The Leafs haven’t won a playoff series since they faced the Ottawa Senators in 2004

Fans of the Toronto Maple Leafs need no reminders of the team’s recent failures in the playoffs.

The series was the Maple Leafs’ only trip to the playoffs in the 11-season span between 2005-06 and 2015-16. After losing three of the first four games, Toronto salvaged the series and forced a Game 7, where it blew a 4-1 lead in the final 11 minutes of regulation and lost in overtime. Toronto has also suffered embarrassment at the hands of the Columbus Blue Jackets and Washington Capitals . Most recently, Tampa Bay ruined Toronto’s hopes.The Leafs lost in seven games to the Lightning in 2022, extending Toronto’s streak of 10 straight losses in series-clinching games.

It was April of 2004 when Toronto beat the Ottawa Senators, an offensive powerhouse that led the league in goals per game and power-play goals. The Senators were in their eighth consecutive trip to the playoffs.
