The Toronto Maple Leafs failed to close out a playoff series for the 13th time in 14th attempts, losing Game 5 at home to the Ottawa Senators in a 4-0 shutout. With pressure mounting after blowing a 3-0 series lead, head coach Craig Berube made it clear on Wednesday that blame shouldn’t rest solely on the Leafs' "Core Four."

The earlier the Leafs can close out this series, the better, but they won't if they repeat Game 4's performance.
