Toronto Maple Leafs break playoff drought with series win, but face more challenges ahead.
TL;DR Summary
Toronto Maple Leafs' radio announcer Joe Bowen mistakenly credited Morgan Rielly with the game-winning goal in Game 6 against the Tampa Bay Lightning, when it was actually John Tavares who scored. Bowen attributed the error to calling the game remotely due to cost-cutting measures, which has been the norm for most broadcasters since the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite the mistake, Bowen's passionate call of the historic moment was still celebrated by fans.
