Joey Crabb News

It seems so long ago, on February 6, 2012, that the Leafs held down first place in the Eastern Conference and the entire NHL .

It's been a long, tumultuous and agonizing last eight years or so to be a Leaf fan, and this year's collapse after the All-Star break may be a breaking point for Leafs Nation.

Toronto Maple Leafs winger Joey Crabb is heading to the IIHF World Hockey Championship to represent the U.S. Crabb developed into a useful checking line winger for the Leafs this season, putting up 26 points in 67 games.
