The Toronto Maple Leafs are officially out of the NHL playoffs and they might have a surprise reason to blame.
Justin Bieber, a longtime fan of the team, attended the game with his wife, Hailey.
The two were sitting behind the benches and got a front-row seat to the 6-1 beatdown at the hands of the Florida Panthers.
After the game, another A-list celebrity chimed in on Bieber’s attendance.
Drake posted on Instagram “Bieber curse…” in response to the Leafs’ playoff elimination.

Drake had some motivation behind the diss. He dropped over $1,000,000 on Toronto to win the game. He added another $250,000 on the Leafs to win by two or more goals.
Needless to say, the music star walked away empty handed.

“The Drake Curse” has been a running gag in many sports circles. From Alabama Football to Kentucky Basketball, the man otherwise known as Aubrey Graham has been a part of a lot of bad gambling losses.
He’s adding this one to the pile, but placing the blame on Bieber.
Whichever pop star wants to…
