The current Toronto Maple Leaf team in 2010 are vastly lacking in talent and cohesion. Many problems are responsible including a lack of competition in the general area due to the Leagues Franchising rules (100 mi rule), as well as the general profitability of the Leafs without any need to actually be contenders.
The firing and replacement of Brian Burke in 2011 eventually leads to a marginally better team which makes the playoffs in 2013, but the Leafs do not make it to the finals. The Leafs make the playoffs sporadically until 2019, when their scouting improves, and they acquire some talented youngsters in the 2020 and 2021 drafts, after squandering their picks in the previous years, and replacing the GM again. It is not until 2024 that the Maple Leafs make a serious run to the cup, making it to the finals, but getting defeated by the LA Kings in 6 games, which is the Kings' first Stanley Cup! Unfortunately, Toronto is defeated by Ottawa in the second round of the 2025 playoffs, but they get their revenge in the 2026 playoffs, defeating the Senators in the Conference playoffs before beating St. Louis in 6 games to win the Stanley cup.
2013: No, the Toronto Maple Leafs were eliminated in the first round in 7 games by the Boston Bruins.
