Uhhhh, what are you saying?
Through dedication and effort put toward their fanbase, the illich family has built a loyal base, and haven't excluded anyone, rich or poor, from attending Wings or Tigers games.
Yeah you can't really blame the owners for charging what they do. The market dictates the prices, they know if people don't like them, there are thousands and thousands who will easily take their spot. Would I like to go a few Leaf games a year sure..but I can understand why prices are so high. No point in arguing or complaining about it. If I was an owner I'd be charging the same prices, the market is the market.

I think things may change a bit when the Wings get that new and improved arena they're seeking.

I think you're severely underestimating the complex economic calculus that determines prices.
What I am saying is that your comment about the prevalence of wealthy individuals around Detroit says next-to-nothing about why ticket prices are what they are, or what they reasonably could be. You are making assumptions about what the market will bear, ignoring the reality that Toronto and Detroit are entirely different markets.
Anyway, this is off-topic, so let's end this and return to discussing how excellent Kadri looks.
Kinda like when Comerica was built, and you still buy great seats for $21? Or get solid outfield seats for $11?

The vast majority of whom a) live north of the border and are Leafs fans or b) have likely never attended a hockey game, and never will.
Nobody is being 'taken advantage' of. The price is right there on the ticket. You can pay it (if you can even get the tickets at all) or you can not go.
It's a business, lower income families dont have some universal human right to attend cheap Leafs games. The organization does enough charity work. Go enjoy NHL games across the border if you can get tickets. I imagine the rare Toronto at Detroit games sell out within minutes.

God I hope Carlyle is not a poopeyhead like Wilson, and will give our prospects a chance instead of useless ******** like Connoly.
Call it frustration, when your team can't muster as much as a fart from the crowd, because they're too busy doing business deals to pay attention to the game. They've priced a solid group right out of being able to experience their team live, and that's unfortunate.
It would be nice to be able to go to a game, and cheer for the hometeam, instead of watching over your shoulder for flying beers. Lol

Crowd was plenty loud back when there were playoff games at the ACC....just sayin.

Need another team in GTA.
There is no universal MLSE right to have exclusive rights marketing rights to hockey in the GTA. If it is supply and demand they'd put another team there.

Is this a requirement to assign them to the Marlies? Im unsure of the process in training camp as opposed to in season.
If not, I cant see why Hamilton is on waivers.
