City Hall celly and Maple Leafs separated too long Via sunhornby
The symbolism of the Leafs being in the shadow of the Hall’s arches wasn’t lost on anyone. Not since Tavares’ predecessor George Armstrong brought the trophy to the Square when the place was barely two years old has there been a similar party for the Leafs. Going on 56 years since, every other Toronto pro sports team has been honoured here and coach Sheldon Keefe is surrounded by such pictures in Scotiabank Arena.
But Saturday’s 4-3 loss to Columbus, another defeat to a beatable team, was either too perplexing or peeving for Keefe.But when pressed further to explain, he said: “I can’t. You guys talked to the players. I’m sure you asked them the same questions. I can’t do the work for them.” The happy faces in the crowd on Sunday morning restored Keefe’s calm demeanour, though a regular indoor practice would’ve been harsh after splitting with the NHL’s last-place Jackets.
