The Toronto Maple Leafs are original members of the National Hockey Association, the league that became the National Hockey League in 1917. In the fifty-one seasons between 1917 and 1967 the Maple Leafs won thirteen Stanley Cups. In the forty-two seasons since then they haven’t won so much as a Conference Championship. They are the Chicago Cubs of hockey. The Toronto Maple Leafs are a guaranteed sell-out every home game and most ones on the road. Home games are at the Air Canada Centre, home also to the Toronto Raptors NBA team. Awesomeseating has tickets for both. The Leafs, legendary for their playoff rivalry with the Montreal Canadiens and, more recently, the Ottawa Senators, haven’t had a chance to test themselves in the playoffs since 2004, when the team eliminated the Ottawa Senators in seven in the Quarterfinals and lost in six to the Flyers in the Semis. It would be nice to say things are getting better, but the truth is that the team’s 83 point total for the 2007-08 season was the lowest in over a decade. That, however, may be the bottom. In January of 2008 GM John Ferguson Jr. was fired and was replaced by Cliff Fletcher, a former Maple Leaf GM who was at loose ends after being fired the previous April by the Phoenix Coyotes, where he’d been the Senior Executive Vice-President of Hockey Operations. The firing came at the end of the Coyotes’ worst season since relocating to Phoenix from Winnipeg in 1996. In May Fletcher fired head coach Paul Maurice and his assistant coach, Randy Ladouceur. They were replaced by Ron Wilson, ex- San Jose Sharks head coach, and two assistants, Tim Hunter and Rob Zettler. Wilson’s head coaching record makes him perfect for the Toronto Maple Leafs: strictly middle of the road. He started head coaching with the Anaheim Mighty Ducks in 1993-94. In his four seasons there the team made it to the playoffs once. In 1997 he took the Washington Capitals head coaching job. The club made it all the way the Stanley Cup Finals, where they were swept by the Detroit Pistons. More recently, he coached the Sharks to the playoffs for the past 4 seasons, including a Conference Final in ’04. The Toronto Maple Leafs are in the Northeast Division of the 3-division Eastern Conference of the National Hockey League. Awesomeseating.com offers cheap tickets and luxury tickets for all NHL teams.
