I have to say, for the first time ever there was no irritating d-bag anywhere near me. I went with a great buddy of mine whose fatal flaw is being a Red Wings fan he was in tears at how the mighty have fallen, and his brother who is a Leafs fan and was also at the game made fun of him the whole way home to Oakville!<br /><br />About the Platinums with the courtesy box underneath. I have been to a few games at these seats and I think the Barilkosphere will show some understanding to the denziens of those cellars when I say, in my experience the reason the Platinums are empty for the first 5 minutes of every period is that everybody is trying to pound down 2-3 more drinks before getting to their seats. Not necessarily because they are wiping the pate de fois gras off their chins.Aschendancynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6518202653898886981.post-68802260177792412012009-11-09T09:09:11.820-05:002009-11-09T09:09:11.820-05:00I once sat front row at the ACC for a Leaf game. ...I once sat front row at the ACC for a Leaf game. A friend of mine with an incredibly wealthy girlfriend took me. And I too was quite horribly irked by the goings on in the restaurant and the lounge, where one might get the impression that the game was a bothersome interruption of their hobnobbing. I was also angered by the almost complete absence of people in their seats at the beginning of the second and third periods. Why spend that kind of money and not enjoy the game? So yes, the whole experience can be quite infuriating... until you try the roast beef sandwich with au jus sauce that they sell in the platinum lounge. There is an actual carving station, and the meat is so tender and juicy... well, I forgot my troubles real quick. They had me at au jus sauce.Pal Hal Pallhttp://palhalpall.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6518202653898886981.post-67948719117907191662009-11-09T09:08:42.183-05:002009-11-09T09:08:42.183-05:00Awesome, just awesome.

I had this ...Your section sounds like my section... I had this woman next to me who I assume was a Detroit fan. Seemed ok enough, except for the fact she had a single seat and acted every bit the loner she was...<br /><br />First time Bertuzzi steps on the ice, she screams out 'BERT!!' (Note: I sit in the 300s). Some people have voices that can reach across the ACC. Hers can't. Her screaming wouldn't even get noticed by Michael Landsberg's botox (he normally sits 2 rows in front of me). 2nd Bertuzzi shift, out of nowhere: "BIG BERT!" WTF? Quiet lady! He can't hear you, but you're screaming for no reason in my ear.<br /><br />My Father and I have some decent conversations watching hockey games. This woman kept trying to butt in... No.<br /><br />She disappeared for the 2nd period. Bliss.<br /><br />3rd period, she returned. Highlights were: assuming she had insightful things to say, when she didn't ("Stajan falls down too much." A random out-of-town score I wasn't paying attention to...) And the kicker: I made a comment that effectively predicted/jinxed a Red Wings goal... So she GRABS my arm and tells me "You should've stayed quiet." a. Stranger. Grabbing. Hello? b. Maybe saying that would work... Ignoring her all night didn't.<br /><br />You should come in for a Leafs-Sens game. It's like those games in Ottawa, except you can bring a book and read quietly.Jeffnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6518202653898886981.post-20444723399633778432009-11-09T02:26:07.892-05:002009-11-09T02:26:07.892-05:009:45 - During the dying moments, Gustavsson skates...9:45 - During the dying moments, Gustavsson skates over the Leafs bench, punches Toskala in the face, and returns to his crease in time to stop a 3-on-0.<br /><br />This one literally had me in tears.

It was a treat watching the game with those seats. The private hostess meant we didn't have to wait to buy beer between periods, it was all free too, free food, and our lounge was a 10 second walk to our seats. And there was in-seat service by our hostess, free again.<br /><br />Our tickets were free, I would never pay the $550 face value.
