The Toronto Maple Leafs lack of playoff success has become a running joke. It seems like they'll never make it out of the 1st round and other fan bases love to let them know. At least one NBA Analyst feels like this is the year the Maple Leafs finally break that curse

This week, NBA Legend, Charles Barkley made a bold prediction. Barkley, who is also a major hockey fan shared this with members of the panel.

Let me tell you something about Toronto: I'm guaranteeing the Maple Leafs are going to win a series this year. The Maple Leafs are going to win a series this year.
