I was underwhelmed by the Forum, it's basically a movie theatre / mall with Dollarama being far too prominent for such a historical building. But them's the breaks I guess. I kinda wish they had some sort of tribute to the Flames who apparently are the only other team to win a cup in the Forum. Crazy to think given the history of that building. Maple Leaf Gardens at least looks the part from the exterior, they still have the signage like there's an event tonight. It's a grocery store now, and it looks like a decent one, but still a shame. At least you guys have your old buildings, the Saddledome is getting demolished in years.
It's too bad I would need a 3rd party account or I would upload some pictures.
