The Maple Leafs changed their goalie against the Panthers on Thursday, marking a franchise first in the Stanley Cup Playoffs since 1981

The Toronto Maple Leafs are one of the oldest and most iconic franchises in the NHL. The team's history speaks for itself.

After practice on Tuesday, Maple Leafs head coach Craig Berube said Stolarz was "doing much better," but didn’t provide a timetable for his return. On Thursday, just one day before Game 6 in Florida, Berube offered a new update.

His final act as a celebrated star at Scotiabank Arena may ultimately be remembered for a dance of a much darker variety after he inexplicably spun off a defender in his own zone and tossed a no-look backhand pass up the middle of the ice to open the floodgates for the Florida Panthers on Wednesday night.

The Toronto Maple Leafs are on the verge of another massive playoff collapse and will likely be without a key face as the team travels for Game 6. On the brink

With the Panthers leading 5-0 midway through the third period, a fan threw an Auston Matthews jersey onto the ice. That followed a second period filled with boos, Bronx cheers, and an early exodus from the stands as fans responded to another lopsided postseason failure.

Toronto is teetering on the delicate line between wanting to show that it won't back down and taking things too far against Florida.
