I'm proud of them.  They dig down.  Tried somewhat and showed their inferiority.  The Buffalo and Columbus games loom in the future. These are important losses for the tank and at this point there there really aren't any milestones to look out for.

Carolina really needs to take advantage of their games in hand. Stupid schedule.

I understand.  Though it wasn't like there were 5000 people there.

I fully expect things like this to not only happen, but to get progressively worse as we watch the Shanaplan take effect over the next few seasons. The Leafs werent on hockey night against the Sens on Saturday for the first time since 1972. Things will get ugly in Leafland, and only the true fans will stick around for this rebuild. We know this needs to happen, but the general public will turn away in droves and the bashing will intensify to new levels. Book it.

People will stop paying attention away but the bashing will get worse?

Well...this is Leaf fans we're talking about here...

It took until the 6th last home game for this to happen, and these games have been bad for a pretty long time now. I don't think it will ever be that much of an issue going forward. Next years team, while it might be just as bad as this years, will still likely provide better hockey than what we're seeing here considering it will probably be filled with young guys playing their hardest.

I mean, the Sabres are somehow averaging 18,512 fans a game according to ESPN. If they can keep their attendance up like that the ACC is still going to be full for most of next season.

They tried to have a ticket sale.

It is a little shocking.

Despite it obviously being the right direction, I genuinely question whether Rogers and Bell will commit to a long-term rebuild.  Heck, I question whether the fanbase will stomach it for more than a year or two.

This has been said a bunch of times. We stomached what, 9 of 10 seasons out of the playoffs all while the team was trying to be good?

I questioned it as well but maybe after seeing what the result of not doing it properly is, they'll be willing to wait it out.

Is the attendance figure in question paid attendance or is it a turnstile count?

 

[Frank E]

This is great news.

Now the real fans can go.

 

[TML fan]

Is the attendance figure in question paid attendance or is it a turnstile count?

It's usually paid attendance.

It's usually paid attendance.

Usually as in that's what other teams usually announce or as in that's what the Leafs tend to announce?

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

Mirtle's article says 18,366 was the announced figure but that there were visually less than that in the crowd.  So assuming that's # of tickets sold.
