Business booming for Toronto bars as Maple Leafs advance in playoffs. “We had record-breaking and the best sales for two weeks in a row since we shut down in the beginning of COVID” said business owner Christopher Murie, who added he also “bleeds blue.”
TORONTO - Bar owners in Toronto say they’re anticipating jubilant crowds as the Toronto Maple Leafs begin their second-round NHL playoff series against Florida on Tuesday.
Murie says there was an explosion of excitement when the Leafs clinched their first playoff-series victory in 19 years on Saturday, and he expects fans to be buzzing as the second round begins on home ice against the Florida Panthers. “The first few weeks, we were full but by Game 3 and Game 4, we probably turned down at least like 200 people a night, which we never ever had to do,” he said.
Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment said in a statement said it is expanding its tailgate parties “to include an additional viewing zone, allowing more Maple Leafs fans to catch the excitement of both home and away games in Maple Leafs Square,” a viewing area in downtown Toronto.
