The Toronto Maple Leafs last won a Stanley Cup in 1967.
Saying that it’s been 53 years since the Toronto Maple Leafs won doesn’t do justice to just how badly they have failed over the last five decades. Just saying the number is an insult to the spectacular ways in which they failed.
They have not even played for the Stanley Cup a single time since the NHL expanded beyond six teams. It’s a pathetic legacy matched by no other team, and made only lamer by the reverence for championships that occur ed when there were only six teams.
