Maple Leafs Fans Buzzing After First Big Move of Offseason first appeared on Athlon Sports on May 22, 2025

Toronto Maple Leafs netminder Joseph Woll spoke on why the pressure this franchise faces is a positive thing, not a negative.

The Toronto Maple Leafs yet again went out sad in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, losing Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals 6-1 to the Florida Panthers

The Toronto Maple Leafs lost 6–1 to the Florida Panthers in Game 7 of their second-round Stanley Cup Playoff series on Sunday night. This marks the Leafs’ seventh consecutive Game 7 loss—and this one came after they led the series two games to none.

Marner was already linked to Carolina back in March when rumors of Rantanen being on the move came to light. It was reported that Marner decided not to waive his no movement club for the trade to possibly happen. With the door wide open, the Hurricanes could look to revisit this option.

The Toronto Maple Leafs have, once again, been eliminated from the Stanley Cup Playoffs. It marks the 58th consecutive year that the Maple Leafs have failed to win the Cup, and the 22nd straight season in which the team failed to reach the conference finals.

After the Florida Panthers topped the Toronto Maple Leafs in Game 7, the conference finals are officially set for the 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs. In the next two weeks, four teams will battle it out to see who will get the opportunity to play for the NHL's ultimate prize this postseason.

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