Michael Hardner Posted March 24, 2015 Report Posted March 24, 2015 1+2+3= a few ticketws unsold. For the first time in a dozen years or so. I'll bet there have been some other bad games scheduled since 2002 and they sold out. Edited to add: Look, I have to come clean here. I'm a bitter fan who stopped watching the games. I have had enough. Quote Click to learn why Climate Change is caused by HUMANS Michael Hardner
guyser Posted March 24, 2015 Report Posted March 24, 2015 For the first time in a dozen years or so.17 IIRC....either way, a very long time. I'll bet there have been some other bad games scheduled since 2002 and they sold out. Edited to add: Look, I have to come clean here. I'm a bitter fan who stopped watching the games. I have had enough. YOu and a whole whack of other people. Quote
overthere Posted March 25, 2015 Report Posted March 25, 2015 Are the Leafs not selling out the arena, or are people just not showing up? Quote Science too hard for you? Try religion!
overthere Posted March 25, 2015 Report Posted March 25, 2015 Edited to add: Look, I have to come clean here. I'm a bitter fan who stopped watching the games. I have had enough. I've switched my Oilers viewing habits to PVR only. Record the game, then whip through it if it looks like a turkey. No commercials and the pain is minimized. And hey, every so often they look like a hockey team so it is watchable. Quote Science too hard for you? Try religion!
Big Guy Posted March 25, 2015 Report Posted March 25, 2015 A little off topic but a couple of years ago, I had another engagement so I PVR'd the final round of the Masters Golf Tournament. Got home in the evening, turned on the TV, got a cold beer(s) and watched the game (fast forward through commercials, stalls, interviews, lining up putts,ect) and saw the 6 hr coverage of the match in about 1.5 hr. I do that now every weekend. Quote Note - For those expecting a response from Big Guy: I generally do not read or respond to posts longer then 300 words nor to parsed comments.
Mighty AC Posted March 25, 2015 Report Posted March 25, 2015 Apparently not. It is the team and the team alone. I have no real idea but would think the ACC is worth half that on top....or more. 13th busiest venue in the world. Weird that the team is valued at 1.3B by Forbes, yet all of MLSE has an equity value less than $2 billion. MLSE includes all of the teams, arenas and arena management. It doesn't include the condos. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maple_Leaf_Sports_%26_Entertainment Quote "Our lives begin to end the day we stay silent about the things that matter." - Martin Luther King Jr"Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities" - Voltaire
overthere Posted March 26, 2015 Report Posted March 26, 2015 Idiot Oilers are on a winning streak of sorts, and worsening their lottery prospects. Who was it that said they were tanking? Arizona vs Buffalo tonight, and Oilers fans are praying for a game that goes to overtime. Give everybody some points! Quote Science too hard for you? Try religion!
Boges Posted March 27, 2015 Author Report Posted March 27, 2015 Kessel and Booth fought each other at practice today. WHY ARE THEY PRACTICING!?!?!??!?!??! Quote
Mighty AC Posted March 27, 2015 Report Posted March 27, 2015 Did Booth eat the last doughnut before practice?

Buffalo will get one of McDavid or Eichel this year, I'd be cheering for that too! As sad as it is what's the point of even trying now? Might as well secure yourself at least one of them.

BubberMiley Posted March 28, 2015 Report Posted March 28, 2015 That's exactly why I think the first 14 picks should be randomly distributed among the teams that don't make the playoffs. No more tanking and no more fans cheering for their team to lose. Quote "I think it's fun watching the waldick get all excited/knickers in a knot over something." -scribblet

No more tanking and no more fans cheering for their team to lose. Next year they are doing a lottery for the top 3 picks after that it goes in order of standings. So even if you finish last you're only guranteed the 4th overal pick. Quote “Be like water making its way through cracks.

overthere Posted March 28, 2015 Report Posted March 28, 2015 Edmonton is right in Torontos rear view mirror with another win tonight.. Can the Leafs run the table with another losses to end the season? Quote Science too hard for you? Try religion!
Michael Hardner Posted April 10, 2015 Report Posted April 10, 2015 4th last place has been secured. They sure fell like a stone. And I'm surprised more people aren't commenting on the fact that the ratings and attendance took a big hit this season. Of course Rogers says they're not worried.

BubberMiley Posted April 10, 2015 Report Posted April 10, 2015 Come back to me after the Jets actually make the playoffs. Until then, I don't care.
