Toronto Maple Leafs announcer Joe Bowen has slammed the home crowd for the Game 3 of the team's series against the Boston Bruins, saying it was "very disappointing."

Some of hockey's biggest names gathered at Air Canada Centre on Wednesday to pay tribute to Hall of Fame goaltender Johnny Bower. Those in attendance included NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman, Team Canada hero Paul Henderson, Canadiens great Yvon Cournoyer and Leafs icons Red Kelly, Darryl Sittler, Doug Gilmour and Rick Vaive.

What keeps Toronto Maple Leafs fans hanging on? Is it home town pride? Some say it is something they were "born into,” and others, the franchise’s storied history.
