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

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!
 
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.

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