The Maple Leafs had a chance to put this series to bed in Game 5 in Toronto, and in typical Leafs fashion, Toronto wet that bed. It is now 0-10 in the past 10 elimination games when it has had a chance to advance. The Leafs still haven't won a series since 2004.

The Lightning had been skidding hard, losing 3 straight games in this series since a dominant Game 1 victory (7-3, March 18). Tampa Bay dropped both Game 3 (4-3 in OT, Saturday) and Game 4 (5-4 in OT, Monday) on home ice in this series.
