61 m. ago Toronto Maple Leafs doing exactly the thing you thought they would in playoffs

Not to be dramatic, but the Toronto Maple Leafs might actually be cursed.The Buds were blanked in another blown opportunity to close out a playoff series on Tuesday night, bringing the Battle of Ontario to a nail-biting 3-2 lead for the Leafs after what seemed like an unbreakable 3-0 series advantage.The team has now posted an unthinkably terrible 2-14 record in series-clinching playoff games since 2004, following a 4-0 loss to the Ottawa Senators before a stunned crowd at Scotiabank Arena.Tuesday's loss proved just the latest chapter in what has become a saga of the Leafs' long-term struggles in close-out games.Like the years-long choke fest it contributed to, the game was replete with missed opportunities, frustrations, and the team's stars seemingly vanishing off the surface of the ice when it counted the most.Game 6 will bring the series back to Ottawa on Thursday, where the Leafs will have a third consecutive opportunity to close out the first round.Should...

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...
