Early market: cheapest pair of tickets for tomorrow night’s game is $638 per ticket.

For $3,313 each, you can sit on the glass next to the Leafs’ bench.

Fans were absolutely horrible in Game 5 from the start.

This is incorrect.

Source: I was there.

Pro-tip: if you’ve never been to a Leafs game, you have no idea what the crowd noise was like.

Was the Nobleton Legion Hall loud?

You knew I’d never change
And it’s been five long years and I love you
Just the same

Do you think there was an offer on the table for Marner to sign? If anything, I’d imagine MLSE was waiting to see how the playoffs went before giving him all the money x8 and trade protection.

From what I heard on the radio (so take it with a grain of salt), MLSE wanted to get a deal done before the trade deadline. Marner’s camp said they weren’t talking new contracts until after the season, so MLSE felt they needed to protect themselves by trading him.

Wow, I didn’t think I would see Leeman on anyone’s list!

Gilmour was my favourite. I think of his compete level in the playoffs, and compare it to the horsepoop I saw Wednesday night – really hammers home how much he wanted to win, and how much of himself he was willing to give to try to get us there. When I got my first career-path job, I went down to Doug Laurie Sports in Maple Leaf Gardens, and bought myself a Dougie jersey with my first pay cheque. It was $60. I wore it Wednesday night to the game.

Vaive will always hold a special place in my heart, because he was a neighbour, and I was his paperboy.

Palmateer would also be on the list. He grew up in my neighbourhood, and his acrobatic style was something every kid my age mimicked when playing goalie in road hockey.

Bonus favourite: Bryan McCabe. He truly loved playing in Toronto – and had a great, fun attitude. FFS, he had a blue mohawk!!! It wasn’t his fault the Leafs gave him a contract he couldn’t live up to (he told them he wouldn’t sign a new contract until his wife’s health problems were cleared up, and the idiots at MLSE just kept giving him bigger offers).

i guess it’s not pro. pros raced there but i was just there on nights when normal people paid to race their cars. my 1982 toyota corolla took like 22 seconds to get through the quarter mile. i thought it would never get there.

it was called atco raceway but it’s closed now.

So if you want to go with the original criteria, it’s kinda “any sporting event where you had to pay admission – and hopefully be able to buy a souvenir pint glass to prove you were there.”

Getting tickets for free still counts – as long as they had some sort of monetary value.

There are probably some young kids scratching their heads right now.

I would not have believed Marner would walk for nothing, until recently. It would surprise no one if he decided he was done with the circus and the failure and wanted a new start.

My uneducated guess is that management asking him to waive his NTC changed everything – the organization has no loyalty to him, so why should he feel any loyalty to MLSE?

He’s gone.

[Atomic Wedgie]

I wont be watching the game but Marner and matthews have an opportunity to change the narrative around them.
If the leafs lose, get rid of both.

Until I hear otherwise, I strongly believe that Matthews is hurt.

I was at the game where Winfield hit the seagull. Only people who were there will know what Winfield did the next inning. – Aethsie

Don’t leave us hanging!!!

Numerous curling events in Edmonton. Which if I do say these are the best events. See the guys all liquored up in the Brier patch and then curling 2 hours later.

I really want to go to a darts competition. It looks like the rowdiest sporting event out there.

[Atomic Wedgie]

I am in no mood to discuss the Leafs right now, but I started a thread in “The Locker Room” section – I invite you all to participate.

Worst Leafs playoff game I have ever witnessed, and that goes back a long time.

I was the biggest believer in continuing to hold onto our assets.

Sorry, last night broke me.

Marner is gone.

Tavares is gone.

I can’t franking believe we gave up a 1st rounder to rent Laughton.

Next year will be a huge step backwards, but it’s better than the horrific inertia this team has made me suffer through for the past eight years.

FFS, how can you put forth such little effort last night?
