Is that bad thing?
I do agree that it’s hard to put a price on memories. I was one of the lucky people who won tickets to the Olympics in Vancouver for one of the semi final games. Rather than go I sold the tickets, made a lot of money but it ended up being the game Canada beat Russia at. It sure would have been awesome to have been there, looking back now I do regret selling them.

On the flip side I paid a bunch of money in 2012 to go to the Stanley cup final in LA (game 4) and I would not have changed that for anything, amazing memories. If I would have been there to see LA win the cup that would have ranked up there with the days my kids were born. But thanks to Henrique busting down the wing and ripping that goal past Quick it wasn’t meant to be...
