A terrible practice that is now common for fans a bottom feeder.  I remember when a Leafs game ticket was golden.  They always had a large contingent of fans in the Aud anyway, but never close to a majorly and the thought of selling Your Leafs Game ticket to their fans was just a foreign concept.  
 

The pride in this team has been sucked out.  It’s sad.  I hate this idea of giving away a home game.  Just like the Bills playing “home” games in Toronto.  

Loyalty, Honor and Tradition.  Do they matter any more? 

Just like Sabres fans do to every southern NHL franchise.

I have no problem with this game.  There are plenty of Sabre fans in Southern Ontario, especially Niagara, which technically starts in Hamilton.  I bet there are more Sabre fans in Hamilton than Leaf fans.  Hamiltonians hate everything about The Great Satan.

Nah, I grew up there. It's all Leafs and Habs with a small smattering of Sabres fans and others. A few more Sabres fans in St. Catherines though as you move towards Buffalo and they will go to it as well. 

If they're smart though they'd make it Dave Anreychuk day.

That's a great idea to honor Andreychuk during this game.

I was always a fan of his. My favorite part of his game was the beating he would take in front of the net game after game.

So you're saying they should make it Rick Vaive day also.

Any pics of new jerseys for this yet?

There were some prototypes but I haven't seen the real ones yet, unless I have and didn't realize it. I don't think they've been released yet. 

Does anyone have any info on the release?

Just like Habs and Leafs games in Detroit (even during their Stanley Cup years).  It just comes with the territory of being a border city.

No, Vaive was from Ottawa. I'm saying make it big Dave's day because he was a Hamilton kid. If you want to add someone else you could go Ric Seiling.

I thought this had to do with playing for both teams and taking a beating in front of the net every night.

Well if that's what you want I guess you can go right back to the beginning since it's at Tim Horton's field......................................
