Tons of seats still for sale for tonight's game.

If you take into account the astronomical fees Ticketmaster charges, there's a lot of season ticket holders who are selling tickets tonight at a loss.

I'm seeing 480 per seat in upper bowl, Leafs side...nah

That's actually (frank)ing horrendous.

A total of 3 Saturday games, combined for all series. And 2 of them are only if the series gets that far. And none for the Leafs. Laughable scheduling.

- GreatGigInTheSky

My dream is to have the Leafs meet the Canucks in the Stanley Cup finals, and the league forces game seven to be played in Vancouver at 4 pm.

No, seriously, that's my dream.

Did you know Vancouver Island has the highest concentration of cougars in the world? I'm learning things about North American big cats.

From the tweeter

"Each additional Leafs game in round 2 is worth around $7-10M in ad revenue for Sportsnet

Everyone at Rogers is a Leafs fan for the next few weeks"

Bring in bowen and ralph ffs.

They will be with the team for home and away games broadcasted on the radio

I find it difficult to feel any botheration about WHEN the Leafs are playing in the second round, just happy it's happening during my lifetime.

Its just a hard thing to mess up

Just strange you don't have Leafs Friday or Saturday night.

For standing room...I mean, I'd probably want to stand a lot of the time, but still...I could buy a lot of kumquats for that.

If standing room had good views, I'd love it.

The last two Blue Jays games I've been to, we went straight to the flight deck - I never saw my seat.

Do you trust Bunting to be on the ice with Tkachuk?

I kind of do after his responsible game 6. Keefe will have a sense plus playing with RoR and Atari has to have some influence ...I think.

The Maple Leafs plan to honour the life of Gordon Lightfoot tonight, but not with a pre-game ceremony. Likely, the Leafs will recognize the legendary Canadian at one of the first-period timeouts.

Loved Irbe.

Except, of course, when he was with San Jose, and almost single-handedly knocked the Leafs out of the playoffs.

I always imagine him living somewhere in Latvia, in some huge castle, with the money he saved by never buying a new set of pads or helmet.

- Atomic Wedgie


He crushed our hearts in Carolina back in 2002. Literally stole the series. I think the Leafs scored 6 goals in 6 games.

For me that was the year the Leafs were "supposed" to get to the show. Redwings would have beat us up in the Cup final but (frank) me we were good and should have beaten the Canes. Irbe was ridiculous.

The league bent over backwards for Florida with not wanting to put Florida and Heat on the same days.

It would be like having the leafs and raptors on the same night if they played in separate buildings...no one would care about the Raps besides a few die hards

- Santo_44


It's all world stupidity.

Just more confirmation that the Panthers being relocated should be second on the list behind the Yotes for the NHL.

I do do too, up to a point. It’s just that I generally worry that Tkachuk becomes too much of an issue and the team focuses on him instead of playing their own game. Bunting and him together is a bit of a recipe for hijinks

I am sure Panthers ownership likes the 2 day break and Sunday night game so less of a chance for leaf fans to be there.

Also I read the Panthers owner owns something in the races Saturday night? Idk...its stupid

I can't believe the Leafs 7th game of the playoffs is against another team.

Or more like they get to play a 7th game.

Just another part of the Bettman conspiracy

I imagine the US tv partners, who both carry the NBA, had a say in the scheduling, too. Not to mention F1 is racing around Dolphin Stadium this weekend. Traffic going to be a nightmare down there this weekend, I can see that being taken into consideration, as well.

I had a plane ticket, hotel room and game ticket for game 7.

Can’t believe we lost game 6.

SN pays a lot of money for the Leafs playoff coverage

7-10M in ad revenue per game...yeah its important to have the leafs on Saturday night, the very least Friday night.

F1 race is on Sunday, so they will be competing against it.

The race they are avoiding is the Kentucky Derby.
