DARCY TUCKER RUMORS & GOSSIP

TORONTO (Jan. 30) – The perfect summary of Darcy Tucker’s playing career in the National Hockey League occurred during a ten-day span in October 2009 – a transitory blip that connected elation and despair. Having returned to the arena in which he made his name, Tucker enjoyed a prosperous, emotional night on Oct. 13 of that season, scoring once and setting up another...

There is about to be a new hockey agent, and there is nothing typical about his background.  Darcy Tucker played 14 seasons in the NHL prior to making the announcement that he will be starting a new career representing those who have aspirations of performing at a professional level. In an ESPN...

Joining a long line of players that honed their skills in the late 1990’s and early 2000’s, former Toronto Maple Leaf Darcy Tucker has elected to hang up his skates in favor of retirement. Known for his tenacious brand of hockey, intense compete level and ability to get underneath the skin of opposing players, Tucker leaves the game after 14 seasons, where he accumulated a total...

I was never much of a Darcy Tucker fan.He was a small man who played a big man’s game. He threw big hits, would fight just about anyone and excelled at the cross-crease tap in on the power play.

Well that didn't take long, did it? After the departure of Darcy Tucker this summer, the Toronto Maple Leafs have found a new shit-stain to wear the blue and white.

A question mark continues to float over winger Darcy Tucker's future in Toronto, with indications persisting that he will be the first Leaf to be bought out of his contract once the period for buyouts opens June 15.

Leafs third period collapse and the fight of the year?

The guy is finally starting to get the ink he deserves. Hockey has changed to a new Era, and he is the era's new model enforcer. Barry Melrose's choice of him on TV has his hitter of the year to date, only solidifies this. He skates hard and isn't a liabilityt, and is good enough to scare one of the premier rougher/contributors in Darcy Tucker.
