And there were multiple offers of tickets to Game 3 Monday night in Toronto, and to Game 4 Wednesday night, and even to Game 5 Friday night in Washington. — Chris Johnston (@reporterchris) April 17, 2017“Being such a die-hard Leafs fan, I’m humbled by it,” Maslakow told The Athletic, when asked about the surge of attention. “It’s a dream come true to be this connected to the team.”“Being a Leafs fan since I was a kid, it’s phenomenal,” he told one Sudbury station. I mean, who gets free tickets to a Leafs game, let alone two playoff games?
