I only go to the odd Maple Leafs game and it is always so hard to get tickets. All but 5,000 tickets are sold to corporate sponsorship so the general public will always be eager to see nhl games in the GTA.

I hope there is a second team but I can just see the division of the fickle leaf fans now. Further, if there is a second team it will not have a huge impact on the Leafs sales. The leafs year after year put out a terrible bandwagon creating product and yet people jump on it every year.
