None of the Maple Leafs were. This was the biggest game in franchise history in 23 years. With a victory in Game 7 of the best-of-7 Eastern Conference Second Round, Toronto would reach the conference final for the first time since 2002 when they faced the Carolina Hurricanes.

TORONTO – Mitch Marner gathered steam with the puck in his own zone, as he had done hundreds of times before as a Maple Leaf, but quickly had to side-step something he never had before. One of many Toronto Maple Leafs jerseys that had been thrown on the ice in the middle of Game 7 landed in Marner’s lane.

Toronto fans were subjected to yet another painful night in a 6-1 home drubbing that extended the NHL’s longest Stanley Cup drought.
