Leading up to this game, a lot of people had been telling me that the atmosphere and crowd at the ACC (Air Canada Centre) sucked: "No cheering, sushi eating suits!" They couldn't have been more wrong. The Leafs scored 47sec into the game and poured it on for all 3 periods.
They made the Hurricanes look terrible, or maybe it was that the Hurricanes terrible play made the Leafs look fantastic?? My tickets were in the standing room which gave me a great view of the ice (and I got to sit (I mean stand) with the die hard fans as well. It was 6 - 1 in the end and the roar from the Leafs fans for every goal, every hit and every save was by far the most impressive I have seen and heard.
CN Tower:
As the Leafs are battling hard for a playoff spot, you could really say it was a playoff game so that might attribute to the atmosphere?? You can't get all positive comments from a Habs fan.
I drove up from London on the day of the game after spending 2 nights with Holly, Dave and Seth.

Me and the little man:
Passed by Brantford (birthplace of the Great One):
I caught up with Ross (Archie) and Johnny Mac for "a couple of beers" before the game - just what I needed, more beer!
Ross, Me, John:
I stayed the night with Archie and his family in Toronto.
The Marshalls:
Before leaving town I was able to catch up with another good friend, Heather, for breakfast and then it was on the road to Ottawa. A lot of socialising but when I think of how long the gaps have been since catching up with friends, it's always worth every minute.
The game on Friday is a big one - Canadiens play the Senators. Go Habs Go!!!
