Leafs and Lightning going to game 6 after Toronto blows chance to win playoff series Toronto LeafsForever Leafsin6
Toronto Maple Leafs fans were ready on Thursday to celebrate the playoff series victory that they’ve been waiting 19 years for, but they're going to have to wait at least two more days.
After back-to-back overtime losses on home ice pushed the Tampa Bay Lightning to the brink of elimination, the three-time defending Eastern Conference champions staved off elimination with a 4-2 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs in Game 5 at Scotiabank Arena, cutting the Maple Leafs' lead in the best-of-seven series to 3-2.
Despite a late goal from Auston Matthews to cut the score to 3-2, the Leafs weren’t able to pull off a miracle in the third period for the third straight game.
