Being a member of the Toronto Maple Leafs brings Lee Stempniak
home a lot more. It costs him a lot more, too.
Stempniak, the West Seneca native traded from St. Louis to Toronto
last spring, used to visit Buffalo once every other season or so
with the Blues. Because the Leafs are a Northeast Division rival,
he'll be coming to town three times a year.
The first trip Friday taught him a lesson about the Sabres'
variable pricing plan. Stempniak purchases tickets for his
immediate family when he visits HSBC Arena, and his game with the
Blues last season was a value game. The appearances by the Leafs
fall in the gold or platinum range, which costs the 26-year-old two
or three times as much per ducat.
