go to a Toronto Maple Leafs game

Went to my first Leafs game today!

We’ve never gone before b/c it’s always super expensive and impossible to get tix.

Plus in recent years I’ve given up on staying up late to watch games. Because I know they’ll always disappoint and never win the cup. They sometimes dont’ even make the playoffs and are still the richest team in the whole league.

But today was completely different.

It was fun to see the game in person and not just tv. the ACC is great, you can see everything, even from the 300 seats. We were right behind the net too. The energy at the game is great. Leafs fans are insanely hardcore. Cheering and screaming out “Go Leafs Go.”

And I really liked the games they played during the tv commercial breaks. And lots of fans used their blow up sticks to make noise. And even Wendel Clark was giving away prizes in the stands. Was great.

They even gave us 7 goals! They beat Buffalo 7-4. That’s rare w/ the Leafs.

Now if only they’ll keep playing this way the whole season….

Even though the leafs didn’t really have a chance of making the playoffs this year, it was still fantastic to see 2 games in 1 week

Tuesday Apr 11, 2006 (vs. Florida) was a close game and the leafs ended up winning 6-5 in OT.

Saturday Apr 15, 2006 (vs. Ottawa)...what a game. The leafs dominated the Sens with a 5-1 win!!!!

GO LEAFS GO

Went to a game last week for the first time in 30 years. It was very exciting and had a great time. There are no bad seats in the Air Canada Centre. Go leafs!

since home game tickets are so hard to come by, i went on an away game instead! sadly, the leafs lost to the islanders in a pathetic shootout. i hate the new format.
