21 h. ago 5 Leafs players might be playing their last home game in Toronto

For much of the Toronto Maple Leafs' playoff run, they've been able to avoid one of the toughest parts about life in the NHL.Winning six of their first 10 playoff games, the vibes have been mostly high in the Leafs' world for how things have shaken out thus far.Despite allowing the Florida Panthers to tie their second-round series at two games apiece (and allowing the Ottawa Senators two wins after initially taking a 3-0 series lead), Toronto has been able to keep themselves in the hunt for the Stanley Cup as long as the franchise has seen since 2004.But with a maximum of three games left in their series against Florida, we've suddenly hit a make-or-break point: it could be the last time some of the team's players ever suit up for the Leafs.And on Wednesday night, for a crucial Game 5 that will put the winner one game away from clinching the series, it could actually be the last time some local fans get a chance to cheer on some of their biggest heroes if Toronto...

2 w. ago Will Arnett spotted hyping up Toronto Maple Leafs playoff crowd

The Toronto Maple Leafs turned to a bit of celebrity power to try to help them get going on Tuesday night.Down 1-0 in the second period in Game 5 of their first-round playoff matchup against the Ottawa Senators, Toronto-born actor and massive Leafs fan Will Arnett was brought out during a commercial break to lead the sold-out Scotiabank Arena crowd in a cheer.Toronto entered the night with a 3-1 lead on the series, but gave up the first goal of the night for the third game in a row to begin the night on an uphill battle.His appearance might've hyped up the crowd, but it didn't exactly have an immediate effect on the ice, as the Leafs entered the final frame of the game still being held scoreless.Will Arnett in the arena tonight for the Leafs v Sens pic.twitter.com/EIi1gSDubq— Lindsay Dunn (@LindsayDunnTV) April 30, 2025Toronto is aiming to win just its second playoff series since 2004, coincidentally first-round win over the Senators in an epic seven-game set.For Arnet...

The Toronto Maple Leafs have a 2-0 series lead for the first time since 2003.Last time, it was Tie Domi who helped the Leafs jump out to the multi-game lead. This time, it was his son, Max Domi, who scored in overtime to help the Leafs sweep the first two home games against the Ottawa Senators.Domi got the puck on his stick in the slot and beat Linus Ullmark cleanly to see Leafs fans into a frenzy.Tie was in the crowd at Scotiabank Arena and was celebrating after Max's shot found the back of the net."It's a heck of a play by [Benoit], he made that whole thing happen," said Max humbly postgame. "Got a little lucky when it squeaked through, I'm not sure if it was Cozens or who it was, but a little lucky and then you get inside the hashmarks like that, the middle of the ice, you've just got to shoot it. Ullmark's a heck of a goalie, but we'll take it."MAX DOMI WINS IT FOR THE LEAFS IN OVERTIME. A CHILDHOOD DREAM COME TRUE 🤩MAPLE LEAF SQUARE ...
