How did the 2022-23 season pan out for the Toronto Maple Leafs?
The Maple Leafs entered the 2022-23 NHL season for the 106th time in their franchise history. They finished the regular season by coming second in the Atlantic Division of the Eastern Conference. The Leafs got a direct qualification and entered the 2023 playoffs for the 72nd time in their history.
In Round 1, they were up against the Tampa Bay Lightning and defeated them 4-2 to clinch the first-round series for the first time in 19 years. In Round 2, the Leafs were defeated by the Florida Panthers in five games.
One of the primary reasons that led to the elimination of Leafs from Round 2 was the lack of contribution from their star offense throughout the series against the Florida Panthers.
The Maple Leafs playoff run in 2022-23 was a failure, and there could be many new faces in the organization at the start of the next season, the transition for which has already begun.
