3 h. ago Leafs players roamed Toronto streets before playoff games and hardly anyone noticed

There's a common belief held that if you ever find yourself as a member of the Toronto Maple Leafs, your life will never be the same.With a rabid media market, eagle-eyed fans, and about as much pressure as any professional athlete could be expected to have, even fringe Leafs players are assumed to have a tough time being anonymous in Toronto.But that might not exactly be the case.Posted up on the corner of Bay and Front streets before Game 1 and 2 against the Ottawa Senators in the opening round of the playoffs this week, fan Brian Encarnacao shared a few videos on his Instagram page of Leafs players opting to walk down the street to Scotiabank Arena rather than take a car or public transit.With thousands of fans packed into Maple Leaf Square, the arena itself, and nearby bars, restaurants, and condos to watch the game, you'd imagine the players would be bugged by people trying to stop them for an autograph or a quick pic.One of the players spotted by Encarnacao before both...

23 h. ago Snoop Dogg shows love to Toronto Maple Leafs after huge playoff win

The Toronto Maple Leafs got a pretty big celebrity shoutout on Instagram after a massive overtime win on Tuesday night.In the moments following the goal that gave Toronto a 2-0 series lead over the Ottawa Senators, Snoop Dogg uploaded a photo he took last year with Leafs forwards Ryan Reaves and the overtime hero of last night's game himself, Max Domi.With Reaves not in the lineup, however, there was a bit of a rude crop on Snoop Dogg's end, cutting Reaves out of the picture entirely, which was posted with the simple caption "Leafs" followed by the pawprint, fist and fuel pump emojis.    View this post on Instagram           A post shared by snoopdogg (@snoopdogg)Snoop himself is a longtime hockey fan, often repping many different jerseys of the cities he visits on tour and attending games wherever he can along the way.

The Toronto Maple Leafs have a 2-0 series lead for the first time since 2003.Last time, it was Tie Domi who helped the Leafs jump out to the multi-game lead. This time, it was his son, Max Domi, who scored in overtime to help the Leafs sweep the first two home games against the Ottawa Senators.Domi got the puck on his stick in the slot and beat Linus Ullmark cleanly to see Leafs fans into a frenzy.Tie was in the crowd at Scotiabank Arena and was celebrating after Max's shot found the back of the net."It's a heck of a play by [Benoit], he made that whole thing happen," said Max humbly postgame. "Got a little lucky when it squeaked through, I'm not sure if it was Cozens or who it was, but a little lucky and then you get inside the hashmarks like that, the middle of the ice, you've just got to shoot it. Ullmark's a heck of a goalie, but we'll take it."MAX DOMI WINS IT FOR THE LEAFS IN OVERTIME. A CHILDHOOD DREAM COME TRUE 🤩MAPLE LEAF SQUARE ...

50 h. ago There's a secret hack for getting Toronto Maple Leafs playoffs tickets for cheap

Any Toronto Maple Leafs fan who lives close enough to Scotiabank Arena has probably complained at least once in their lifetime about the high ticket prices, particularly in the playoffs.Looking at the resale market for playoff tickets for this year, whether you were looking to see the team in Toronto or Ottawa, you couldn't get in for a price cheaper than at least $300 or so.But if you are willing to be a little bit patient, things might just swing in your favour — and save you a few bucks toward finding your way into the building.During Sunday night's Game 1 against the Ottawa Senators, prices showed for as little as $151 on StubHub in the minutes after puck drop during the opening frame.If you waited until the end of the first period, the cheapest price for a standing room ticket in the upper deck had gone down to $85 at 7:48 p.m. By 8:14 p.m., those same tickets had dropped to $83, and at 8:18 p.m., they'd been put up at $67, perhaps uncanny ...

2 d. ago Senators coach accuses Toronto Maple Leafs of 'selling' penalty calls

The Toronto Maple Leafs and Ottawa Senators clearly don't like each other after just one playoff game.Game 1 was chippy with big hits thrown by both sides. The referees ended up issuing 22 penalties, all of which occurred in the final 40 minutes.The Maple Leafs had six power plays, scoring three goals with the man-advantage to come out with a 6-2 victory. On the other hand, the Senators had only two power plays, a discrepancy that Senators coach Travis Green suggested post-game could be due to embellishment."We definitely have to stay out of the box, I'll say that," Green told reporters. "At the end of the game, sometimes, it can get a little out of hand once in a while."I thought there were a couple calls that they did a good job selling, it's tough on the refs, but we can't take that many penalties."The biggest dive you'll ever see.
