Tim Tebow-mania knows no bounds. It's spread across the border into Canada and it's even made the jump into hockey. Maple Leafs forward Colton Orr -- who Bruins fans might remember as that guy who got punched in the face by Shawn Thornton earlier this season -- participated in an exhibition shootout during Leafs Nation Fan Night. To celebrate after scoring, he dropped to one knee and Tebowed. Check it out in the video below.

Oh, how very witty, Colton Orr. How very witty, indeed. On Tuesday, the Toronto Maple Leafs held the inaugural “Leafs Nation Fan Night,” an event where 13,000 die-hard fans showed up at Air Canada Centre to enjoy all-things Maple Leafs. Among the festivities was a four-on-four scrimmage, a light workout and at the end of [...]

The Toronto Maple Leafs didn't have a chance to follow any of the guidelines set out in the NHL's concussion protocol because they were unaware the forward was even experiencing symptoms until almost 48 hours after the collision that caused them.
Armstrong was injured Saturday night against Vancouver,...

Last Friday niight, Leafs captain, Dion Phaneuf, earned himself a five, ten, and a game for smashing Kickassian from behind on the glass behind Reimer's net.
After the game, Phaneuf said that he didn't mean to board Kassian. The Sabres were expecting NHL Czar of Discipline, Brendan Shanahan, to review the Phaneuf hit. Lindy Ruff mentioned in his post game presser...

Should we give Reggie Bush a tiny bit of respect this week? Just a tiny bit? The Dolphins running back took home AFC Offensive Player of the Week, and also had a pretty sweet end zone celebration to go with it.
But was his celebration better than Colton Orr’s? That’s going to be a tough one.
We’ve seen a lot of pretty nice celebrations this season. I don’t...
