1 hour 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...

If you're feeling stressed lately, forget screaming into your pillow, because a Toronto artist is inviting you to unleash your rage, sorrow, or stress in the open with hundreds of others as part of a local "group scream."On Saturday, May 3, Trinity Bellwoods Park will echo with more than just bird chirping and weekend chatter thanks to Grace Turner, the voice behind the music project City Builders. The group scream is set to be a communal release of collective frustration, heartbreak, and maybe even a little bit of joy.The scream-along comes just before Turner's debut single, "Learning to Miss You," which drops on May 6. The song is, in Turner's words, "emotional" and "gut-wrenching," and is a raw ballad born from the pain of a recent breakup.Turner announced the group scream on her social media channels, thinking that others might also be in need of a good scream, and turns out she was right.@wearecitybuilders You h...
