Souvenirs : les Leafs jouent leur dernier match au Maple Leaf Gardens
Le 13 février 1999, les Maple Leafs disputent leur dernier match au Maple Leaf Gardens contre les Blackhawks, fermant ainsi l’arène historique en grand.
effing Leafs can't even win the final game at their own legendary arena, let alone win a Cup since the last moon landing! in their spare time they enjoy blowing 3-0 playoff series leads and disappointing die-hard fans for generations 👌🏻😉
1. The third incarnation of New York City's Madison Square Garden in 1968. 2. The Detroit Olympia in 1979. 3. Chicago Stadium in 1994. 4. Boston Garden in 1995. 5. Montreal Forum in 1996. 6. Maple Leaf Gardens in 1999.
It breaks my heart seeing photos and videos of such a unique and special place while never having been able to go. I was born a year after the place was shut down. The fact that it is a Loblaws now with the original façade and an ice rink for Ryerson is just an insult more than anything. The classic arenas should have been preserved. Toronto as a whole has moved from Honest Ed's and Classic Theaters into chain stores and condos.

End of an era
