Crashing out might be par for the course for the Maple Leafs, but historically nobody in professional sports has mastered losing in the playoffs quite like the Toronto Maple Leafs. Sunday night marked the ninth season in a row the team has made the playoffs,

The Maple Leafs (52-26-4) finished first in the Atlantic Division with 108 points, six ahead of the Tampa Bay Lightning and eight of the Panthers. Toronto then won only its second postseason series in 21 years by eliminating the Ottawa Senators in six games in the first round.

Florida moves on to face the Carolina Hurricanes in the Eastern Conference Final beginning Tuesday and aiming at winning the Stanley Cup in back-to-back seasons.

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

The Toronto Maple Leafs are eliminated from the playoffs and have fallen short of expectations. Stop me if you've heard that one before.

What went so wrong for the Maple Leafs again this spring? Let’s break down the biggest problems. Stars fail. The way the Leafs are built, the stars have to rule. A
