]]> Well, for no apparent reason, I have decided to declare today video day! First up on the agenda is a tribute video that someone made on YouTube for the Maple Leafs, Toronto’s NHL franchise. They’re not going to be making the playoffs this year (again) and this video was made as a tribute to the season they had this year. If you’re a hockey fan, you might appreciate it. If you’re not, humour me ;) . And if you’re a sports tourist traveling to Toronto, do not fear! With the baseball season starting up next month, you’ll still have plenty of opportunity to see a professional Toronto franchise at work.

]]> Air Canada Centre

The Toronto Maple Leafs, recently on a streak of futility having lost their last three games after an excellent 3-0 win against the Ottawa Senators, are going to be hosting the Montreal Canadiens this evening at the Air Canada Centre.  Toronto has played reasonably well this year against the Habs with a 2-0-1 record against their historical rivals.  This game could be the chance the Leafs have to halt this losing streak here and do what they can to pick up the pieces of their season and try to get themselves back to within striking distance of a playoff spot by the all star break.

You can expect the pubs downtown to be packed with spectators for this game as a Montreal/Toronto matchup always draws the part-time hockey fans out of the works and into the pubs to watch.  Furthermore, since tickets are so expensive to watch the actual game itself, many of the pubs have promotions going on during game time in order to entice people out to watch the games at the pubs.  One pub near the University of Toronto has $0.25 chicken wings during each game and another pub in Scarborough near where I live has half-price appetizers during all games.  If you’re a fan of hockey then you’ll find little better than a matchup between the Toronto Maple Leafs and Montreal Canadiens, so make sure that you find a nice place to sit down and watch the two teams go at each other!
