Hockey? not today thank you!

So, we pay $50 for the cheapest seats (five times the price for the Canadian football-and they were better seats) to watch a dreadful contest in which Toronto lose 4-o!

The highlight of the game was each of the three fights, for the crowd that is.
They stopped talking on the phone, reading, eating, and walking around the venue, to cheer three pantomime fights which would embarass WWF
The referees were complicit, like the WWF, but at this pre season stage they forgot to bring the beer bottles and chairs with which to supply the combatants.
It seemed so much more of a night on the town (everyone texting eachother and generally being trashy) than a sporting contest.
I shall stick to a proper sport and save myself the embarassment of hearing "go leafs go" again.

you are right, it's pre-season hockey, people don't take it seriously including the players...it's more of a meet-and-greet thing.

For $50 they better take their fans seriously, did I mention $9.90 for a beer!
I think I will stick to football, and when that ends in Feb. it will be spring again.
