Yes, you can tell other people that I am praying for a Leafs vs. Habs first round playoff game.

Leafs v. Habs can't happen...Everything has been decided. It is:

TB vs. NYI
Boston vs. Montreal
Philly v. NJ
Toronto v. Ottawa.

I'm especially looking forward to Philly and NJ and Toronto and Ottawa, but they should all be good series.

[Joeiss]

Oh, I wasn't aware they played this early.... Oh well, Leafs vs. Sens will be amazing too.

And I am happy that NJ and Philly are playing eachother... Because they always drain the Leafs out too much when we play them.

Why would you want any 2 Canadian teams to play each other in the FIRST ****ING ROUND?

I mean, I'd rather they play each other in the 2nd round right? I'm kind of pro 'cdn team winning the cup' and if they knock each other off the first round then well, that kind of lowers the odds.


Kind of pissy that the nucks have to play the flames first. Oh well, what can one do.

And I hope Ottawa beats the leafs. They're the financially stunted underdog and i feels sorry for them.

Though I'm a Philly fan, my other favorite team is Boston. They haven't had much success in a while till these past two years. They've always been a cool team in my mind.

bostons cool. i like all the origial 6 teams.

my second fav is chicago, it was fun watching the Detroit vs Chicago playoff games. sadly they cant even make it now i hope they can at least make the playoffs in future games. with them being the only other origial 6 team in the west. its hard to get detroit to play an origial 6 team anymore

Just north of Toronto... I can feel the intensity in the air... I'm off to find my Leafs Flag for my car....

Playoffs in Toronto has quite the atmosphere... Null, you should come down for a game when it is Wings vs. Toronto in the finals!

Umm... Are you sure tickets are cheaper here?

[Seth]

Toronto has the most expensive tickets in the league. I'm not sure if that takes into account the currency difference.

on average? regular season or playoffs?

going by last year, i coulda gone to see first game in toronto for 600, and cheapest here was over 1000. but it coulda been cuz the sell so fast here thats all thats left.

Team Avg. ticket Pct. change FCI Pct. change
New Jersey Devils $68.80 24.5 $363.33 17.3
Detroit Red Wings $57.11 0.7 $318.44 -3.6
Philadelphia Flyers $57.06 0.0 $318.27 2.4
Toronto Maple Leafs $56.90 0.0 $308.79 0.0
Boston Bruins $54.10 5.3 $304.39 3.7

2003 top ticket price averages according to... http://www.hockeytraderumors.com/article3678.html


thats regular season tho and honestly they're all about the same.

i dunno. from personal experience i always seem to be able to find cheaper prices over there for games then here.

Vancouver has pretty expensive tickets. I dont know how they do it in your buildings, but in GM place you pretty much get seeded. No couples (except season ticket holders) and My brother bought cheap seats...(the highest seat of the high, hes right below where the GM's sit) and he bought it for about $70, for one ticket...the cheap ones....usually those tickest are $40...And i assure you that the playoff atmosphere is much better in Van City. And if not i will be proud to say that the NHL did a study, and Vancouver is THE loudest crowd in the NHL.

[Joeiss]

The playoff atmosphere is probably better in the arena at GM Place, but definitely not the city.
