Toronto Maple Leafs Now Locked Out From Making Reservation at Toronto Sports Bar Owned by Team
The NHL is locked out. Did you hear about this? We’re in the middle of the league’s latest stoppage and things have gotten so bad that Canadians are starting to do rude things like refuse to take dinner reservations. It’s getting ugly.
In a since-deleted Tweet, Toronto Maple Leafs forward Joffrey Lupul shared the gory details:
“@realsports is not allowed to take reservations from Leafs players during the lockout but will continue selling our jerseys for $300 a pop.”
Real Sports Bar & Grill is owned and operated by MLSE – Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment. From the National Post:
Leafs forward James van Riemsdyk, who was acquired in a trade with Philadelphia in June, initially tweeted in support of Lupul — writing “same thing happened to me a month ago #amateurhour” — before that response was removed from his feed.
Hockey players can’t play hockey. Hockey players can’t get reservations at a sports bar. Hockey players can’t tweet whatever they want. It sucks being a hockey player. [via the National Post]

What kind of assholes go to a sports bar where you have to make reservations/
December 17th, 2012 at 3:13 PM
Soused?
December 17th, 2012 at 3:14 PM
Eat shit Joffrey.
December 17th, 2012 at 3:22 PM
I pray that the host and hostess sound exactly like Bryant Gumbel.

I’m #teamdecertify at this point. Blow this up and start over.
December 17th, 2012 at 3:35 PM
I think I read somewhere that the NHL could look to terminate all the contracts and making everyone a FA.
December 17th, 2012 at 3:42 PM
A no contracts and no cap situation would be amazing for the Penguins.
December 17th, 2012 at 3:43 PM
If this means the Flyers can overpay for Bryzgalov again, I think I’m gonna pass.
December 17th, 2012 at 3:46 PM
No cap, no contracts would be pretty good for Canadian teams, outside of maybe the Jets and Sens. Leafs could spend $100m.
December 17th, 2012 at 3:48 PM
It would be absolutely awful for fans though. Would price out most everyone.
December 17th, 2012 at 3:51 PM
Most people are already priced out, two lower bowl tix in Edmonton at face value are upwards of $250. Went to a game last year, sat in the highest row in the barn, still $45 a pop.
December 17th, 2012 at 3:53 PM
Very true. The crowd at Penguins games has changed from loud and middle class to quiet and upper class with CONSOL opening. I mean it’s the price to pay for not leaving town, but goddamn it’s quiet going to a game there (have only gone when getting free tickets, I’m not paying a hundred bucks for regular season).

Biggest televisions in Canada, place gets rammed for major sporting events. Beer is overpriced, wings are very good there. Often full of douchebags but a cool place to watch big events.
December 17th, 2012 at 3:55 PM
It is a cool place to see.
December 17th, 2012 at 3:56 PM
Tha fuck is hockey?!
