Despite Eugene Melnyk’s desires, the game between the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Ottawa Senators will take place in an empty arena. Both teams will skate out into an empty Canadian Tire Centre, an hour away from Ottawa out there in rural Kanata, and they’ll notice one thing missing, sticking out in the deafening silence: No one chanting “GO LEAFS GO”
