Tonight the Leafs host the Tampa Bay Lightning in their final home game of the season before wrapping up the 2011-12 season at the Bell Centre in Montreal on Saturday. It’s tough to stay enthusiastic given the season was all but over ten-plus games ago, but try to enjoy your final 120 minutes of Leaf hockey until next October.

If you want to get your hands on Marlies tickets for Games 1 and/or 2 of the first playoff round, there is a presale happening today between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. at ticketmaster.ca.
