Game 11: Leafs @ Jets 8:00 PM LEAFS TV

[Sudafederov]

Just wondering on why so many games on leafs TV this year? Seems like almost half? I know of a few fans who are pissed about this.

<tinfoilhat>
Because Leafs TV is owned by MLSE
Because MLSE is owned by Bell and Rogers
Because Bell and Rogers want your money
</tinfoilhat>

I think we can get used to stuff like this.

Could be worse.  Could be charging $9.95 PPV.

Probably moving in that direction.

Well at least McLaren makes a good punching bag.

 

[BermudaBudsFan]

Is JVR in the lineup?  Have not heard his name called.

Well if it wasn't for the tinfoil hat I might not have understood that. Thanks donkey

The Grabovski line has looked pretty bad the last few games.

 

[bustaheims]

Probably moving in that direction.

Doubt it. A move like that might actually decrease their revenue. Considering the size of their audience, their ad revenue is pretty significant, and the value of the broadcast rights to the games are as well. They'd need a lot of people to shell out for PPV broadcasts to make them more profitable than they are now - and it's unlikely they'll get it. I mean, look at the resistance there's been to the much cheaper Leafs TV.

Heaven forbid I'm a fan of the leafs without knowing who owns who exactly. Exile me now!

How we looking I just turned the radio on.

 

[maplesyrup]

Huh?

 

[pnjunction]

Delay of game by the refs is more like it, so absurd

 

[Courtnall]

What a joke of a call. Lets just guess now when making penalties.

 

[13th fan]

What kind of call is that ?

 

[Kaberle15]

what a bad Call on JVR

 

[bustaheims]

That rule needs some serious rethinking. It really only makes sense for situations where guys put their hands on top of the puck. For all other situations, the hand pass rule was enough. Also, I'm not sure JvR even touched it there.

 

[Bender]

Phantom call. What fucking BS.

Your probably right on PPV, but I'm thinking they will do it in more subtle ways (eg mobile etc)

 

[Edeagle]

The PK has looked good! The PP is just terrible though.. why can't the Leafs ever find a happy medium? Can't the pp just be mediocre instead of terrible?!?!

 

[sickbeast]

That period was boring.  Let's hope the Leafs pick it up and get some chances next period.

 

[13th fan]

Safe so far, no Kessel goal but sweating bullets

 

[LittleHockeyFan]

Phantom call. What friging BS.

like so?:
