I don't think "they" will have much of a crowd this year. This game for example was sold out to us season ticket holders without any going on sale to the general public I thought.
I know some people will be selling to Leaf fans and making out large on the deal.
But there will be at least 15,000 Sabre fans in the rink each time this year as opposed to the usual 10,000 Leaf fans and 8500 Sabre fans.
No matter what, the environment at these games is going to rock!
