"I didn't want to say it, but you look at what happened to Detroit a few nights ago, and you don't want that happening to you." The Senators have already done something the Toronto Maple Leafs couldn't do last year in the first round, and that's defeat the Islanders at Nassau. New York went 3-0 in its rink during the 2002 playoffs, helping to push the series with the Maple Leafs to seven games. "We know that they're going to come out stro |

| Toronto, Ontario (MySportsbook) - Toronto Maple Leafs forward Shayne Corson left the team Tuesday, resigning from the organization after three seasons. Corson was a healthy scratch for Monday's 4-3 double overtime win over the Philadelphia Flyers and has been discontent with his role on the team for some time. The 2002-03 season was a rocky one for the 36-year-old left winger, as he appeared in just 46 games due to injury and ineffectiveness and totaled just 15 points. At one point in February, he was a healthy |
