In this week’s edition of Map Monday we turn to the ice as we’re introducing 12 NHL arenas (10 were spawned during our first Map Monday). Unfortunately, my knowledge of NHL arenas and teams (this season) isn’t very extensive. To make up for the dearth of one-liners associated with each venue, I’ve included a video of the best NHL hit of the season below. Also, Alex Ovechkin > Sidney Crosby. Don’t worry, I’ll have plenty of jokes for the MLB version of Map Monday especially if I can convince my unemployed/homeless friend Bolden to help out. Now let’s meet the stars:

BankAtlantic Center – Florida Panthers

Bell Centre – Montreal Canadiens

Honda Center – Anaheim Ducks

HP Pavilion At San Jose Arena – San Jose Sharks

HSBC Arena – Buffalo Sabres

Joe Louis Arena – Detroit Red Wings (TicketStumbler’s team of choice)

Mellon Arena – Pittsburgh Penguins

Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum – New York Islanders

Nationwide Arena – Columbus Blue Jackets

Prudential Center – New Jersey Devils

Scotiabank Place – Ottawa Senators

Sommet Center – Nashville Predators

Upon the completion of today’s Map Monday, TicketStumbler will now have interactive maps for all NBA arenas as well as their NHL, WWE, Concert and yes, Monster Truck manifestations. They’re sort of like Transformers without the breaking shit part. SPOILERS: Stay tuned for more Hockey loving next week. Now let’s meet the stars:

New Orleans Arena – The Hornets, who play here, have been one of the better teams this season and Chris Paul is dreamy.

Palace of Auburn Hills – Home of DEEEEEEEEETROIT BASKETBAAAAAAAALL! The Pistons traded one of the most efficient guards in basketball (Chauncey Billups) for one of the least efficient (Allen Iverson). Since then they’ve tumbled from the top of the Eastern standings and could even be a *gasp* lottery team.

Quicken Loans Arena – The Q is where the Cleveland Cavaliers are currently undefeated at home.  Unfortunately, Cleveland the city is struggling as they can’t sell out their games even when the best team (and player) are playing there. New York could be in store for the King.

Rose Garden – Home of the team formerly known as the Jail Blazers is actually staying clean and playing to sold out crowds.

Target Center – Ah the Target Center, where the Timberwolves pretend to be a basketball team and Kevin McHale pretends to be a GM. However, since McHale became coach, the team has become much more watchable.

The Oracle Arena – The Golden State Warriors’ stomping grounds. No one knows what’s going on with them or why they have so many swingman. At least they score a lot of points.

Time Warner Cable Arena – One of the best places to catch of glimpse of Michael Jordan.

Toyota Center – The Rockets’ season has been injury plagued – same story, different season. I still love this video of Yao Ming; I’m glad to see he’s picking up the finer parts of English.

US Airways Center – Ah the Phoenix Suns, one of those basketball teams that looks great on paper until you realize almost everyone is old, no one plays defense and all the players miss former coach Mike D’Antoni’s mustache. Oh and SHAQ IS ON TWITTER.

TicketStumbler will now be introducing new maps every Monday now through at least the beginning of baseball season. That’s right folks, from the makers of When TicketStumbler Met Livingston, Compare Contrast Profit, You Ruined Ashley’s Sunday Funday and OH THE HORROR, we’re pleased to bring you weekly map updates to improve your ticket buying mojo.  We have 10 new NBA & Concert venues. Some of them even feature monster truck events and WWE Wrestling if you’re in to the whole breaking stuff and grappling thing. Finally, this past week we were fortunate enough to appear in the Financial Times’ Hungry Start-Ups on a Drastic Diet and the Boston Globes’ Best of the New 2009. Now on to the list!

American Airlines Arena – Yeah the Miami Heat traded Hack-A-Shaq who happens to be on twitter (where he laments about his poor free throw shooting and spelling ability), but Dwyane Wade is pure entertainment even if Shaq spelled his name for him.

Amway Arena – Named after an  MLM company, Amway hosts the Orlando Magic featuring the beast/superman that is Dwight Howard.

Arco Arena – Unfortunately the Kings are having a season to forget. But, if you’re in to wrestling there’s a WWE event in February and if you’re a teeny bopper, Britney Spears is coming in April.

ATT Center – This is where the Spurs play. Spurs legend Tim Duncan has never committed a foul in a home game…according to…Tim Duncan. It’s also located in one of Mark Cuban’s favorite cities.

Bradley Center – Home of the Milwaukee Bucks and Marquette Golden Eagles. I went to the University of Dayton so I’ll remain silent about one of our biggest rivals.

Conseco Fieldhouse – Where the Indiana Pacers score lots of points and Larry Bird stares on blankly. Hey, at least they’re fun to watch.

Energy Solutions Arena – If you live in Salt Lake City, there’s not exactly an abundance of things to do. If you’re not in to basketball, there’s other awesome good events like Celine Dion & the Rascal Flatts with Jessica Simpson.

Fedex Forum – The Grizzlies traded their best player away for Kwame Brown and a bag of donuts; the bag of donuts provided more utility. Needless to say, they won’t be making the playoffs this year. In less depressing news, the Memphis Tigers, who also play at the Forum should make the NCAA tourney.

Ford Center – The Ford Center hosts the team formerly known as the Seattle SuperSonics. They have the worst record in the NBA this year – ahh karmic justice.

Izod Center – Hosts the New Jersey Nets and oddly, the New Jersey Devils’ playoff games. The Nets are mediocre, likely won’t land LeBron and reside in one of the worst states, but Devin Harris rocks and is worth the price of admission.
