As someone who has attended many, many games here as a media member since 2004, I am not surprised the Leafs are this low. In fact, I wondered if they might challenge for last place.
Not because Scotiabank Arena isn’t a perfectly fine modern arena, with some great food options and gathering areas. But because ticket prices in Toronto are as outrageous as they get in the NHL and, on many nights, it can be a very corporate crowd and fans sit on their hands.
