Leafs are starting to get healthy again, best news is that we have 2 bottom feeding teams next up, Oilers and Flames, golden opportunity to bank 4 points boys.

The ACC just doesnt have that vibe. Doesnt have to be crazy loud all the time, but just that vibe like they have in Montreal, is just missing.

3000 more people roughly. But I agree I thought the ACC was awful on Saturday.
You'd think now that the team is owned by two muti billion dollar telecommunications companies who's main source of revenue is not the team, They could give fans a break on ticket prices now.
There's a job for you Timmy.

Why should they? If there's a demand for it (and there is), why would they lower prices?
I'm still waiting for him to get the fans seated before the periods start. Whatever his plan was its not working very good
Expect Oilers goalie to be Richard Bachman.
He had .979 sv% tonight in the shootout loss. (47/48 saves)

Oh I know demand is high; But it's not like we have to pump money into the OTTP anymore. With the amount Rogers and Bell make per year it makes the profits the Leafs make almost inconsequential.
They'd buy a lot of good will if they did. But I thought for a Saturday that game was very bad in terms of the atmosphere.

Despite the leafs having no rivalry with the oilers or myself with other oiler fans, I find myself cheering against them like the Sens or the Habs. I can't stand to see a team like the oilers with no heart and such wasted talent. RNH and yak should be ashamed of themselves in particular.

No profit is inconsequential to Rogers and Bell. The PR would be astronomical, but to what end really? They've already got most of the customer base locked in to contracts and it doesn't win them much in the long term. It might serve to soften their image to the countless ex-customers that feel scorned by them, but it certainly isn't going to make people switch back. From their standpoint, they've got a strong enough demand to fill up the stadium with high rollers AND sell concessions/beer/merch like crazy.
I really wish they would just chuck the risk management concerns and drop beer prices to $6 for a pint. Now THAT would get the crowd into it.

All of my buddies are so in aw of Hall RNH and Eberle. The only one I personally think is wasted on that team is Eberle, he's shown he wants to be out there competing every night. The Oilers had so much potential (still do) but so far management has fully failed that team.
In my opinion, nothing about them says "winners" and they're potentially ruining there talent by forcing them into the NHL causing injuries and losing tendencies. They should have drafted Murray Reinheart Rielly Trouba or Galchnyuk instead of Yak, but yet again failed to put the franchise in a position to succeed.
What are your guys thoughts with the oilers goaltending situation? I didn't see the game but I just saw the stats. Obviously very good numbers but I couldn't tell if the goalie was "good" or just taking easier shots. It'll be interesting to see how he plays next game. I think a quickie (which the leafs are typically good at) could completely throw him off.
I'm excited for this week! Game in edmonton then drive I Calgary the next day!

Both goaltenders have been pretty awful this year.
Dubnyk struggled early and hasn't regained any confidence back. Labarbera is basically a career back-up but has had to play a lot in the early season.
Bachman got called up to play against LA last night and was actually pretty good. I watched a majority of the game and the team was battling infront of him. Made some good positional saves and the one goal that he did let in, he was being screened by Frattin.
We'll see how long Dubnyk is out for, but likely will be back to play the Leafs
Expect those numbers to be getting down as Bachman faces the hardest team in the league. Us.
Oilers as a group will be down too after we'll pummel them.

I do agree with you but if you've ever had the displeasure of dealing with Rogers regarding anything, you'll know that they just do not care at all. I don't know if it is just their staff or a company mantra but they can be downright vile.

Where were you sitting? It was pretty good and has been most of the year, near me.

I prefer the above changes.
Especially on the Reimer change. He's done nothing but win so far, though not as pretty in net as bernier.
