Because they're fucking retarded, that's why. The corporations buy tickets in bulk and make up the majority of the sell-out crowd every game. The only hockey on the tele, the papers, et cetera in Southeastern Ontario is the Leafs. Every year they're fed the same shit, convinced by media that it'll taste good this time, but shit still tastes like shit despite them saying otherwise. They fall for it everytime, Andy. It's ridiculous.
