Bad news: the other will drag on until at least next year. The gory details: The Leafs' playoff curse continues. As you've surely heard many times, Toronto has not won a Stanley Cup in 56 years or even a playoff series in 19 years.

Another fact: since their Game 7 victory over Ottawa in the first round in 2004, the Leafs have had 11 chances to close out a series.

They're now 0-for-11 in those games after losing another potential series clincher against the Tampa Bay Lightning last night.
