The Toronto Maple Leafs have been out of the playoffs for weeks, but the 2022-23 NHL Season is now officially over and congratulations are somewhat due to the Las Vegas Golden Knights.
You’d think it would be embarrassing for an expansion team to win before the Toronto Maple Leafs did, but we’re used to it.
The Leafs have not won the Stanley Cup or played in the Finals since 1967 when the NHL had only 5 other teams. They didn’t win when there were 16 teams, 21 teams, 22 teams, 24, 30 or 32 teams.
Maybe 32 is their lucky number.
