We know now what the Maple Leafs do in the face of adversity. Or, better put, what they don’t do. They don’t flinch. The Leafs didn’t flinch on Thursday night in Ottawa when Senators captain Brady Tkachuk scored on his team’s first shot of the third period to tie the game. The Leafs didn’t flinch […]

20 h. ago Watching a Toronto Maple Leafs game at Maple Leaf Square made me a believer

MLSE's Toronto Maple Leafs tailgate parties have become an integral part of NHL playoff season in the city year after year, and I, a non-sports watcher, went down to find out what all the fuss is about for the first time.Let's set the stage. It's the eve of Game 2 in the battle of Ontario, and I'm packed like a sardine in a southbound TTC train headed, alongside dozens if not hundreds of blue-clad compatriots, to watch the game from outside Scotiabank Arena at Maple Leaf Square.Now, I'm a Leafs fan by virtue of birthright only — I can count on one hand the number of full games I've actually sat through — but, already seeing the sheer volume of fans planning to be physically present at the game (a tiny fraction, surely, of their total fan base), it's beginning to dawn on me that I've been missing out on something major this whole time. I just have to figure out what, exactly, that major something is, and Maple Leaf Squar...

If you're hanging onto some old furniture, mirrors, or lamps, you'll be pleased to hear that you can trade in select items for an IKEA gift card this week in the Greater Toronto Area. That's right, when you bring in an eligible, gently-used piece of furniture to a participating IKEA location, you'll receive either a $25 gift card for small furniture items or a $50 gift card for large furniture items. "We believe that all furniture deserves a second chance, even furniture that isn't ours," IKEA Canada's website reads. The initiative, which takes place between April 25 to 26 as part of Earth month, is in partnership with Furniture Bank, a registered charity and social enterprise that redistributes gently-used furniture and housewares to families and individuals experiencing furniture poverty.     View this post on Instagram           A post shared by IKEA Ca...

25 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...
