Toronto Maple Leafs 2024-25 Stanley Cup Betting
The misery of the Toronto Maple Leafs and their fans continued last year with another playoff failure. The last time the Toronto Maple Leafs won the Stanley Cup was 1967, the final season of the Original Six and just a few months before the NHL expanded from six to 12 teams. Last year analytics fanatic Kyle Dubas was let go as general manager. This offseason, Sheldon Keefe paid for Toronto’s perpetual playoff failures with his job. Toronto has not been able to shake the reputation for being an entitled and soft country club that lacks the grit to win the Stanley Cup. Second year general manager and new head coach Craig Berube will try and force the Leafs to develop the sandpaper necessary for a championship.

Toronto Maple Leafs History
The Toronto Maple Leafs have won 13 Stanley Cup championships but none since 1967. They were founded in 1917 as an “Original Six” franchise. Famous stars like Johnny Bower, Ace Bailey, Red Kelly, King Clancy, Tim Horton, George Armstrong, Dave Keon, and Darryl Sittler have won the Maple Leaf sweater.
1967 was the final Original Six season before the Great Expansion in which the NHL doubled in six from six to 12 teams. The fact that the Leafs have not won a championship in the expansion era is a source of great embarrassment to a historical organization and a fan base that rubs many the wrong way as entitled and arrogant.
The Maple Leafs have used skill and offense to entertain and earn high seeds in the Stanley Cup Playoffs in the past several seasons. But the Maple Leafs showed their lack of toughness, grit, defense, and goaltending with annual playoff flops. Toronto fans always believe that this year will be different. And their money is plentiful enough to change the betting lines. But Wise Guys will use the adage about the definition of insanity, which is to expect a different result by doing the same thing repeatedly.
As the most valuable franchise in the NHL, the Maple Leafs are the most popular team in Canada and on the board.
Retired Maple Leaf numbers include goalies Turk Broda and Johnny Bower #1, defenseman Hap Day and center Red Kelly #4, defenseman Bill Barilko #5, right wing Ace Bailey #6, defensemen King Clancy and Tim Horton #7, right wing Charlie Conacher and center Ted Kennedy #9, center Syl Apps and right wing George Armstrong #10, center Mats Sundin #13, center Dave Keon #14, left wing Wendel Clark #17, defenseman Borje Salming #21, left wing Frank Mahovlich and center Darryl Sittler #27, and center Doug Gilmour #93.
