8500 in Boston last night

[Judge]

They said on the radio that only 8500 showed up for the Bruins game last night- and this is for the top team in the Eastern Conference.

Was it Halloween again already?

[Rude American]

8500, eh? That's hilarious. And an original 6 team no less.

I used to think very highly of Baston as a hockey town. Not anymore. That's inexcusable. The Leafs could dress little girls (some are close) and they'd still sell out the ACC.

For many years they did.

I'm trying to forget those Ballard days.

I don't blame you. I always wondered why King Clancy never whipped his a$$.

[Rude American]

You remeber them sitting together in the box eh? You're Canadian originally aren't you? From Toronto, right? Are you in Chicago on a work permit like TN1 or green card?

[Ebenezer]

8500?? According to Mr. Bettman, it must be Buffalo's fault...oh wait, we haven't played there yet this year.

I used to watch HNIC on Ch. 5 or 9 from the southtowns.

I used to watch wrestling from MLG too. Haystacks Calhoun was my favorite.

I always thought it was funny how Ballard's bunker wasn't even very good seats, and he owned the team. Must have been near the exit, for a quick getaway.

HNIC was on CBC Ch. 5
The Leafs used to be on every Wednesday on CHCH CH. 11 from Hamilton.

I still think the nets are hurting attendance.

Why? Because the "extreme sport" thrill of trying to catch a 100-mph frozen piece of rubber has been eliminated?

[Ebenezer]

No! Because yet another aspect of the game has been altered. The sight line is horrible with those nets and people will have to take time to get used to it.

Why couldn't they just raise the glass?
