So very saddened to hear of the passing of Ron Ellis. A wonderful two way player who was a key to the Leafs 67 Stanley Cup Run as well as the Team Canada 72 victory over the Russians. Ron always had a smile as he greeted you at the Hockey Hall of Fame. RIP #6

John Tavares has been named captain for Canada at the IIHF World Hockey Championship. Andrew Mangiapane, Colton Parayko and Damon Severson will serve as alternate captains.

Hearing that the Devils have sought and received permission to speak with Sheldon Keefe

Without saying it explicitly, the #leafs leadership/management couldn't have made it more clear reading between the lines that they're going to explore moving one or more members of their core this summer.

Keith Pelley: 'The fans here not only deserve but demand a championship. There's no complacency. We're not here to sell jerseys.'

Brad Treliving: 'We need to find a way to do the hard unsexy things longer, and they're not related to skill.'

Brad Treliving says the #leafs want to be thorough in their search for a new head coach, but adds 'we also understand there are other openings.'

'We're not waiting.'

Injury updates from Brad Treliving:

Auston Matthews -- became really sick after Gm 2, suffered a hit in Gm 4 that presented 'head injury' issues
William Nylander -- severe migraines
Joe Woll -- sprained back
Bobby McMann -- MCL knee sprain
Connor Dewar -- shoulder surgery

Brendan Shanahan says the #leafs will look at everything this summer and considering changing everything. He says the patterns have become too familiar to stay patient.

Brendan Shanahan: 'Our results in the playoffs have not been good enough. That's on me.'

Keith Pelley on the #leafs : 'We need to win. Nothing else matters.'

Keith Pelley, Brendan Shanahan and Brad Treliving address the media following the end of the #leafs season.

The Pistons’ Quentin Grimes and the Canucks’ Tyler Myers grew up a country apart. There’s a 10-year age gap. They come from different cultural backgrounds.

Yet, they’re the only NBA-NHL brother tandem ever.

Erik Karlsson will serve as Sweden's captain at the IIHF World Hockey Championship. Victor Hedman and Lucas Raymond are the alternate captains.

Another huge add for Team Canada at the Men’s World Hockey Championship. Toronto Maple Leafs captain John Tavares has agreed to represent his country and will join the team today.

When Zach Hyman & the #Oilers equipment staff saw SHAQ embracing his 'Shaq Hyman' persona on NHLonTNT, they sent the NBA legend an extra, extra, extra, extra large signed jersey plus a custom stick suitable for a seven-footer!

There's a lot going on in the hockey world right now, but my #CJShow co-host Julian McKenzie may have made the biggest headline of them all. ⬇️⬇️
