The ghost of playoff failures past once again haunts Toronto as the Maple Leafs suffer another devastating Game 7 collapse. We break down their latest disappointment—a 3-1 loss to the Florida Panthers that extends the franchise's Stanley Cup drought to 58 agonizing years.

Toronto's Jekyll and Hyde performance throughout the series culminated in a home ice no-show where they registered zero shots in the first nine minutes while Florida piled up 23 shot attempts. Even more telling: the Leafs are now 0-8 when attempting to clinch a playoff series at home during the Matthews era. When fans start booing their own team and throwing jerseys onto the ice, you know something fundamental needs to change.

What should that change be? We dive into the tough decisions facing Toronto's front office. Should Mitch Marner be traded? Does the captaincy need to be taken from Matthews? Can Tavares accept a massive pay cut when his contract expires? The core four that has dominated regular season play for years simply can't seem to perform when the pressure mounts, and we explore what comes next.

Looking ahead, we preview the Edmonton-Dallas Western Conference Final rematch, a series promising far more entertainment than last year's affair. The Oilers are flying high after dismantling Vegas, with Evander Kane playing smart, disciplined hockey—a key ingredient to their success. Plus, we highlight Sidney Crosby and phenom Macklin Celebrini's impressive chemistry at the World Championships.
