Welcome to a grumpy special edition of Page 6ix: Locker room cleanout. For today’s column, your writer is feeling salty and therefore will just be dumping the Leafs locker room cleanout quotes in here and snarking about them. There are many tweets from many reporters about what the players said, so I collected some…
I did not want to write this pre-game. I put my name down for it hoping it would be unnecessary. But yet, here we are. Do I really need to recap for us how we got here? Leafs blew a 3-1 series lead and now all hope hinges on game 7, which historically has not…
