Twitter blames 'Bieber curse' for Leafs' loss to Bruins
A prayer from Justin Bieber couldn't help the Toronto Maple Leafs in Game 7 on Tuesday night, as they saw their season come to an end with a 5-1 loss to the Boston Bruins.
Bieber, who attended the game with wife Hailey Bieber, made his allegiances clear before puck drop, posting a photo of the Leafs logo on his Instagram account along with the message, "Dear lord please be with Austin Mathews, Mitch Marner and all of the Toronto Maple Leafs tonight as they play game 7 against the Boston Bruins."

The pop star's presence led some on Twitter to blame him and the "Bieber curse" for the Leafs' early playoff exit.
Not today @justinbieber #BostonStrong

Is there a Bieber curse with the Maple Leafs to go along with the Drake curse? https://t.co/ELPHQI5qKr

yalda and i came to an interesting realization: the last time one of the big three toronto sports teams (leafs, raptors, jays) won a championship was october 1993. justin bieber was born march 1994 and since then, no championships. did justin bieber curse toronto? our column
