It’s no secret that the Toronto Maple Leafs struggle in the playoffs.
In fact, it’s been so long since the they won a series that the last time the Toronto Maple Leafs played a game in the second round, the European Union had 12 fewer countries.
Perhaps Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Slovakia, Slovenia, Bulgaria, and Romania all joining the EU had something to do with what appears to be a curse on the Maple Leafs.
In order for the Buds to try and break through in the playoffs, they should take advantage of their current situation.
