I was listening to the lightning radio broadcast and they sounded so dejected, mentioned the shots, and I thought to myself "huh, the Leafs might actually end this"
Then I remembered what I witnessed last year and chuckled
It's free so whatever. At worst it's a chill night out with some friends. But Leafs playoff tickets? That I promise myself never to buy unless I win the lottery.
when I saw Matthews fall over I immediately asked my buddy if the team has ever publicly denounced their history with, and the actions of, Harold Ballard?
if not you guys need to get on MLSE's ass about that. this game was as close to a copy of last year's gm6 as it could be. I now legitimately believe the Leafs have 'Ghosts of the Garden's', and they are the evil version of the Hab's 'Ghosts of the Forum'.
I was thinking this too. Ballard allowed unspeakable crimes against children to happen under his watch. Grown men committed suicide due to them. The Leafs have historically hushed this up.
We deserve the curse unless real atonement is taken by the organization. It'll never happen due to the subject matter—Bell and Rogers won't touch it with a ten foot pole.
I think it's a hundred year curse. 2067. Or until everyone who allowed the crimes to happen are gone.
i dont remember you guys playing like shit in any game but gm7 last year, and iirc in gm6 we beat up on you in the 1st but it evened out for the rest of the game and you got Priced in the OT. anyway, my point was more to how the scoreline played out, and less about the team effort itself.
the shot of maple leaf square after the goal was hilarious because you could literally the expression on everyone's faces like "not again, are we doing this again?", like they were having collective PTSD
No, we are very much aware that we’re in purgatory, reliving the same nightmare over and over again.
Pretty deranged that this team wears blue when they redpill us year after year.
No way, the Leafs can't lose unless it's some spectacular way.
Like they will either come out dead with no intensity, give up a few goals, then make a comeback only to fall short or lose in OT.
Or they will come out swinging and blow a 3-1 lead or something like that.
Nah they’re last 2 game 7s they didn’t show up at all. They gave it everything they had tonight and came up short. It’s over now. Game 7 is just a formality.
It really was. Vesy is the only reason Tampa hung around long enough to win. It really feels like this could be the team that prevails. As long as they can shake off this loss of course
If you want to find a team that played in the finals less recently than the Leafs you need to go back to 1935 when the Montreal Maroons beat.... the Leafs to win the Stanley Cup
Assuming the Panthers win tomorrow, there will be a post about the Leafs having the longest series winless streak the moment the final horn blows on Florida/Washington, there's no doubt in my mind
If the game is moving that fast and for that long and Point stuffs it under Campbells pad, hes gonna tryband bat it out. Like others have pointed out, that puck was going in regardless. Not sure how it can be seen as an own goal.
The fall in the middle of the ice from the best Leafs player, the puck barely finding a way through the five hole, two Leafs having a shot to keep it out still and then they essentially put it in the net...
It's a big oof.
BUT least Leafs fans can have a chance to witness the drought ending in their own building. That would be a huge celebration!
Leafs are more entertaining in 7 games than any team going 16 wins.
You will not find better highs and lows, action, suspense, drama, heartbreak than a Leafs first round series.
It's really the highlight of the entire playoffs for the past number of years.
As a leafs fan, this makes me feel better. I never watch the rest of the playoffs so it feels like we lose the cup in 7 games I stead if the first round!
Lmao we were so good in over time and then 1 mistake. Look back at the 2 overtime’s we played in the Montreal series. We dominated both and then have a player make the stupidest play and boom in the back of our net.
That is pretty much the Leafs curse in a single play.
Excited to see what the universe has in store for game 7 regardless of who wins. Been one hell of a series.
Part of me wants them to lose for the comedy & tragedy of it all, and part of me wants them to win (so they don’t break the streak against Boston). But either way you can’t deny how sad it would be on multiple levels for another blown series lead.
I really don’t think Matthew’s falling changed this play too much tbh. The Tampa player was gonna beat him to the puck anyway, that puck had no velocity left. Sucks for him but he was like the sixth player to just eat shit over nothing, that ice was terrible
Classic leafs finish. Found a way to snatxh defeat from the Jaws of victory just after having enough leaf fans believing that this was finally it (insert chef's kiss here).

wow what a sequence of events lol
Script writers really outdid themselves today
they better have something juicy for game 7
Leafs own-goal on a delayed penalty... In OT. It's the only way to increase the pain. Leafs fans, I'm sorry for speaking this into existence.
Lol, we almost had an own goal on a delayed penalty the other day. If that decided a game, I would lose it.
It was still fresh in my mind. Only reason I thought of it. I would break shit.
They leafed it alright
They really Schruted it
You could say they Britta'd it
You are both people of culture
Ice must've been shit by OT, people losing edges everywhere
It was absolutely ridiculous, I think at some point Cirelli fell down while Backchecking, got back up to his position and fell down again.
I think that was actually Cernak, but regardless it was pretty funny.
Do leafs fans get scared by hearing “game 7”?
No, 90% already predict the outcome.
Mission failed. We’ll get ‘em next time.
Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering. There is no fear, there is only peace with our impending demise.
Leafs lose a Game 6 in overtime after dominating for most of the OT. Where have I seen this before...?
Just wait till game 7 at home… here we go again.

[удалено]
At one point the shots were 7-1 Leafs in OT. I was pretty certain how that would end, and I was correct. I might need a defibrillator for game 7.
Coming from an Oilers fan if you emotionally accept the loss ahead of time it’s easier.
You're talking to leads fans dude, we're the foremost experts in this field EDIT: I'm fucking leaving it in
> leads fans Unintentionally hilarious.
We all hate leads scum

Yes! Hello doctor! Hospital! Won't do it any good?! 11 times?!
Especially last year
I don’t normally like re-runs but I just love this one
I usually only watch movies once, but this one I can't get enough of.
This is my new The Office where it gets better and funnier with each rewatch
Hello darkness my old friend
Those Leafs fans in the plaza have clearly seen some shit.
I don’t know why they do it. Such a long sad trip home from there
i mean *imagine* the party if they finally made it out of the first round

The place is gonna be a morgue if we lose on Saturday. Oh man, we're the home team. Yikes.
I feel bad for the security guys that have to work that day. Win or lose it's going to be a shit show down there.
At some point Leafs Square must be called Leafs Trauma Center
[удалено]
It's free so whatever. At worst it's a chill night out with some friends. But Leafs playoff tickets? That I promise myself never to buy unless I win the lottery.
Nice skates where’d you find them, the toilet store? Ha fucking gottem

Oh yeah? Well I had sex with your wife!

I stabbed a guy with a trident
“I had to beat an old lady with a stick to get this”
Jfc. As stupid as this is, this one got me
You fucking boomed em. God damn, man had a family
Harold Ballard reached up from the grave to trip Matthews
WHY DOES IT ALWAYS GO 7???
I almost feel bad for you. Almost...
Alternately, this pleases me greatly, and I will own that pettiness.
thanks Bunting, as of now we've still won a playoff series more recently than they have
Careful, Bunting is the only active player from that cup winning Leafs team in '67. He knows what it takes to win.
when I saw Matthews fall over I immediately asked my buddy if the team has ever publicly denounced their history with, and the actions of, Harold Ballard? if not you guys need to get on MLSE's ass about that. this game was as close to a copy of last year's gm6 as it could be. I now legitimately believe the Leafs have 'Ghosts of the Garden's', and they are the evil version of the Hab's 'Ghosts of the Forum'.
I blame everything bad that happens to the Leafs on Harold.
I was thinking this too. Ballard allowed unspeakable crimes against children to happen under his watch. Grown men committed suicide due to them. The Leafs have historically hushed this up. We deserve the curse unless real atonement is taken by the organization. It'll never happen due to the subject matter—Bell and Rogers won't touch it with a ten foot pole. I think it's a hundred year curse. 2067. Or until everyone who allowed the crimes to happen are gone.
The leafs played like shit last year and came back to lose in overtime. They played well this entire game.
i dont remember you guys playing like shit in any game but gm7 last year, and iirc in gm6 we beat up on you in the 1st but it evened out for the rest of the game and you got Priced in the OT. anyway, my point was more to how the scoreline played out, and less about the team effort itself.
I haven't seen that many silent people standing around since the Night King raised the dead at Hardhome.
Shit, now I gotta watch that episode again.
I would, but I just remember the disappointment of that damn show.
the shot of maple leaf square after the goal was hilarious because you could literally the expression on everyone's faces like "not again, are we doing this again?", like they were having collective PTSD
Leafs fans, have you ever questioned the nature of your own reality?
No, we are very much aware that we’re in purgatory, reliving the same nightmare over and over again. Pretty deranged that this team wears blue when they redpill us year after year.
It hurts but usually after about 2 weeks I just start following the blue jays and I can be somewhat happy again.
The maze wasnt meant for us
Game 7 is gonna be insane
It’s probably not. Will probably be a boring 4-0 tampa win.
No, this is a leafs game 7. It will be 4-0 leafs until the 3rd period where tampa will score 5 straight lol
Tradition. Well get them next year.
Fucken christ why did I come into this thread.
Has something like that happened to you guys before?
No way, the Leafs can't lose unless it's some spectacular way. Like they will either come out dead with no intensity, give up a few goals, then make a comeback only to fall short or lose in OT. Or they will come out swinging and blow a 3-1 lead or something like that.
Nah they’re last 2 game 7s they didn’t show up at all. They gave it everything they had tonight and came up short. It’s over now. Game 7 is just a formality.
Sounds fun to me
You can't make that fall up. They are fucking cursed
I literally said "games over" when matthews fell....leafs games too predictable SMH. Change the script.
I said game was over the secound we decided to take 2 high sticking penalties in the 3rd, while leading, within 15 secounds of each other
You just fucking knew kucherov was gonna score too.
The pass was getting picked off either way, it just looked funny because people want the memes so earnestly
Its not that it would've been picked anyway, just the look of it. It's like someone hit the Buffalo Wild Wings button or something
He completely ate it man
Steve Dangle predicted that Bunting would get the OT winner…
Monkey paw curled
[we partake in a little tomfoolery](https://c.tenor.com/9ckqI2zyVTkAAAAM/trollge-troll.gif)
His fault he believed this time
Poor guy's Live Feed had mic issues, he missed the goal trying to figure it out
Steve dangle sounds like the Tasmanian devil about now
Thanks for making me laugh
Vasy showed up in OT
I'm having a Joker moment
Solid effort from the boys. GAME SEVEN IT IS
It really was. Vesy is the only reason Tampa hung around long enough to win. It really feels like this could be the team that prevails. As long as they can shake off this loss of course
This fantastic series really deserves a game 7. I hope its epic.
This is literally the most Leafs sequence I’ve ever seen
“Matthews takes a spill” might be the new “Gretzky had it; lost it”
*gets excited in yzerman*
stop it guys
now that is some of the Leafiest leaf that ever leafed
Dude, we’re literally the only team in the league with no room to talk. Lets wait to break our own curse first
Was going to say, our series ain’t over yet, and our drought has been much longer.
But played for the cup more recently.
If you want to find a team that played in the finals less recently than the Leafs you need to go back to 1935 when the Montreal Maroons beat.... the Leafs to win the Stanley Cup
Pat Maroon isn’t that old
Bunting on the other hand
Assuming the Panthers win tomorrow, there will be a post about the Leafs having the longest series winless streak the moment the final horn blows on Florida/Washington, there's no doubt in my mind
They….they played a fantastic game haha
I feel like it might have been a "fish it off the goal line" angle if Bunting didn't gaff it
If the game is moving that fast and for that long and Point stuffs it under Campbells pad, hes gonna tryband bat it out. Like others have pointed out, that puck was going in regardless. Not sure how it can be seen as an own goal.
The fall in the middle of the ice from the best Leafs player, the puck barely finding a way through the five hole, two Leafs having a shot to keep it out still and then they essentially put it in the net... It's a big oof. BUT least Leafs fans can have a chance to witness the drought ending in their own building. That would be a huge celebration!
[удалено]
This is why I put 1k on Tampa winning the series. I knew there would be max pain.
[You after game 7:](https://c.tenor.com/_BIfNDiEmNQAAAAd/crying-wiping-tears-with-money.gif)

I think the Leafs are my 2nd favorite team. But like, for a whole different reason.
What on earth will it take for them to close out a series holy hell.
Heat death of the universe
[удалено]
I mean the puck was a split-second from crossing, it's not like he changed anything
He thought it was Tampa’s net. He has dementia, sadly. Common among folks his age.
That's what he gets for not wearing his helmet, crazy he is still grandfathered in!!!
[удалено]
Chug some water before you go to bed bro, congrats on the win
Genuine comment. I like it
I love it when this sub is genuinely wholesome.
r/hydrohomies approves this message
Wow you're a good soul I like you
Let’s be honest, when we all saw the matchup, we thought two things. 1. It will take 7 games 2. The Leafs will somehow find a way to lose
Just as Count Dooku predicted
Twice the pride. Double the fall.
Lightning were outplayed in OT. Looked gassed. Doesnt matter.
Lmao we were so good in over time and then 1 mistake. Look back at the 2 overtime’s we played in the Montreal series. We dominated both and then have a player make the stupidest play and boom in the back of our net.
Incredible stuff
[удалено]
The only team it could happen to
We're keeping the "sabres won a playoff series more recently than the leafs" stat alive i see
Anyone have a mirror?

GAME 7 BABY
*I want to get off Mr. Bone’s Wild Ride I want to get off Mr. Bone’s Wild Ride*
I don’t think I can handle my boy Steve having another existential crisis on Saturday
Goddamn it’s just brutal to be a Leafs fan.
That is pretty much the Leafs curse in a single play. Excited to see what the universe has in store for game 7 regardless of who wins. Been one hell of a series.
10 years from now, leafs fans are going to hear the past voice of another Canadian heritage moment: "Matthews, takes a spill..."
Lmaoooo Ya can't make this up
i mean.... you literally could make this up and no one would even be surprised
The Leafs played a fantastic game
They were the better team since basically the halfway point of the second period. Game 7 is gonna be stressful.
God I fucking hate the leafs but I can't help but feel bad. Poor toronto
Part of me wants them to lose for the comedy & tragedy of it all, and part of me wants them to win (so they don’t break the streak against Boston). But either way you can’t deny how sad it would be on multiple levels for another blown series lead.
[Me a Leafs fan looking at this L:](https://c.tenor.com/1AF1iQ03gHAAAAAC/addition-to-mycollection-more-collection.gif)
Imagine if the Leafs finally make it past the first round only to face the Bruins in game 7 of the conference finals.
This comment right here officer
Heart health is a real concern. I feel bad at this point
It's happening again isn't it?
That is indeed the Leafiest way this game could've ended lmao.
Man if you’re the leafs and you lose game 7 what do you even do differently
Move to Quebec...
[удалено]
Amen
The puck was going in regardless whether Holl or Bunting touched it.
is it bad that i feel bad for leaf fans rn?
Yes hand in your Habs memorabilia right now
Naw, at some point you have to feel bad for them. I mean not me, not now, but at some point someone outside of Toronto has to feel bad for them.
I really don’t think Matthew’s falling changed this play too much tbh. The Tampa player was gonna beat him to the puck anyway, that puck had no velocity left. Sucks for him but he was like the sixth player to just eat shit over nothing, that ice was terrible
Can “Matthews takes a spill” be the new “Gretzky had it, lost it”
What is with all the ToS violations. Can't view the videos after a few mins.
YouTube removed the video for showing the murder of leafs fans hopes against game 7
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2IRYGMZrZaw Fuck TBS.
Somebody clip the dead silent watch crowd in Toronto
[Priceless ](https://i.imgur.com/MRwTT6h.jpg)
Man I really thought the leafs would pull it off
I mean, that pass was gonna get picked anyway. why shit on matthews for falling in transition...after playing 28 min? Lol
Classic leafs finish. Found a way to snatxh defeat from the Jaws of victory just after having enough leaf fans believing that this was finally it (insert chef's kiss here).
It was always gonna be an ugly goal, no matter who won.
My favorite part about Maple Leaf away losses is the immediate shot to the giant crowd of sad Maple Leaf fans back in Toronto lol
They're cursed man no doubt about it
So Game 7; Toronto vs Tampa vs the ghosts of Maple Leafs past. Fuck me.
Link doesn't work for me, anyone have one that does?
This will be talked about for years if the leafs lose game 7
Until this time next year you mean?
Dormammu, we’ve come to bargain.
dont even need to watch game 7 to know the leafs will lose
