Furthur has been touring for two years now and the fans really enjoy their sound.

In addition to the expected Grateful Dead tunes, Furthur also has dusted off some long-lost Dead numbers and thrown in a wide range of covers. Some of the materials they’ve played are from bands such as The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, The Band, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Ryan Adams, Van Morrison and The Clash.

Furthur has scheduled an east coast tour in 2012 including an eight night stand at the Beacon Theatre in New York City. Furthur will play the Beacon on April 9, 10, 12, 13, 14, 15, 17 & 18.

Fans of Furthur, the Grateful Dead, RatDog and Jam Band music in general will be thrilled to hear these songs played live once again. Don’t miss these legends of rock n roll live in concert at the Beacon Theatre. Find Furthur tickets today.

On Monday, the New Jersey Devils traded forward Rod Pelley and defenseman Mark Fraser to the Anaheim Ducks in return for defenseman Kurtis Foster and minor league goalie Timo Pielmeier. The deal also included a 7th round draft pick going to the Ducks in 2012.

Pelley went scoreless in the seven games played for the Devils this season, while Fraser went scoreless in four games played. The combined salaries for Pelley and Fraser, who will both be unrestricted free agents after this season, total $1.25 million.

Foster, in his seventh NHL season, has only played in nine games this season for Anaheim. He missed the first six games of this season recovering from thigh surgery. In those nine games he accrued only two points and eight penalty minutes. The Devils will be looking to Foster for help on their power play. 22 year old goalie, Timo Pielmeier, has been in Elmira (ECHL). He appeared in 10 games this season with a 3.45 GAA.

With these additions,Pete DeBoer will need to make roster moves when center Travis Zajac and defenseman Anton Volchenkov are soon taken off IR.

“I think we get a pretty good acquisition very soon in Travis Zajac, who will be back soon and Anton should be back by the end of the week,” Lamoriello said. “When you have such quality individuals (like Pelley and Fraser) who’ve given you so much each and every day in practice and in the locker room as support, you try and do the best for them. This is a win situation for both teams. They’re getting two role players who will be tremendous for them and we’re getting a player who has tremendous upside in the role we see that he’ll fit.”

The NHL Board of Governors revealed a plan to do away with the current 15-team Eastern and Western conferences and their three sub-divisions. Their plan is to now have four conferences.

This new alignment does have its benefits. It will increase regional rivalries and competition for playoff spots, in addition to decreasing travel time for teams out West. The alignment will also guarantee home-and-home series among all teams.

The new look conferences, which have yet to be named, are as follows:

1. New Jersey Devils, Philadelphia Flyers, Pittsburgh Penguins, New York Rangers, New York Islanders, Washington Capitals, Carolina Hurricanes
2. Boston Bruins, Montreal Canadiens, Toronto Maple Leafs, Ottawa Senators, Buffalo Sabres, Florida Panthers, Tampa Bay Lightning
3. Detroit Red Wings, Columbus Blue Jackets, Nashville Predators, St. Louis Blues, Chicago Blackhawks, Minnesota Wild, Dallas Stars, Winnipeg Jets.
4. Los Angeles Kings, Anaheim Ducks, Phoenix Coyotes, San Jose Sharks, Vancouver Canucks, Calgary Flames, Edmonton Oilers, Colorado Avalanche.

Based on statistics, the Rangers, Devils and Islanders are set to do battle in the most difficult of the four new conferences. Since the 2004-05 season, the teams in this new conference have combined to send 27 teams to the playoffs. This is the highest percentage out of all the new conferences. These same teams have also averaged 92.2 points in the standings over that same time period as well, another best out of the new conferences.

With this new alignment, only four out of the seven teams in the conference the New Jersey Devils and New York Rangers are in will make the playoffs. This will make the intra-conference rivalries even more intense than they already are!

Jesus Christ Superstar, a musical written by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice, will be coming to Broadway after a completely sold out, critically praised, extended run at the Stratford Shakespeare Festival in Canada. Des McAnuff, a two-time Tony Award winning director, brings a bold, new vision to the classic rock opera. McAnuff puts a totally new twist on Jesus Christ Superstar, playing on Rice’s concept of a romantic triangle between Jesus, Mary and Judas.

When asked about the love triangle twist, McAnuff replied, “It’s very much there in the album already. Tim has talked about the love triangle, but I added the term “secular love triangle” since one of the show’s amazing achievements is that they look at Christ as a man. It’s undeniable he was one of the most remarkable people who graced the planet. Even if you don’t believe he was the son of God, it tells an inspiring and human story.”

Although casting has not yet been announced, it is expected that much of the original Stratford cast will be reclaiming their roles on Broadway.

The musical, about the last days of Jesus’ life, will begin preview performances on March 1, 2012 at Broadway’s Neil Simon Theater. Jesus Christ Superstar will open on Broadway on Andrew Lloyd Webber’s 64th birthday, March 22, 2012.

Jesus Christ Superstar first opened on Broadway in 1971. As it happens, Jesus Christ Superstar won’t be the only religious musical on Broadway this season. A new production of another ’70s musical, Stephen Schwartz’s “Godspell,” opened earlier this fall at the Circle In The Square Theatre.

Every year since 1933 the Radio City Christmas Spectacular has been thrilling holiday revelers with their exciting show filled with dance numbers and holiday magic.

Featuring the World Famous Rockettes dancers and the big man himself, Santa Claus, the Radio City Christmas Spectacular is a holiday tradition right in the heart of New York City.

Visitors travel from far and wide to visit New York at this time of year. With the Christmas tree at Rockefeller Center right across the street, Radio City Music Hall gets a lot of crowds this time of year. That is why they hold several performances per day, and they still sell out most shows!

If you are near New York City, heading there this holiday season or are even thinking about it, you are best served ordering your Radio City Christmas Spectacular tickets in advance. Countless disappointed fans are turned away daily at the door due to sold out performances. Buy in advance and get ready for the most exciting show of the season in the greatest city in the world.

This year they have added new numbers and thrilling 3D special effects but have not strayed from the true meaning of the Christmas Spectacular show, instead they have enhanced it. See this all new and wonderful extravaganza before it is too late, the final performance is quickly approaching and you will have to wait until the end of 2012 to get another chance to experience the magic.

Following last night’s victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins, the New York Rangers are on fire with 3 consecutive victories and 7 in a row on home ice. The Rangers appear to finally be putting it all together at Madison Square Garden, fans will recall that over the past several years the Rangers have had a rough go of it at MSG but this season they have so far been able to own their building. The Garden Faithful have been rocking this season, too!

Only three points behind Pittsburgh for first place in the Eastern Conference and with 4 games in hand on the Penguins, it cannot be stressed enough just how important it was for the Rangers to win last night’s game. Storming out to a 4-1 lead in the second period on goals by Marian Gaborik, John Mitchell, Brad Richards and Ryan Callahan, the Rangers surrendered a late 2nd period goal to the Pens and held on for their lives in the 3rd period to squeeze out the regulation time victory. Points in the standings are important no matter what time of year it is as the conference is tight and every season the playoff spots aren’t decided until the final games of the year. It would be nice for a change to see the NY Rangers head into the last month of the season with some breathing room instead of fighting tooth and nail just to reach the playoffs.

The NHL season is already 25% complete and the Rangers are looking to continue their strong play into the next 21 games. They are among the stingiest defenses in the league so far and all of this has been done without All-Star shutdown defenseman Marc Staal in the lineup. Staal has yet to play a game this season as he deals with post-concussion symptoms but a positive sign was revealed this week as he has started light skating at the Rangers practice facility. If the Rangers can add their all-star defenseman to the already formidable current lineup, it can be nothing but a huge bonus for the team.

Be among the most passionate fans in hockey, see the Rangers dominate on home ice at historic Madison Square Garden by ordering New York Rangers tickets today!

The National Hockey League’s fifth annual Winter Classic game will be played in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania at Citizens Bank Park, home of the Philadelphia Phillies. The Philadelphia Flyers will square off against their long-time Atlantic Division rivals, the New York Rangers on Monday, January 2, 2012.

An alumni game between former Flyers and Rangers players is scheduled for December 31st. The game will be broadcast live by Versus.

The Rangers shut out the Flyers yesterday when the two franchises met for the first time this season. This win was New York’s sixth straight victory at home. This is their best Madison Square Garden start in nearly 20 years.

The scoreless first period featured a bout at center ice 4 seconds into the game between New York’s Brandon Prust and Philadelphia’s Zac Rinaldo.

”It’s been a long time coming and we’ve been waiting for it. The game was a little more in the spotlight and everyone is looking forward to this Winter Classic,” said Prust, referring to the outdoor game at Citizens Bank Ballpark in Philadelphia. ”It always feels a little more like a playoff atmosphere with Philadelphia.”

Rangers’ rookie Carl Hagelin, playing in his second NHL game, netted his first career goal 5 minutes into the third period.

”I’m just going out and playing my game,” Hagelin said. ”The puck bounced out to me and I just whacked it in.” It was the Rangers’ third-straight win against the Flyers, dating back to last season, outscoring Philadelphia 12-2 in those contests. This was only the third loss this season for the Flyers on the road. The Rangers will also host the Flyers at Madison Square Garden on Dec. 23, a little over a week before the Winter Classic.

It appears unlikely that New York Jets running back, LaDainian Tomlinson, will play in the team’s game against the Buffalo Bills. Tomlinson did not practice all week because of a sprained medial collateral ligament that has already caused him to miss one game. Tomlinson was hurt against New England two weeks ago. Tomlinson watched his team play on television in their last game against Denver for the first time in his NFL career.

“It’s never fun to have injuries,” Tomlinson said, adding that his knee is “100 percent better” than it was earlier in the week. “It’s one of those things where we always feel like we can play, even though we’re injured. Sometimes it hurts us to go out there and play injured, but that’s what we do. And when you can’t play, it does make you down. That’s kind of where I am right now.”

The Jets and the Bills, both with 5-5 records, are looking for a victory on Sunday to keep pace in the AFC playoff race. Neither of these teams can afford to lose. The Jets won the first meeting 27-11 in Week 9.

Jeremy Kerley, rookie wide receiver, is also questionable for the game after not practicing all week with a similar injury.

After a 17-10 loss to the Eagles, their NFC East divisional rivals, the Giants are on a two-game losing streak and are heading into a Monday night meeting at New Orleans. The Giants are tied with Dallas for the lead in the division but if they don’t improve their running game they could be well on their way to a second-half collapse, which seems to be the norm in recent years. In 2009 the Giants started the season 5-0 and ended 8-8. Last season they opened 6-2 and ended with a 10-6 record, losing two out of the three final games.

The Giants have six games left in the regular season so they need to pull themselves together quickly. However, with their upcoming schedule, it may not be that easy of a task to pull off. After the Monday night meeting with New Orleans (7-3), the Giants return home for a meeting against the undefeated Green Bay Packers (10-0).

“It’s put up or shut up,” Rolle said. “At the end of the day, I am not trying to be sitting at home come the first week of January, watching these other teams that I know are not better than us go on. We’re a great team. We know we’re a great team. We have to go out there and prove it.”

The fans know and the New York Giants know that they are better than the game vs Philadelphia indicates but they’re going to have to really bring it in the closing weeks to hold on to first place and reach the playoffs. I think they can do it, do you? Let us know what you think in the comments below and head over here if you’re looking for New York Giants tickets.

The top five events on SelectATicket.com change from week to week. It is interesting to keep track of what’s hot and what tickets people really want to acquire. The hottest shows for the past week were:

1. Big East Tournament Tickets
2. Roger Waters The Wall Live Tickets
3. New York Giants Tickets
4. NHL Winter Classic Tickets
5. Radio City Christmas Spectacular Tickets

With college basketball underway, fans are making plans for the 2012 Big East Tournament. Roger Waters is back in North America with The Wall Live tour, the NY Giants are fighting to remain in 1st place of the NFC East, the NHL Winter Classic is one of the hottest tickets in the game and of course with Thanksgiving just days away, everyone knows that is followed by the Christmas season and Radio City Christmas Spectacular tickets are on every child’s list this year!

The Book of Mormon is a religious satire musical by the team of Trey Parker, Robert Lopez, and Matt Stone. Trey Parker and Matt Stone are best known for creating the animated comedy “South Park”. Robert Lopez is co-creator, composer and lyricist of Avenue Q, which won 2004 Tony Awards for Best Musical and Best Score.

The Book of Mormon, which premiered on Broadway in March 2011, satirizes organized religion and musical theatre. The show is about two naive missionaries who venture from Salt Lake City to AIDS-ravaged Uganda in the hopes of converting villagers with the story of Joseph Smith and the founding of the Mormon Church.

The duo is not prepared for what they find in northern Uganda: Warlords, famine, AIDS and cynicism. They begin to question their faith which, in turn, threatens to break up their partnership until a young woman chooses to believe their promise of salvation and persuades the village to listen as well. The most valuable and entertaining lessons are the ones that these two learn along their journey.

The show has garnered numerous awards, including nine Tony Awards. The show’s creators described The Book of Mormon as “an atheist’s love letter to religion.”

Find Book of Mormon tickets today and see this very popular musical that everyone is talking about.

As week 11 in the 2011-2012 NFL is now underway following Thursday night’s 17-13 Broncos victory over the Jets, the other New York team is looking to put more distance between themselves and the other teams in their division.

The New York Giants are currently sitting atop the NFC East standings with a record of 6 wins and 3 losses. The Dallas Cowboys are in second place with a record of 5-4 and the division is rounded out by Philadelphia and Washington with identical 3-6 records.

The Giants host the Eagles Sunday night at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford. Earlier this season, in week 3, the New York Giants defeated the Philadelphia Eagles by a score of 29-16.

Earlier in the day, the Cowboys visit the Washington Redskins. The Cowboys are also looking to add some separation from the pack in the NFC East and turn it into a twp-team race against the Giants.

Philadelphia and Washington are in desperate need of putting together significant winning streaks to save their respective seasons.

The Eagles may be without starting quarterback Michael Vick who suffered broken ribs in last week’s game. The Eagles are being coy up to this about in terms of revealing his availability but reports indicate that practices this week featured backups Vince Young and Mike Kafka preparing for the Giants. It is still unclear which player will get the start but with their season all but on the line, entering this final stretch with a backup as your starter cannot be a great feeling for the Eagles and their fans.

Sunday night’s matchup will be a major influencing factor on the NFC East standings. The Giants need to hold server with Dallas to maintain their lead. If Dallas wins in the afternoon, the Giants need to win at night to maintain their current lead.

There are still some good New York Giants tickets available for Sunday’s game and every home game for the rest of the season.

Joel Osteen, famous pastor of the Lakewood Ministries, is bringing his preachings to the road. With only a few select dates scheduled so far, Joel Osteen tickets are likely to be in high demand as the chance to see him and experience his preachings live are very limited.

Taking over the preaching for Lakewood Ministries from his father, Joel Osteen has grown into one of the most popular televangelists in the world. over 7 million viewers reportedly tune in to his weekly show world-wide.

Often taking a less biblically-focused approach to preaching and instead stressing the power of love and positive attitude, Joel Osteen has become a tremendous success.

Typically opening his show with some good, clean jokes, Osteen sets the crowd at ease right off the bat and the positivity flows through the crowd all throughout the show until conclusion. The feeling watching it on television is great, imagine being there in person?! It must be a wonderful experience that you will never forget, unlike anything else you’ve ever done!

Appearances are currently scheduled for Orlando, Seattle, Honolulu and Washington D.C.

Seating is limited at all engagements, find Joel Osteen tickets now.

The New York Jets are in a three-way tie atop the AFC East, along with the New England Patriots and the Buffalo Bills. If the Jets want to be in control of the division race, they must win when they face the Patriots on Sunday night for the second time this season at MetLife Stadium.

The Jets recently reestablished themselves as a running team. However, Sanchez’s efficiency is now up. During the first four weeks of the season, Sanchez completed 55.1 percent of his passes and had a passer rating of 75.9. Over the four games since, Sanchez’s completion percentage jumped up to 60.7 and his passer rating was 94.7 — second in the AFC for that time frame, behind Pittsburgh Steelers’ Ben Roethlisberger.

Last week in a 27-11 win over the Bills, New York ran the ball 39 times for 126 yards. The Jets were able to hold the football for over a full quarter longer (15 minutes, 44 seconds) than Buffalo. This season, the Jets are 4-0 when they have run the ball at least 26 times.

“Early in the year, we were doing a lot of run-action and it just wasn’t getting the sell that we wanted because we weren’t running the ball as well,” Sanchez said. “Once the running game becomes a huge factor like it is right now, teams are trying to get another hat in there, another player in there to stop the run, and that’s opened things up on the outside.”

This is a battle for tops in the division; you don’t want to miss this game!

The New York Rangers extended their winning streak to 5 on Wednesday night with a 3-2 victory over the Ottawa Senators. This fifth straight win for the Rangers was also the fourth loss in a row for Ottawa. Extending his point streak to 4 games, Marian Gaborik scored twice. Derek Stepan had a goal and two assists. The Rangers’ top line of Artem Anisimov, Derek Stepan and Marian Gaborik combined for all seven of the Rangers’ points.

“I think we feel pretty good out there,” Gaborik said. “Arty and Step are playing with a lot of confidence. We scored a couple of goals off great forechecks by those guys. Hopefully we can keep it up.”

The Rangers were outshot by Ottawa, 31-19. Henrik Lundqvist stopped 29 shots for New York (8-3-3), which hit the road for the first time since a 4-1-1 homestand. This was Lundqvist’s fifth win of the season. The Rangers haven’t lost since Oct. 29 when Ottawa rallied from a third period three-goal deficit and won 5-4 in a shootout.

Daniel Alfredsson, the Senators captain, missed his fifth straight game because of a concussion. Alfredsson was injured on a hit to the head by Rangers forward Wojtek Wolski when the teams previously met. The hit drew a minor penalty for Wolski but no supplemental discipline.

Sean Avery had his first fight of the season when gloves were dropped in the first period against Zenon Konopka, a former Islander. Konopka leads the league with 59 penalty minutes.

Adam Henrique scored game-winning goals in two straight games, becoming the first Devils’ rookie to do this since Patrik Elias in 1997. Henrique was recalled from Albany on Oct. 22nd and has since had four goals in the last 3 Devils’ games.

“The kid has a knack for big goals,” coach Pete DeBoer said. “He’s got the personality where pressure situations don’t seem to faze him.”

With injuries to center Travis Zajac (left Achilles tendon) and Jacob Josefson (broken right clavicle) Henrique was given the opportunity to show exactly why the Devils made him their third-round choice in the 2008 Draft.

Henrique has also proven to be an asset in many other ways. He has blocked 10 shots, delivered nine hits and won 54 of 104 draws (51.9 percent) in 10 games this season.

“I’m comfortable with the position I play and having linemates like Zach is great,” Henrique said. “He can stay down low … he knows what I’m going to do and we fill in for each other. That’s another thing that contributes to our success as a line. We can all play every position, there’s nothing to worry about when we are switched.”

Henrique finished with a team-leading 25 goals and was second with 50 points in 73 games with the Devils’ American Hockey League affiliate in Albany last season. He won back-to-back Memorial Cup titles with the Windsor Spitfires of the Ontario Hockey League in 2009 and ’10. Henrique also won a silver medal with Team Canada at the 2010 World Junior Championship.

After demoting super pest Sean Avery to the minors during a pre-season trip to Europe, the New York Rangers have recalled the agitator from the AHL Connecticut Whale.

Being a veteran, Avery had to pass through re-entry waivers. While there was slight concern the rival New York Islanders might put in a claim just for PR purposes, Avery cleared through all the other teams in the league and is back on the New York Rangers’ roster. Avery is not expected to be in the lineup tonight when the Rangers faceoff against the Anaheim Ducks as head coach John Tortorella understandably wants to stick with a winning lineup. The Rangers convincingly defeated the San Jose Sharks 5-2 on Monday.

Avery may return to the lineup Saturday night at Madison Square Garden versus Original Six rivals the Montreal Canadiens. The New York Rangers fans are largely split on their opinion of Avery.

There are fans who believe he is overrated and a distraction, having scored only 3 goals last year and spending a large amount of his time in the penalty box. Other fans see him for the galvanizing force that he can be at times, playing his rambunctious style to liven the crowd and inspire his team.

Either way, you can bet that Sean Avery’s return to MSG will not be uneventful!

New York Rangers tickets are an interesting item this year for fans of the Broadway Blueshirts as Madison Square Garden is in the midst of a renovation.

So if you love the New York Rangers or just seeing hockey in general, snag yourself some New York Rangers tickets!

1. New York Red Bulls Tickets

4. NHL Winter Classic Tickets

Check back next week to see what events make this week’s Top 5 Events on SelectATicket.com.

Following a seven game road trip to open the season which took them from Sweden to Long Island to western Canada and finally back to Manhattan, the New York Rangers had their first home game at Madison Square Garden last night. Undergoing major renovations for the next few years, Phase I of the Madison Square Garden makeover is complete and ready to host the Broadway Blueshirts for the 2011-2012 season.

While the homecoming was a disappointing 4-2 loss to fellow Original Six team the Toronto Maple Leafs, the NY Rangers are glad to be off the road and back in New York. Their next home game is tomorrow afternoon, a 3pm start versus the Ottawa Senators. Surely a bid road-weary, the Rangers hope to put the loss to Toronto behind them and get back on the winning side of the ledger.

Star goaltender Henrik Lundqvist has been strong in the early goings this season and sniper Marian Gaborik has been the best forward on the team. All Star defenseman Marc Staal is out with post-concussion symptoms and cannot be counted on returning to the lineup anytime soon. In his absence, Dan Girardi has stepped up his game to hold down the blueline but he cannot do it alone. If Staal is going to be out much longer, the Rangers are going to have to look to make a trade for a top 4 defenseman to take his place in the lineup.

Aside from Gaborik, newly acquired center Brad Richards has played well and team captain Ryan Callahan has been his usual physical self. Brandon Prust and Brian Boyle continue their strong play from last season and Ruslan Fedotenko has done everything the team has asked of him and performed well. The rest of the top six forwards need to pick up the scoring however if the Rangers are going to have a shot at going anywhere this season. They need their top two lines to be offensive threats and the power play must be better than last season.

With Ludqvist in goal, a healthy Gaborik and a productive Richards, this team has the potential to go places and fans at Madison Square Garden know it. Among the most passionate fans in hockey, New York Rangers fans do not let the team take a night off. The atmosphere at the revamped Garden is going to be electric as fans sense this team is ready to take the next step into the upper echelon of NHL clubs.
