Honorable Mention: Toronto Maple Leafs Blow a 5-1 Lead to Senators

It wouldn’t be a real Toronto Maple Leafs season without an embarrassing collapse at some point. This time, it came at the feet of the Ottawa Senators and a 5-1  lead.

Yes, the Leafs, “Leafed” again.

Just before the third period, the Senators had struck back to make the score 5-2, which still seemed like a pipedream for the young Senators, but not impossible.  The Senators would go on to score 5 unanswered goals including the game-winning goal in overtime.

Yes, it was embarrassing, but even with a terrible performance like that the Toronto Maple Leafs still remained atop the NHL standings, which us fans can be thankful.

We can also be happy that this collapse negates the chance of any collapse at any later point this season – or at least we can hope…
