Forget cable bills the size of a Zamboni! These days, streaming services are your ticket to the game. Here are a few top contenders:

The Old-Fashioned Way: Tuning In with Cable

QuickTip: Treat each section as a mini-guide.
Remember: If you live in the Toronto area, you might need a special decoder ring (okay, maybe not literally) to avoid blackouts.

- Snacks: Because cheering on the Leafs is hungry work.
- Beverages: Water is good, but sometimes a celebratory (or sorrow-drowning) beer is necessary. Just pace yourself, eh?
- Social Media: Live tweet your reactions, share those hilarious Matthews memes, and commiserate (or celebrate) with fellow fans. Just be nice, even if the refs manage to swallow their whistles all night.
