Lifting the Leafs losing curse
In a record-breaking 2021-22 NHL season, Toronto Maple Leafs superstar Auston Matthews scored more goals than any other Leaf in history, and the team finished with more wins than in any other season.\n\nBut for some fans, those accomplishments will only make the loss even more painful if the Leafs can\u2019t succeed in the playoffs.\n\nThe Leafs haven\u2019t won the Stanley Cup since 1967, and haven\u2019t won a single playoff series since 2004. Toronto is now tied 1-1 in its first-round series against the defending Cup champions, the Tampa Bay Lightning, after one decisive win and one wildly uneven loss.\n\nToday, a staple of the Maple Leafs fandom joins us to explain the modern history of Leafs losses, and why his growing frustration has given way to greater optimism than ever. Steven Glynn \u2014 better known as Steve Dangle \u2014 is the host of a podcast, Sportsnet live streams and a YouTube channel that\u2019s been reacting to the Leafs for 15 seasons.
