Who has rained on the Maple Leafs Stanley Cup parade?

I asked ChatGPT (a public AI platform) the following question:

What teams have the Toronto Maple Leafs lost to in the Stanley Cup finals? Here’s what it answered, verbatim:

The Toronto Maple Leafs have lost in the Stanley Cup finals a total of 13 times. They have lost to the following teams:

  • Montreal Canadiens (1918, 1924, 1944, 1946, 1947)
  • Detroit Red Wings (1936, 1937, 1943)
  • Boston Bruins (1939, 1941)
  • Chicago Black Hawks (1938)
  • Canadiens (1966)
  • Canadiens (1967)
  • Canadiens (1971)
  • Canadiens (1978)
  • Los Angeles Kings (1993)
  • Carolina Hurricanes (2002)

It's worth noting that the team has not won the Stanley Cup since 1967.

I love how it just threw that last bit in there. Too bad the answer it gave is utterly and completely wrong. They actually lost 8 times in the finals, to the Rangers in 1933, the Maroons in 1935, the Red Wings in 1936, the Blackhawks in 1938, the Bruins in 1939, the Rangers in 1940, and the Canadiens in 1959 and 1960.
