"If you're a Toronto sports fan, you'll know the only time to catch the Blue Jays and Maple Leafs play on the same night will be if one franchise is starting its season, and the other is in a playoff push. The last few years have seen the Blue Jays begin their season with the Maple Leafs contending for a Stanley Cup."
