To have the words "hockey" and "Toronto Maple Leafs" in the same sentence is a bit of an oxymoron. In 1985, when I was visiting Toronto while on course in Borden, they were handing out paper bags with the TML logo and eyeholes at the front doors, thats how embarrassing they were. And that was 27 years ago....they still haven't got any better.
I would suspect that the reason that the stadium fills is because half of Canada is all crammed into the Toronto area, and despite the annoying booing, a ticket to the game is much cheaper than a hotel in that city.
