Do you remember the last time the Toronto Maple Leafs won a playoff round? It was way back in 2004 (18 year ago). Times were much different back then. There were no smart phones, there were no shows streaming on Netflix, and there was no NHL salary cap.
From 1992 to 2004, the Toronto Maple Leafs had a good thing going. Sure, they didn’t win any Stanley Cups, but they went to the Conference Finals four times and only missed the playoffs twice. They were the best Leafs teams of the past 50 years (or since they last won the Cup).
