The Toronto Maple Leafs are a professional ice hockey team based in Toronto. 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 2003–04 NHL season was the 87th regular season of the National Hockey League. The Stanley Cup champions were the Tampa Bay Lightning, who won the best of seven series four games to three against the Calgary Flames.
The Battle of Ontario is a National Hockey League (NHL) rivalry between the Ottawa Senators and the Toronto Maple Leafs. Both teams compete in the Atlantic Division and with current NHL scheduling, they meet three to four times per season. Games between the teams are often televised nationally on Hockey Night in Canada. The rivalry has been described as one of the NHL's top rivalries.
The 2003 Stanley Cup playoffs, the playoff tournament of the National Hockey League (NHL), began on April 9, 2003, following the 2002–03 regular season. The playoffs concluded on June 9, 2003, with the New Jersey Devils defeating the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim in seven games.
The 1993–94 Toronto Maple Leafs season was the 77th season of play for the Maple Leafs in the National Hockey League (NHL). It saw the Leafs finish in second place in the Central Division with a record of 43 wins, 29 losses and 12 ties for 98 points. The team opened the regular season with ten consecutive wins and reached the Conference Finals for the second straight year. They defeated the Chicago Blackhawks in six games in the Conference Quarterfinals, then eliminated the San Jose Sharks in a seven-game Conference Semifinal series. However, they lost the Western Conference Finals in five games to the Vancouver Canucks.
The 1994–95 Toronto Maple Leafs season was Toronto's 78th season in the National Hockey League (NHL).
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. They lost to the Red Wings in six games in the Division Semi-finals, including an embarrassing 8–0 defeat in Game 4.
The Bruins–Canadiens rivalry is a National Hockey League (NHL) rivalry between the Boston Bruins and Montreal Canadiens. It is considered "one of the greatest rivalries in sports." Retired Bruins forward Bob Sweeney, who played for the Bruins between 1986–87 and 1991–92, once called it among the "top three rivalries in all of sports,... right up there with the... New York Yankees–Boston Red Sox." The two teams have played each other more times, in both regular season play and the Stanley Cup playoffs combined, than any other two teams in NHL history.
In 1921-22 the League decided that if a game remained tied after 20 minutes of extra time, it would end a tie.
