Even Toronto Maple Leafs fans will tell you there are few things more annoying than, well, a whole bunch of Leafs fans.
The Buffalo Sabres, Toronto's longtime rival but a team that's yet to sniff the playoffs in 12 years, is taking matters into their own hands in order to prevent a typical Ontario-heavy takeover.' Mike Harrington, the Sabres are"finalizing plans to limit the presale for games, likely by ZIP code, in an attempt to cut down the number of visiting-team fans in the building."
"Obviously last year, there were a handful of games where we saw the wrong colour blue or the wrong colour red coming into the building, depending on the jersey we were wearing," Frank Batres-Landaeta, Sabres vice president of sales and service,."We want to make sure that we're providing that home-ice advantage to our players. We see when there’s a full building cheering them that the players get after it.
