Not to be dramatic, but the Toronto Maple Leafs might actually be cursed.
The Buds were blanked in another blown opportunity to close out a playoff series on Tuesday night, bringing the Battle of Ontario to a nail-biting 3-2 lead for the Leafs after what seemed like an unbreakable 3-0 series advantage.
Tuesday's loss proved just the latest chapter in what has become a saga of the Leafs' long-term struggles in close-out games.
Game 6 will bring the series back to Ottawa on Thursday, where the Leafs will have a third consecutive opportunity to close out the first round.
Should the Senators manage to stave off elimination once again, the Leafs will be in familiar territory with the series returning to Toronto for yet another Game 7.
