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.

Shortly after the game, Drake attempted to take some of the heat off of himself by not acknowledging the "Drake Curse." Instead, in a post on his Instagram story, the Toronto-born rapper blamed pop star Justin Bieber for the Maple Leafs' struggles continuing when it comes to Game 7.

Heading into Sunday night’s crucial Game 7, Drake went with his heart and bet big on the Toronto Maple Leafs to beat the Florida Panthers.

The lure of a Game 7 is typically so much more appealing than its actual delivery. Hockey manages this better than basketball, to be sure (the seventh games in the NBA Playoffs this decade have an average final score of 113-95),

Mitch Marner loves Toronto. How can you blame him? Just under 10 years ago, the kid from Markham was drafted by his boyhood club. Since then, he’s scored 741 in 657 games with the Maple Leafs logo on his jersey.
