Seven is supposed to be a lucky number, but for the Toronto Maple Leafs, May 13, 2013 still haunts Leafs Nation.
For hockey fans, the 2012-13 season was weird (kind of like this year). Instead of your typical six-month regular season, it was a 48-game sprint from January to April because of the lockout.
Despite a shortened season, Toronto Maple Leafs fans didn’t seem to mind, as their beloved team made the playoffs for the first time since 2004.
Although the Toronto Maple Leafs were a fifth seed heading into the playoffs, people joked throughout the city that this would obviously be the one year they won the Stanley Cup.
