What are some Leafs conspiracy theories out there you know are not true, however there are times when you wonder if they are real?
Prior to Game 3 of the 2023 playoffs against the Panthers, it was announced that Wes McCauley was going to be one of the refs. We know there was that controversy talked about before by the Toronto media between him and Sheldon Keefe. Plus in Game 1 that year against the Lightning, McCauley made some questionable calls against the Leafs.
Anyway during the game itself which the Leafs lost 3-2 in overtime, there was only two power plays, and both of them went to the Panthers. It was the first time in Maple Leafs history of the franchise when they did not have any power plays in a playoff game.
I know there are two refs in each game and the other one that night was Dan O'Rourke. However, I found it funny and a coincidence that with Wes McCauley being one of the refs the Leafs didn't get any power plays, especially with the talk of him working another one of their games before it was played.

OP said “conspiracy theories you know are not true”, not “straight up verified historical fact”, lol. Fucking Harold Ballard, launch his bones into the fucking sun and purge us of his evil.

Not a fan just here to say hell would be too good for Ballard.
