"Some of the lowest"?

Ain't no other clubs that low lol

I'm convinced you'd have to pay $25 for a cup of Easy Mac at Bridgestone these days. And you'd have to nuke it yourself lol

Beautiful yet heartbreaking.

And they need two teams in Toronto because..... they're the center of the universe? It increases the odds that they may someday beat Boston in the playoffs?

The tickets for Leafs games are so expensive that your average Joe cannot afford one yet alone have a change to even GET one. There is enough of a population and interest to support a second team in Hamilton.
However, as that article talks about, MLSE wont let it happen because it would be taking money straight from them in Leafs revinue.

Hamilton would be DOA. Yeah there's clearly enough hockey fans and population for a team to work there except for one fatal problem, the Leafs. You aren't going to convert nearly enough Leaf fans, in the Toronto area to be fans of an expansion team.

We've seen this play out already in a highly populated and hockey crazy market and it failed, Hartford. Hartford failed because they couldn't convert existing Bruins and Rangers fans.

I know some politics are involved with Quebec City, but do you think the proximity to Montreal plays a similar role with the NHL's reluctance to return there?
