There’s something especially harsh about the 6-7 meme for the Toronto Maple Leafs<\/a>.<\/p>\n

After all, the last time the Leafs played in (and won) a Stanley Cup Final was 1967.<\/p>\n

It’s been a long road since then, and that includes a brutal 2025-26 season that finishes far outside the playoffs.<\/p>\n

And on Saturday night, the Leafs played in Los Angeles against the Kings and found that meme on the final scoreboard.<\/p>\n

It read Kings 7, Maple Leafs 6.<\/p>\n

Yep, 6-7 against the Maple Leafs.<\/p>\n

It’s clearly not a common score in the NHL.<\/p>\n

In fact, NHL Scorigami<\/a> shared that a 7-6 game happens just 0.3% of the time across the league’s history.<\/p>\n

It happened this time, though, and it’s the kind of loss that is particularly painful.<\/p>\n

Maple Leafs fans hoping for draft positioning might be glad that Toronto only got 1 point, not 2.<\/p>\n

But the players on the ice will feel this loss particularly harshly. Scoring six goals and still losing certainly stings.<\/p>\n
