Another year full of promise that ends in devastation: such is the legacy of the Toronto Maple Leafs. On Sunday night, the Leafs read their final egg of the 2024-25 season in front of a crowd sold by Toronto when the Florida Panthers fell 6-1, ending their season in the second round of the NHL Stanley Cup playoffs.
Chocar can be even the course for the Maple Leafs, but historically nobody In professional sport, loss in playoffs such as Toronto Maple Leafs has dominated. On Sunday night he marked the ninth consecutive season, the team has reached the playoffs, just to be eliminated in the first or second round. Now it is also a 23 -year -old internship when the team arrived at the conference finals.
If that sounds bad, I promise you that it is about to be a lot, much worse.
When we observe the main professional sports in North America, the NFL, the NBA, MLB, WNBA and NHL here are the teams that have reached the playoffs most of the time in the last 50 years without winning a royal championship.
- NFL: Minnesota Vikings – 26 LIARAS DE PLAYOFS, 6 Conference Championship Literas, 1 Literas del Super Bowl, 0 Championships
- NBA: Atlanta Hawks – 31 Literas de Playoffs, 2 Conference Championship Literas, 0 Literas from the NBA finals, 0 championships
- MLB: Milwaukee Breweers – 10 Literas de Playoffs, 2 championship bunk beds
- WNBA: Connecticut Sun – 17 Literas de Playoffs, 11 Conference Championship Literas, 2 Literas of the WNBA Finals, 0 Championships
- NHL: Toronto Maple Leafs – 32 Literas de Playoffs, 6 Conference Championship Literas, 0 Final Literas of the Stanley Cup, 0 Championships
One could argue that the Vikings are the saddest team in professional sports, but at least they achieved it to The Super Bowl four times just for their hopes to fade. Football is also a single game elimination format means that anyone can have a bad day and bouncing, Waseas having the best series of seven truual gives a good team the opportunity to fight.
And yet, the Leafs continue to fail.
Of their 36 appearances in playoffs since 1968, the Leafs have only passed the first or second round six times. That means that he could be a 57 -year -old Toronto fan, and the duration of his entire life, the team has reached 63% of the seasons, but has only given him the feeling that he could win it 16% of the time.
Not only this, but the same duration of the Leafs has ended first or second at the East Conference at the end of the regular season 10 times. On 10 separate occasions they were one of the best hockey teams just to let everything slide through their fingers. In the first 50 years of its existence, Los Leafs, 12 Stanley Cup championships, were a usual blockade for the final of the Cup, and in the last 50 years a Páramo is a leg.
When it takes into account the weight of the importance of hockey in Toronto, the brilliance legacy that the leafs had from 1917 to 1967, and the expectation of this team has every time the ice on the ice in the ice in the loss of this arce sheet is like sports.
I’m sorry.
