The Maple Leafs were eliminated from the playoffs on Sunday night with a 6-1 loss to the Florida Panthers in yet another Game 7. This is the eighth straight winner-take-all game t

According to The Fourth Period's David Pagnotta, the Leafs are among the teams that could pursue Kreider this summer. In a piece for The Fourth Period, Pagnotta noted that New York may shop the 34-year-old winger to free up space.

The Maple Leafs (52-26-4) finished first in the Atlantic Division with 108 points, six ahead of the Tampa Bay Lightning and eight of the Panthers. Toronto then won only its second postseason series in 21 years by eliminating the Ottawa Senators in six games in the first round.

The Toronto Maple Leafs did look different at times throughout their 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs run. However, the final result was the same as the Maple Leafs got booed off the Scotiabank Arena ice following a 6-1 drubbing at the hands of the Florida Panthers in Game 7.

Can Toronto accommodate its former captain? Could Tavares be headed back to free agency as one of the top players available?

Indeed, the Maple Leafs came into this contest having lost six consecutive Game 7s, including five with Matthews, Marner, forward William Nylander and defenseman Morgan Rielly in the lineup. This was their chance to finally change the narrative.

When I say Toronto didn't stand a chance, I don't mean against Florida. Ordinarily, those Maple Leafs could absolutely beat the Panthers. Instead, what Toronto didn't stand a chance against was history. The Leafs were always going to blow this game. There was waaaaaay too much stink involved all around for Toronto to get it done.

Chris Rooney was hurt 13 seconds into the second period when he caught an errant stick in the face during the Panthers-Maple Leafs game.

The Maple Leafs haven't advanced beyond the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs for nine straight seasons.

The Toronto Maple Leafs are eliminated from the playoffs and have fallen short of expectations. Stop me if you've heard that one before.

Maple Leafs have been projected to win it all under Brendan Shanahan, but can't even get out of 2nd round. Again. That doesn't help Red Wings fans.

There's a lot of blame to go around for the way this era of the Toronto Maple Leafs has ended. For a reasonable sports fan, one would expect the blame to be placed at the feet of the players who played in yet another disappointing Game 7 as the team has lost its eighth winner-take-all game in a row.
