This isn't a Leafs game. Montreal doesn't have a bunch of businessmen coming down from Bay Street with tickets the company bought them so they can be seen, hash out their business deals, and pay zero attention to the game at all. Tickets have to be priced at a level where, at the very least, middle-class fans can afford to bring their families without re-mortgaging their home.

Couldnt agree more. Its a huge reason I rarely go to games anymore. By the time you've paid for tickets/parking/dinner/drinks/snacks a game can be a $500 proposition for one night for two people.
Or I can watch it at home or at my neighbourhood pub for much less hassle, no crowds and a fraction of the cost.
