Legacy in the Making-Toronto-Maple TORONTO Legacy in the Making MAPLE LEAFS In 1917, when the National Hockey League (NHL) launched, the Toronto Maple Leafs, initially called the Toronto Arenas, took to the ice as one of the inaugural teams. Early on, the team earned a reputation for winning. The Leafs, as their fans affectionately call them, won the NHL’s most prized trophy, the Stanley Cup, 13 times between 1918 and 1967. But then the winning stopped. It has been nearly 50 years since Toronto’s team has won the Cup. As they look forward to the 100th season, the Leafs have cemented a legendary new leadership team that is working to build the next era of championship hockey in Toronto. The Legacy Lab spoke to Brendan Shanahan, President and Alternate Governor of the Toronto Maple Leafs, and Hockey Hall of Fame inductee, not only about the Leafs’ storied past, but also about his ambition surrounding the team’s legacy in the making. Cups going back to 1918. But when I grew up, the team was not great. They have not been a con- sistently good hockey team since about the time Harold Ballard took over in roughly the 1960s and 1970s. Still, growing up, I always felt that Maple Leaf Gardens, the place where they played, and the blue and white colors they wore, were magical. What’s happened over the last many decades, the lack of sustained suc- cess, has been unfortunate. And it is one of the main reasons why I was attracted when I was approached to take over the team. I wanted to come back to my hometown and do my best to restore the team to its origins. The Toronto Maple Leafs should be the New York Yankees of hockey.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE APRIL 22, 2019 STANLEY CUP PLAYOFF SECOND-ROUND BERTHS AT STAKE IN GAME 7 DOUBLEHEADER TUESDAY NEW YORK (April 22, 2019) -- Two Stanley Cup Playoff series will be decided in a Game 7 doubleheader Tuesday when the Boston Bruins play host to the Toronto Maple Leafs (7 p.m., ET, NBCSN, Sportsnet, CBC, TVAS), followed by the San Jose Sharks facing the Vegas Golden Knights (10 p.m., ET, NBCSN, Sportsnet, TVAS). The past two playoff series between the Bruins and Maple Leafs have culminated in unprecedented Game 7 drama, both occurring at TD Garden. In 2013, Boston became the first team in NHL history to overcome a three-goal, third-period deficit to win a Game 7 (Boston 5, Toronto 4 ,OT). In 2018, the Bruins became the first team in League history to overcome three deficits of at least one goal to win a Game 7 in regulation (Boston 7, Toronto 4). Five current Bruins appeared in both the 2013 and 2018 contests: goaltender Tuukka Rask, defenseman Zdeno Chara and forwards Patrice Bergeron, Brad Marchand and David Krejci. Two Maple Leafs players have done so: defenseman Jake Gardiner and forward Nazem Kadri. Chara (0-4--4 in 12 GP) is set to tie an NHL record by playing in his 13th career Game 7, joining all-time co-leaders Patrick Roy and Scott Stevens.

    DOBBER’S 2010-11 FANTASY GUIDE DOBBERHOCKEY.COM – HOME OF THE TOP 300 FANTASY PLAYERS I think we’re at the point in the fantasy hockey universe where DobberHockey.com is either known in a fantasy league, or the GM’s are sleeping. Besides my column in The Hockey News’ Ultimate Pool Guide, and my contributions to this year’s Score Forecaster (fifth year doing each), I put an ad in McKeen’s. That covers the big three hockey pool magazines and you should have at least one of them as part of your draft prep. The other thing you need, of course, is this Guide right here. It is not only updated throughout the summer, but I also make sure that the features/tidbits found in here are unique. I know what’s in the print mags and I have always tried to set this Guide apart from them. Once again, this is an automatic download – just pick it up in your downloads section. Look for one or two updates in August, then one or two updates between September 1st and 14th. After that, when training camp is in full swing, I will be updating every two or three days right into October. Make sure you download the latest prior to heading into your draft (and don’t ask me on one day if I’ll be updating the next day – I get so many of those that I am unable to answer them all, just download as late as you can). Any updates beyond this original release will be in bold blue.
