The Toronto Maple Leafs are kicking off the 2020 NHL Playoffs with a five game qualifying series against the Columbus Blue Jackets. This will be the first time these two teams will meet in any kind of playoff format, so there isn’t any history to discuss there. Instead we’ll look at the Maple Leafs history playing in five game series.
Coach: George O’Donoghue
Captain: Reg Noble
The Maple Leafs first five game series came before they were the Toronto Maple Leafs. In 1922 the Toronto St. Patricks were the NHL champions and faced off against the Pacific Coast Hockey Association champion Vancouver Millionaires for the Stanley Cup.
