I am sorry to hear about your most recent injury. Truly, we suffer for our art.
But is Leighton Orient flush with cash ? You see the Leafs are the richest team in the entire league. While Toronto's population pales in comparison to New York, their fans are so rabid, so devoted that they still pull in more revenues then the Rangers (New York). It doesn't matter how much the Leafs suck, and for how long, they keep coming back!

If you want a season's pass for the Leafs, you have to pay $35,000 (CDN, 31K USD) just to get the right to pay $210 per seat for the actual ticket!

And they are all sold out for years..

This is what makes the Leafs so incredible. They suck SO bad and yet people keep coming back for more! Ok, ok, I'm embellishing.

BTW, the owner of the Habs, George Gillette is also co-owner of New Castle United.. But we here in Montreal like George.. As opposed to say New Castle where they apparently want him dead!
