MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Most teams don't even sell tickets to games until they are necessary. This is what I'm asking. Columbus didn't sell game 6 tickets until the day of the game. They did in 1987!!! Every time something like this comes up, I recall this year. But this time I had to look it up to recall the particulars. The Leafs had won their first round vs Blues. Second round, division Finals (or todays quarterfinals), they were up 3-1 in games against the Red Wings. The juggernaught, dynasty Oilers were the next team the Leafs would face if they won one more game. Me and my friend go down to the Gardens, and score tickets to see Leafs-Oilers in the next round, Game 4 and Game 6!!!!! We were elated. Then, Wings beat Leafs three games in a row, won the series 4-3, and we got our money back. Sigh... Link to post Share on other sites
gruven 530 Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 The Raptors issued hard tickets for the entire first series, and now are doing that for the next series. So real tickets are out there. Link to post Share on other sites
Untilted 158 Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 I have hard tickets for the Rangers for every possible game thru to the finals (16 games) I am paying on a round by round basis however. I was not charged for round 2 until yesturday Link to post Share on other sites
serge 904 Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Jack Armstrong makes Joe Bowen look like the most neutral broadcaster. Sort of funny. He called Kevin Garnett a jerk. Link to post Share on other sites
gruven 530 Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Naw, in the second quarter, Jack went off about the refs. Then he stopped himself and said: 'don't get me wrong: the raptors are playing awful. They are the reason they're down 15, not the refs.' Joe Bowen would never let up like that.... LOL Link to post Share on other sites
Babying 613 Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 He called Kevin Garnett a jerk. I can confirm he is a real jerk Link to post Share on other sites

pezeveng 207 Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 I can confirm he is a real jerk He will always go after the white players. Every time I see him in a altercation its with a white player. Matt Bonner, Jose Calderon, Zaza Pachulia, Andrew Bogut, Marco Bellinilli, and Bargnani to name a few that I recall. Yes he had the incident with Carmelo, but most of the time its with white players. The best was when he tried to go up against Gerald Wallace than realized its Gerald Wallace and backed off. He's a dirty player and after every dirty play he puts his arms in the air like he didn't do anything. Link to post Share on other sites
Babying 613 Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 I went to the yearly skating show for my 2 little girls tonight. They actually think they are figure skaters and it is generally a good show performed by the kids in the club. The guest skater this year is Gabrielle Daleman. She was pretty good and look awesome in her tight black suit. After the show I found out that she is 16. 16!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She is younger than my son. I feel so dirty.

FCP Bob 1,312 Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 10,000 people filling Maple Leaf Square 2 hours before game time. They've had to close it to more people. Link to post Share on other sites
serge 904 Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Crazy stat. Beginning of the year tv numbers were as low as 55,000. Last game 2 million. Probably higher today. Link to post Share on other sites

Probably higher today. 55,000 is on TSN2 or Sportsnet 1 which don't get into a lot of homes but your point is valid. Basically only Toronto and area watch in regular season Link to post Share on other sites
MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 I should be betting on basketball more often. Just put some money on whoever you think the NBA office wants to see win. Ive never bought into any conspiracy theories about any refs in any sport, but these guys cant just be this incompetent, can they? The only thing that makes me think they are incompetent instead of outright cheating is that they make some awful calls the other way too sometimes....or maybe thats just their way of trying to hide the obvious.

Haralabos Voulgaris @haralabob · 3m You rarely if ever see the home playoff team get so many bad calls go against them. WWE Nets have been the better team today by far though Link to post Share on other sites
