If you guys want to label them as unproven go ahead..

but theres a 99% chance they'll be really (frank)ing good.

I dunno, Ill go on a limb and say Panther fans are not jealous, they are stacked and you can get 4 tickets, 4 beers 4 hotdogs and parking and a program guide and a after game meet and greet for 25 Loonies

Attendance figures on their own mean jack-squat.

Attendance X average ticket price = meaningful metric.

It's also in a spot in Montreal where ownership does not reap the big benefits of location. The Air Canada Centre with all the Maple Leaf Owned bars, restaurants etc Real Sports - take in lots of cash - is it more than an extra five thousand seats would bring. Possibly. Completely different animal.

I've always wondered why there aren't more LeafsSports bars around town.

Seems to me to be a pretty easy thing to make a buck or two from.

Get the alumni associations involved.

"Come watch the Leafs game at RealSports Thornhill - meet Dixon Ward and Stu Gavin!"

"See the Raptors play the Heat on Saturday night at RealSports Eglinton - meet the Junk Yard Dog (note: the basketball one, not the wrestling one)."

Hell, I'd go pay $12 for a pint of beer if I could get Stu Gavin's autograph.

Sadly, they have cancelled the deal where you got a free ticket if you had a valid Florida government-issued ID, like a driver's licence.

No, I am not making that up.

Last place team finished like 5th or 6th in attendance

19,158 average


Hawks had 21k avg

- poohcrumbs


Attendance in number is irrelevant - some stadiums hold more than others. Toronto was 3rd in league attendance last year with 101.8%, first was Minnesota at 113.2 % and 2nd was Chicago at 110.9 %

Also obscuring attendance fees are teams like Arizona that sell 4 tickets a food and drinks for under $100.00 to get asses in seats.

Shannon is a moron and talks out of his ass most times. He has an obvious hate on for the Leafs so don't take a word he says with any seriousness.

First off, RNH is worth jack poop on the trade market, he's probably worth slightly more than Bozak which isn't saying much. Edmonton needs to hit the reset button, overpay in a huge way for an impact D.

Lets take LA for example...

great team.. Maybe the best defencman in the league..

but.. they have greatly underachieved the past 2 years..

Their captain sucks, they are in cap trouble..

Id be more excited to be a Leafs fan than a Kings fan right now.

No - I bet their owners are pretty jealous though - they are 30th of 30 in terms of Team Revenue and net worth as a franchise.

The true measure of a lousy franchise and its ability to stay in that market - without fear of being moved to Quebec, Las Vegas or elsewhere is their ability to make profit.

Here's the rest of that group of lucky fans

#29 Arizona
#28 Carolina
#27 Columbus
#26 Nashville
#25 Tampa

Any player coming up for free agency from one of these teams also knows this and it will be make it harder for these teams to retain their services for obvious reasons.

Ehlers really came on at the end of last year. Nylander looks good also.

I like Winnipeg's future as much as Toronto's. But I like them both a lot.

Laine...is awesome...well...unless Toronto picks him. Then he's just pretty good.
