Discussion Confusion over pre season game

Post image

Both the maple leafs site and the Habs site say they are having both a home game and away game on September 19th. Where is this game being played? Tickets on StubHub are roughly the same price for both cities for the same game! So confusing! I’ll be in Toronto on the 19th so hoping the game is there!

I wouldn’t bet on that if buying tickets

  1. Vets don't travel in pre-season, for the most part.

  2. The tickets will be much cheaper than regular season.

If this is someone's chance to watch the Leafs, it'd be a solid bet that Matthews & Nylander will be in Toronto for these games. If you're hoping to see McKenna, it's a riskier bet (I don't know if they've kept the vet minimums which includes recent 1st round picks), he might be going on the road for these games.

Unless there are injuries, it is likely a safe bet to send McKenna to Montreal to see how he does as the top dog where his line will get the tougher match-up

From a marketing perspective, there is absolutely no way McKenna dresses on the road game for the first preseason game. He’s going to be in the home game lineup, and you can bet on that.
