I won seats too, but just got the email
I'm up in the bleeds (Was there for games 2 and 5) And you don't have to go for the mad rush 2 hours before game time (unless you need some extra drinking time).
Go about 1 hour before, and you'll find 6th row + and good location. If you show up 10 minutes before the puck drop, you'll be touching the saddle.
BEAWARE:
Make sure you find out which zone is which. There is a difference between the general and sport zones. They have security checking tickets at the top, and if your not in the right zone, they'll send you across the dome, and you have to hike up 15,000 stairs again. We did this during the mad rush, went to the wrong end, rushed over to the other side, got 2 wicked seats... and the 2 next to us didn't fill until about 45-30 mins before the game.
Its really tricky.
