They have been eliminated from the playoffs in the first round several times, including a series where they blew a 3-1 lead.

Despite having multiple opportunities to secure victories, such as holding 3-1 series leads or three-goal leads with only seven minutes remaining, the Maple Leafs have consistently failed to deliver when it counts the most.
