The Toronto Maple Leafs are a professional ice hockey team based in Toronto, Ontario. They are members of the Atlantic Division in the Eastern Conference of the National Hockey League (NHL) [1] and are known as one of the Original Six teams of the league. [2] Founded in 1917, the club had no nickname in their first season, and were known as the Toronto Arenas for their second season. [3] From the 1919–20 season they were known as the Toronto St. Patricks, [4] until in February 1927 when the club was purchased by Conn Smythe. [5] Smythe changed the name of the club to the Maple Leafs and they have been known by that name ever since. [5] [6] Over their 104 seasons, the Leafs have won 3000 regular season games, lost over 2800 regular season games, accumulated six division championships, led the league in points six times, appeared in the playoffs 71 times, gained eight O'Brien Cup championships, and won 13 Stanley Cup titles.

The 1987–88 Toronto Maple Leafs season saw the Maple Leafs finish in fourth place in the Norris Division with a record of 21 wins, 49 losses, and 10 ties for 52 points. Despite posting the second-worst record in the league, they qualified for the Stanley Cup playoffs on the last day of the season in part due to playing in an extremely weak Norris Division; the division champion Detroit Red Wings were the only team in the division with a winning record. Their .325 winning percentage is the third-worst in franchise history and one of the lowest ever for a playoff qualifier. For an NHL team, their .325 percentage is the worst mark to qualify for the playoffs for a team that played at least 70 games.
