It's no secret that the Toronto Maple Leafs are currently mired in a lengthy postseason victory drought that hasn't seen them advance past the 1st round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs since prior to the invention of YouTube. To be exact, it was 19 years ago that Toronto last celebrated a series win, a 4-1 triumph over the Ottawa Senators at the then-named Air Canada Center.
It was veteran forward Joe Nieuwendyk who electrified the crowd with two 1st period goals against an extremely leaky Patrick Lalime en route to a series win and a date in Round 2 with the Philadelphia Flyers.
Take a look back the game itself and the subsequent celebrations that followed:
Tonight, the Maple Leafs have the chance to advance to Round 2 for the first time since that night, and Toronto is ready to party like it's 2004 again. Will they get the chance to?
