The Toronto Maple Leafs are an original six franchise who has the second-most Stanley Cup in NHL history.
If you say it like that, the Toronto Maple Leafs sound like quite the franchise, and to be honest, it’s a pretty misleading way to describe them. More accurate would be to say that the Leafs are a team that hasn’t won the Stanley Cup since the NHL expanded beyond six teams.
