At this point, however, what was once a source of pride is a source of embarrassment. The Toronto Maple Leafs, a team as old as the NHL itself, hasn’t won a Stanley Cup for a while. You might be passingly familiar with the date of their last win in 1967, but what’s worse is that they’ve never even played for the Cup since.
Last year the expansion team played for the Stanley Cup. In one season they randomly went farther than the Leafs have in over 50 years. The Ducks, Senators, Lightning, Panthers and Sharks have all made it farther than the Leafs.
