OK. I admit it: I’m a diehard Leafs fan. I guess that comes from being born in Toronto. Every year, when the Stanly Cup playoffs come around again, lots of Toronto Maple Leafs supporters cross their fingers, hoping that, against all odds, they’ll make it back to the top by defeating all oncoming teams.

So, for the last 57 seasons, they have been unsuccessful to repeat their success of 1967. You could say that they’re becoming the Chicago Cubs of the NHL. But, as we always say, “Maybe next year!”
