Currently in Toronto, gonna try to head down to the ACC, might have a hook up for seats!

I would recommend kijiji.ca or SeatGeek as better options than the scalpers who will almost for sure have worse pricing.

You can often score good seats below face value on kijiji. Better get on that now though.... Send messages to anyone with an ad still anywhere near the price you're looking to pay....

Kijiji also means no sales tax and Canadian dollars.

I was in court last week - saw a file where the guy's MO was to offer tix for sale on Kijiji, receive internet payment, then do a vanishing act. PUller the same scam on at least three people - probably numerous more who didn't bother to report it to police.

Other possible scam it even if you meet up in person, the seller turns around and cancels the ticket, then sells to a second person.

I would stick to recognized re-sellers. Ticketmaster shows numerous seats for sale for tonight, as does Stubhub.

Hey guys, honest question.

A lot of you have made it obvious that you think it is unfair Matthews gets talked about a lot by the Toronto media and not Laine.

Yet in this thread there are a lot of you clearing disapproving of the media hounding Laine.

What is the compromise here or is it just *****ing to *****?

Before you call me a troll, check out my comments in the Leafs GDT. I have been defending Laine from my fellow fans for the last few weeks.

I'd die laughing seeing just one hat flying out on the ice xD

Hello Leaf fan. We no think all bad alike. We different opinion. Very much like Laine and Auston Matthews. Media bad. But some media good.

Did you hear the questions that the media asked Laine?

Patrik Laine: On being named 1st star of the week. What does he like about his game right now? On playing with Mark Scheifele. On the matchup against Auston Matthews. On his and Matthews comparison like Crosby and Ovechkin. On the importance of tonight's game. On what part of his game is better than Matthews? Is there anyone that he does measure himself against? What would a Calder Trophy mean to him? Does he feel like an underdog in the Calder race? Does he pay attention to what the other rookies are doing?

The non-Mathews questions probably came from Winnipeg media. I assume all the questions about the great Mathews-Laine rivalty came from the Toronto press. The only reason they are interested in Laine is the Mathews story.

I think it's just funny and I don't mind it , and welcome, enjoy the game between these two great players (and don't be sad when the Jets win. ):)

i'm a winnipegger who lives in toronto (for 17 years. but still a winnipegger).
Toronto media is ridiculous. and when i say "toronto", i also mean "sportsnet, TSN, the Score".
Matthews gets way more hype than Laine.

let's be honest here: off the top of your head, any idea what kind of season Scheifele's having? where he is in NHL scoring?
how about Bryan Little's PPG average?

if a Leaf was doing this, the media would be hospitalized from trying to **** their own ***** and breaking a rib

They did the same to Matthews, it was hard to watch

So, if the Jets appealed Trouba's suspension, he would be able to play tonight, right?

Serious question: Why would they appeal the suspension? What Trouba did was a textbook hit to the head. Just because someone else did something similar and didn't get suspended doesn't mean he (Trouba) didn't do something highly dangerous to someone.

I just watched his interview. How many times did he have to say he doesn't care, and how many ways did the media try and get a quote out of him to use out of context?

I guess it's just part of living in a hockey market like Toronto. Media knows when the team is decent everyone will give clicks even if they know 1 or 2 players names.
