Wednesday night, the Leafs had a chance to take a 3-1 series lead on the Bruins in front of their home crowd that included Toronto's very own, Drake. Unfortunately for the team and their fans, the Buds squandered that chance and now go back to Boston with the series tied 2-2.
After the game, fans immediately called on the "Drake Curse" as the reason for the loss and Thursday, Mike Babcock was even asked about the curse, to which he had this response.
We agree, coach. We agree. At the same time, we understand why people still run with the tired and ridiculous narrative that also happens to be correct multiple times. It's the best and worst sports theory out there and it's seemingly never going to end, but the good news is Mike Babcock doesn't believe in the curse for a second (which is the correct and only reaction to it every single time) (H/T: Kristen Shilton)
