Ok but if I read this right all you need is a vpn and you should be able to get tickets.

I think they go by credit card address so the VPN might let the purchase go through initially but the purchase will likely get voided after the fact.

They will check zip codes in credit card billing addresses.
I live in Brazil, but I got an international account with US a credit card, however there were a time when the international accounts didn't exist and I use to fly regurlary to the US to Work.

Also if someone is trying to bypass this stupid small team rule, you just need to look if your 5 digit zip code has an address in the US, all the credit card company checks is the 5 digits, like my 5 digits in BR is a ZiP code in Maine - US, so when I didn't had my international account, I use to add my "Maine" address on the billing part, always managed to buy tickets, stuff at amazon, etc.

This is a dumb move by Florida.

Go Leafs Go!!!

New series slogan: Flip the Puck at Tkachuk

I look forward to the Schenn/Tkachuk netfront boxout battles.

Getting Schenn was a really good move. No leafs D on the roster would be very capable of it.

I couldn't buy gas at the pump in Folrida last week because I didn't have a zip code.

1) Lots of teams in the U.S. try to do this, 2) Leafs fans will still be there.

Yup. Lots of these tickets will be going to Leafs fans on the resale market, for sure.

Leafs are as good as anyone left in the tourney.*  If they get their game sorted out, they have a real shot to get to the SCF.

Yeah, no limitation on the secondary market. So, I guess that's the play, buy through stub hub.

Fun trick - if you use the 3 numbers from your postal code followed by 00 it will work. So M4G3A2 would be 43200.

Thanks for the tip. I'm going to try that.

It's so stupid buying gas in the states.

Let's get through this round first.  Florida will be tough.  They are never out of a game and they are playing with house money.  If I was Keefe I would try to play the angle that the Leafs are the underdogs because Florida beat out the best team in the league this year.

No changes to the lines at practice, unless they stick with the full 4th line (this could easily still be 11-7).

Probably the most notable thing at practice was that Murray took part for the first time since his injury. That combined with Kallgren being sent back to the Marlies earlier in the day is a sign he could be ready to play/dress.

Please swap Knies and Jarnkrok.

On the one hand, I get it. You want your home crowd behind you and a crowd full of Leafs fans makes your club look a little bush league. On the other, doing this sends stories to the media anyway so I'm not sure that makes you look much better.

Looks like 12 and 6 with Holl out! I am good with that. Leafs haven't even played that well yet. I think it's entirely possible that the Leafs start playing better and get on a roll here! Leafs in 5.
