Call it Puckhead Frenzy, or Blue and White Delirium. Yes, these are somewhat unkind descriptions but for good or ill they fit the punchy fans of the Toronto Maple Leafs who painted their faces, played Simon Says and jumped up and down trying to win a pair of free tickets to the Maple Leafs’ first post-season game in almost a decade. Fevered young Leafs fans stormed the Air Canada Centre to see if they could possibly cop playoff tickets for the first-round series that begins on Wednesday. The Leafs are going up against the Boston Bruins, with the first two games of the best-of-seven series in the U.S. The next two games are at the AC Centre. Tickets to the series sold out in minutes. That’s why fans showed up to the all-day event at the arena, which was hosted by former Leaf Wendel Clark. This fellow (inset) stood out for sheer Puckhead enthusiasm but sadly he didn’t win. There’s no justice. Puckheads act like hockey pucks to win tickets
