With the NHL having paid Wayne Gretzky the remaining funds owed to Wayne Gretzky from the Phoenix Coyotes, the rumours of his next NHL destination are in full swing. And theyre pointing to the NHLs biggest market: Toronto. With Gretzky paid out for what is believed to be $7 to 8 million, Gretzky may be eager to get back into the NHL and TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger reports that the Maple Leafs are very much interested in The Great Ones services. But could it actually happen? Dreger spoke with TSN Radio 1050 Torontos Mike Richards this morning, stating that there is a fit between Gretzky and the Leafs. "There definitely is a possibility because there is some history here," Dreger told TSN Radio. "Prior to the start of the season I know that [Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment CEO] Tim Leiweke and Wayne Gretzky and probably some legal people involved in this negotiation as well went back and forth and came very close until the deal broke down for a number of reasons that remain somewhat uncertain. The belief is that Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment wanted Gretzky at the time and still want him as almost an ambassador-type." However, MLSE doesnt see "ambassador-type" as merely a figure-head or spokesperson role, according to Dreger. "This isnt a token position," he told Richards. "They want to put him to work and they want to use him in different areas and not to pay specific attention to just the Toronto Maple Leafs." Dreger added that its not likely that Gretzky will be asked to fix the on-ice product of the Leafs. "Theyre happy with the work Dave Nonis is doing and dont want to interfere with the hockey operations department, but when youve got someone as [high] profile as Wayne Gretzky it makes a lot of sense, I suppose, to MLSE to do whatever you can to lure him in," he said. Gretzky and the Leafs have been linked by rumours throughout the year, including the off-season rumours as well as The Great One praising the young Leafs response to head coach Randy Carlyle in the first round of the 2013 Stanley Cup Playoffs against the Boston Bruins. "Its about believing in your system. The system starts with the head coach," Gretzky said of the Leafs following a gutsy Game 5 win over the Bruins. "Hes got tremendous credibility after winning a Stanley Cup himself [2007 in Anaheim]. Its not a question of players saying, Are we sure he knows what hes doing? Because theyre absolutely positive he knows what hes doing. The credibility starts right there with the coach." But would there be a fit between Gretzky and the team closest to his home town? Dreger thinks MLSE is at least willing to give it another try. "It didnt work out prior to the season but the sense I get is that therell be another attempt and I know that the Toronto Maple Leafs - or MLSE, as it were, as the bigger company – is definitely worth listening to if youre Wayne Gretzky." cheap jerseys .

You can see the game on TSN and TSN Mobile TV at 7pm et/4pm pt. Buffalo took a 1-0 decision in Thursdays opener before the second-seeded Flyers rebounded with a 5-4 victory in Saturdays Game 2 battle at Wells Fargo Center. Former Sabres star Danny Briere netted the winner late in the second period and Brian Boucher stopped 20-of-21 shots in a relief role for Philadelphia on Saturday to even the series at one game apiece. "We were fired up to start the game, theres no doubt about it," Briere said. "We just have to be careful. Its a fine line, crossing over to being too emotional, taking too many penalties." Claude Giroux, Dan Carcillo and Ville Leino also tallied for the Flyers, who won Game 2 despite finishing 1-for-10 on the power play. Philadelphia has scored just once on 15 opportunities with the man advantage in this series. The Flyers received offensive contributions from many sources on Saturday, as 11 different players record at least a point in the win. Boucher notched the win after starter Sergei Bobrovsky allowed three goals on seven shots in the first 12 1/2 minutes. There has been no official word on whether Boucher will get the start tonight or if head coach Peter Laviolette will return to the rookie Bobrovsky. Boucher played in 12 playoff games for Philly in its run to the Stanley Cup Finals last spring and posted a 6-6 record in those outings. Thomas Vanek scored twice for Buuffalo on Saturday while Cody McCormick also added a goal for the Sabres, who held a 3-2 lead briefly in the first period.dddddddddddd "We threw what we had at them and it just wasnt good enough tonight," Vanek said. Meanwhile, two days after recording his second career postseason shutout, Ryan Miller was shelled in the loss for all five goals on 34 shots. Philadelphia played once again without top defenseman Chris Pronger on Saturday, as the former Hart Trophy winner is still recovering from surgery to repair his fractured right hand. Pronger, who skated in just 50 games for Philly this season, is considered to be day-to-day, and is expected to be a game-time decision. Flyers forward Andreas Nodl is also questionable tonight after suffering an upper body in Game 2. The Sabres had defenseman Andrej Sekera back on the ice in Game 2 after he missed the final two tests of the regular season and the series opener with an upper body injury. Fellow blueliner Shaone Morrisonn, who suffered an upper body injury in Game 1, could miss a second straight game tonight. Philadelphia is 16-15 all-time when a series is tied at 1-1. The Sabres are 3-7 in their playoff history when splitting the first two games of a series on the road. The Flyers have taken five of their eight playoff series against Buffalo all- time, but the winner of Game 1 has won every postseason encounter between these clubs. Buffalo, which will also host Game 4 on Wednesday, was 21-16-4 as the home club this season. Philadelphia set a franchise record with 25 road wins this year and ended the season with a 25-11-5 mark as the guest. cheap jerseys wholesale jerseys ' ' '
