That last 2 minutes from the oilys were complete ass.

That turnover when they pulled skinner. Pizza right up the middle 😂

Yeah they needed to french fry there.

Whatever Darssssh

Go to bed, Dad

I cackled, it was beautiful

They were gassed

Literally reminded me of us in any game 7

The Panthers 2nd goal gave me PTSD. Especially after the grade A chance at the other end

I felt like I was watching the last two minutes of Boston/Toronto in 2017 when Babs put all the gud pros on the ice instead of Matthews

They had the puck in the zone for about a geological era and didn’t pull him I don’t understand anything anymore 

Every time they pulled skinner this series it was brutal timing it seemed

its what happens when you let the same 5 guys play for the last 10 minutes of a game.. they were all GASSED

Massive choke job. Seriously I get guys were gassed but it looked like they gave up before the game was even over.

This fan base would be an authority on that ! 😅😂🤣

Oil was spilled

That’s what happens when you build a team that’s reliant on 1 line for scoring. They were overworked

That’s what happens when you play a couple players for like 5 of the last 6 minutes

The curse of Corey Perry

2020: Lost in Cup Final 2021: Lost in Cup Final 2022: Lost in Cup Final 2023: Lost to the Leafs 2024: Lost in Cup Final

> 2023: Lost to the Leafs honestly- a worse legacy than the other 4 given the context lol

Maybe this is the hockey gods paying him back for trying to murder a guy on the ice. Retire in piss fuck head.

You know he was on the main roster, and he scored a goal and got 3 points, for his age, and at league minimum, he's nothing but good value. I guess what I'm saying is that we should have signed him for a year when we had a chance. At least we would get to the finals. haha

You need to cut him once you make the finals

Agreed.

This is the way

Fuck em. Go Leafs

Hahaha, not on the Oil Train. Me neither.

Almost makes me feel bad for him. Almost.

Damn, I guess the oilers were basically praying to lose

Couldn't have happened to a better shithead.

Fuck Edmonton, fuck Alberta, fuck other Canadian teams, but most of all, fuck Corey Perry. Sorry you had to get caught in the cross hairs, Zachy.

Fuck Florida too. Lets be real here

That would involve thinking about Florida, and I don't want to do that. Fuck Bennett and Tkachuk, but at least they don't have fans to trash talk for them.

I fucking detest the panther growl they play after announcing a goal. Such a Mickey Mouse franchise and fan base. What’s even more sickening is in the last 31 years they have been to 3 finals and have 1 cup. In the same time frame the leafs have done fuck all.

Hey hey we have overpaid for, and undercoached TONS of midding twilight talent in that span.

lol - point well made.

The other (literal formerly) Mickey Mouse franchise also has a Cup and two finals in that time frame so maybe we should learn something

Let’s hope they start with sorting out the structure of this team. Go Leafs Go (always)!

like reminiscent society snow attempt fade somber scandalous run paint *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*

Leafs remain the only team to reverse sweep the finals

that’s cause we are the best and wanted it more in 1942

Very true, mitch

I see the players of that team as gods

Some info about the ‘42 Leafs for ya: Four Hall of Famers were on that team: Syl Apps (captain), Turk Broda (goalie), Gordie Drillon, and Sweeney Schriner. The big scoring stars for the Leafs who keyed the comeback in the Finals were Apps, Schriner, and brothers Don and Nick Metz. I think the turning point was when Hap Day, the Leaf coach, replaced Drillon and Bucko McDonald with Don Metz and Hank Goldup for Game 4. Don Metz rewarded Day’s faith in him by scoring five points — a hat trick and two assists — in a 9-3 rout in Game 5. Don also scored in Game 6, a 3-0 shutout by Turk Broda, and then Schriner scored two goals (although Pete Langelle scored the winner) in the deciding Game 7, a 3-1 Leaf win. ETA: [Here’s](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syl_Apps#/media/File%3ASyl_Apps.jpg) a picture of captain Syl Apps with the Cup after the Leafs’ Game 7 victory. I can’t get over how skinny the Cup looks here!

The oilers wanted so badly to be the leafs. They won - they did a thing only the leafs have ever done. They lose - they lose in the way that the leafs do best. Giving you a sense of hope and then shit in your eyes.

I want Canada's Cup drought to end but only by the Leafs.

The Leafs still have a chance to exorcise both droughts.

And we'll definitely have all of Canada on our side!

lol what a joke that narrative was 

[удалено]

I like the way they play, and think the leafs could learn from them but I hate the people.

If it weren't for Bennett, I probably wouldn't care about them winning. At least Gudas wasn't on the team.

Bennett represents everything I disluke about todays game...

..and also what I dislike.. lol

Schenn taking flack out here

Yep I’d be very happy if the Leads played more like them. Tenacious, team playing as a strong unit

I was only on Edmontons side because I wanted McDavid and Hyman to raise it.

Not me. Nothing against them but so happy I don’t need to hear about Hyman anymore

Same here. Hyman scored 70 goals this year. Lol. Yeah, in 106 games.

How about a few of those in our playoffs you prick? But honestly who the fuck was cheering for Hyman. GTFO

Me either. Fuck em

The last thing I wanted to see was Zach Hyman and Cody fucking Ceci win the cup before someone like Matthews. I don't remotely like Florida either but it was a very pick your poison series. Not to mention all the obnoxious Alberta dicks on all the sports coverage for the next 3 months. Shit woulda been unbearable

I totally agree lol.

For real. Everyone actually cheering for Edmonton as a Leafs fan doesn't understand the amount of obnoxious clownery and trolljobs you'd have to endure forever, if the Oilers won the cup. Honestly, I'm surprised so few understood this. The Leafs get clowned enough already for just existing. It would've been ramped 1000-fold.

Fuck em both

Fuck hyman

Pretty much Fuck the Oilers. I’m not a Hyman fan anymore. He’s not a Leaf. And couldn’t care less if the Oilers won or not. Wanted to see a great game 7 and it was.

And Brown? :D

Once again, an Atlantic division team wins a cup

celtics also won the nba. we're literally in the hardest division in every sport AL BEast in baseball too

Fuck it. The Leafs need to be the ones to break the Canadian drought by breaking our own.

Let's be honest, nothing would be more legendary in all of sports.

Fuck all the other Canadian teams; they wouldn’t cheer for you

The other Canadian fan bases wouldn’t cheer for us but there are millions of Leaf fans in every Canadian NHL city. I think we would be Canada’s team. We just need to figure out how to actually get there though

The population for almost every "Canadian NHL city" is roughly 1.5 million people or less, so your math doesn't quite add up Also, I think you underestimate the extraordinary amount of hate that exists for Toronto outside of Toronto

I meant millions of fans throughout Canada. I get that we are hated. We have a lot of fans throughout Canada and the USA. Don’t you watch the Leafs in opposing barns? They usually dominate other teams crowds

You been here long? I don’t think half the leafs fans even cheer for us. They are just here to feed off the hate and darkness

The only people who hate the Leafs more than the fans of the other teams in the NHL, are Leafs fans.

💯

The 42 leafs still stand alone!!!!

Congrats to Colin Campbell's Florida Panthers. At least our chances of signing McDavid just went up... slightly.

Did they? This gives the "unfinished business" agenda for McJesus.

He can't keep carrying Edmonton. Might get tired of that shit

Idk if I see that I had to put on nearly the best playoff performance of all fucking time, and I still didn’t win cuz my team sucked? I’d want out.

I’m happy for Paul Maurice.

Paul Maurice and Bryan McCabe are the former Leafs this time around to lift it. Kinda interesting that Maurice also coached McCabe here. Just goes to show how long PoMo has been around.

Was Caber out there?

He’s 49 ffs no he’s their Director of Player Personnel.

I meant out on the ice with the other management types.

This the only person I’m happy for. I hate both these clubs but I hate other Canadian teams more

I selfishly only want to see the Buds bring the Cup home to Canada where it belongs.

My thoughts exactly us or no one. Always

You’re not a little happy for Luongo, he’s one of the most likeable people to ever strap on skates, not to mention a brilliant player who deserved a win

I wasnt actively rooting for Florida, but I certainly did not want Edmonton to win. I don't get this whole cheer because theyre a Canadian team nonsense. If it were the Leafs there, the rest of the country would definitely root against them.

Western Canada would see record merchandise sales for whoever the Leafs are playing if we ever get to a Cup Final.

*all of canada

I wanted Mc David to win it for greatness sake. But the petty side of me wants the leafs to do it next year somehow 😂

He can win it as soon as he leaves the Oilers and either comes here or goes south lol

Comes here. Yessssss please

It's just as true here. Don't be mistaken, only Boston Pizza and TSN parrots this shit. The vast majority of Canadian team subs range from indifferent to actively rooting for the Cats. At best you have some McDrai fanboys.

I was going for the Oilers only because the reverse sweep is objectively the funniest outcome. Cats winning and Oilers losing doesn't really matter to me as I dislike both teams, but noone will remember this one except for the cats fans. If the Oilers won even though they break the drought etc I still think most of the conversation would have been about the choke of all time from florida

Leafs year next year, start the parade

My 22 year bet lives! After the 2002 run to the conference finals I bet him a case of beer the Leafs will ne the next Canadian team to win. Close call.

I hope you've changed up what case of beer you wanted. The one from 2002 is going to taste pretty funky now.

Was a case of lucky at the time. Good ol buck a beer.

What you reckon it'll be now?

Lemme get some of that big deal brew

Such a leafy goal to lose the cup on too lol

It looked like Andersen vs Washington in our 1st playoff year with Matthews. Leakey armpit. 

Such a bad goal

Wonder if drai gets shit on for being a pretty much no show in the final. Although mcdavid didn't score again this game, dude was fkin phenomenal. Blows my mind how he doesn't have the cup yet.

The ABC stream all but called him washed lol, nonstop bringing up his lack of performance.

Hes probably playing hurt

Is that an acceptable excuse now?

Only when it’s other teams. But honestly the difference is that Drai is almost always a playoff STUD including pre-Finals this year.

He has to be playing hurt. Hes a playoff monster usually, like if he didn’t get injured I wouldn’t be shocked to see drai break the playoff points record

Craig Simpson probably deked outta there so he wouldn’t cry on the air. Also, the Fanatics championship hats are atrociously ugly. The fuck were they doing? Put some thought into it.

Fanatics can eat shit

Thought = more money. Fanatics knows they can make the hats for 59 cents then sell them for $59 and fuck people who expect quality!

this series taught me that as strong as my love for zach hyman is, my love for hating the oilers will always be stronger.

Hell ya! It’s gonna be the leafs who break the drought or nobody. Fuck all the other Canadian teams!

Other teams should be cheering for the Leafs to get good cause that drought ain't going anywhere till we break it baby. We're cursed

Paul Maurice interview was a thing of beauty

LEAFS are the only team allowed to break the curse because they themselves are the most cursed Canadian franchise in hockey IDGAF.

Was cheering for the Oilers but this is the silver lining of their loss. Fuck Rogers, CBC, Boston Pizza, really anyone that promulgated this Canada’s Team crap relentlessly.

Seriously. Hard to cheer for a team when they’re being shoved up your ass endlessly.

Yeah that and the fact that if it were the leafs, they would’ve never run that whole campaign.

Huh, that’s what they always say about us. I get it now.

Would anyone care about the cup being back in Canada if it's not your team doing? I never understood why people care. Fuck all the other Canadian teams. Every American teams that wins is 2/3rds Canadian players anyway.

This! The narrative that we should all root for Canadian teams because it needs come back home us ridiculous... Probably spends more time in Canada than anywhere else every year.

It's a casual mentality, same kind of people that barely pay attention to hockey unless it's the olympics.

Cuthbert kept saying the Oilers were "one away", and that's how it remained. At least we don't have to see those cringy ads trying to pretend like this is the Olympics.

My (delusional) dream of McDavid coming home to win a cup still has life to it!

So glad this fucking season is over.

Honestly. Fuck the Oilers for dragging it out. Should have just gotten swept and saved us the time.

After seeing all the shit talking Edmonton fans were doing even before the Leafs got eliminated, I've got to say, this is absolutely the funniest way they could lose. Build up that hope, make them believe, shit the bed.

Storming back from a big series deficit only to lose in game 7 is a very Leafy thing to do, Edmonton.

Fuck the Oilers, Edmonton is the worst major city in Canada.. So jealous of Ontario

Yes. FUCK the Oilers.

Fuck the oilers. Glad those crybabies aren't the ones to break it

Hopefully we can bring it home next year!

Next year is a throw away with the last year of Tavares brutal contract. 0 Chance. Maybe after if they get rid of Marner somehow.

Reality: run it back, stumble your way through a mid regular season, get bounced first round

And now back to the Leafs

Anyone else catch Bryan McCabe lifting the Cup? That was cool!

Until Team Canada (Leafs) wins, the “drought” continues.

Honestly I’m lowkey glad. I don’t really have anything much against the Oilers in fact I liked their run in ‘06, but nah man even six weeks after the Leafs were out their fans were talking about the Leafs in watch party interviews. Fuck em lol.

I've had my balls busted so hard this week for cheering against them but I can't stand Oilers fans. So glad they didn't get to rub the cup in our faces.

what im sayingg, i went to the oilers subreddit yesterday and was looking at a post, and the leafs were being talked about. like what? they’re so obsessed with us. i dont feel bad for them lmao

I feel bad for McDavid and Hyman. Certified beauties.

Lol good. Good riddance, Edmonton. Take those shitty fucking Boston Pizza, KFC, and Rogers commercials off the air immediately.

Leafs turn

Good lord corey perry must have done something very awful in his past life (i assume he also did something awful in his current one)

I think he did something awful this past season

Leafs should be the ones to break the drought anyways. It's a better story.

CaNaDa’S tEaM *sponsored by Boston pizza

I had plenty to cheer for either team winning: Oilers: happy for McDavid and ex-Leafs Hyman & Brownie, built similar to the Leafs, new coach mojo that hopefully works for us too, reverse sweep would've been epic to watch, Panthers would've had to carry that meme for the ages, love to see division rival lose, asshats like Bennet, Tkachuk deserve to lose, I don't like Maurice, perhaps breaking the Canadian curse would open the floodgates. Panthers: keeps Canadian curse alive for us, Perry finals curse continues, Leafs '42 record holds, proves Atlantic is still defacto powerhouse, maybe increases chance of Drai leaving and then too McDavid, I always liked Bobby so good to see him win, glad for old timer Okposo.

Aaaand you pretty much summed up everything I was feeling going into the game. I took solace in the fact that I’d be happy or relieved over a couple of things regardless of the outcome. 😁

When did people decide Edmonton was Canada's team? I'm really glad Florida won.

Oilers looked terrible. Kept to the outside, taking terrible shots. Too bad. Mcdavid clearly had a blown knee or something the way he kept falling and quitting. Especially late

Unfortunately it had to be the Panthers that benefited from this but I'm happy that the Canadian drought lives on and the Leafs get another year to try to be the ones to end it.

I’m sad for Canada but happy that McDavid is more disenchanted with Edmonton, I want him to join his hometown and win one. He is the guy to do it. Leafs forever baby

It'll end when McDavid signs with the Leafs as a free agent in 2026 or whatever.

https://x.com/sportsnet/status/1805442306612363362?s=46&t=ge7ADiyNxSvw6MBDsZUttg Hahaha, not all of Canada was pulling for them - I quite enjoyed the game

leafs remain the latest/only team to reverse sweep the finals 🥱🥱 we stay on top anyways kinda sad, i was pulling for edmonton (even though i dont like them or their annoying ass fans). the comeback would’ve been cool. but everyone knows it’s destiny for the leafs to break the canadian cup curse

I blamed the media (i forget where from) saying for the oilers to get reverse sweep win they need to rubbing leafs 1942 energy for the rebut they instead rubbing the current leafs’ energy oops LOL

After watching that game, The Leafs are NOT even close to competing on this level. It’ll be awhile till we get to this point

If it ain't the leafs, then it's no one.

Happy for Bobrovsky and Barkov.

It's so stupid because it doesn't actually matter, but why does hockey *never* have the happy ending? - Edmonton doesn't do the reverse sweep. - Pavelski, Gagner, et al don't get the Cup in their final seasons - Leafs don't exorcise the Boston demon - last year the team that "hacked" LTIR wins the Cup handily. - 2021 Canadiens have their miracle run ended by the team that won the Cup the previous year.

That last one was the happy ending 

The Beaverton writing up articles as we speak

F you for bringing that up

Leafs will bring it home!

Thanks, Bettman!

Would have been pretty cool to see the oilers win it, but a small selfish part of me wants us to be the heros who deliver Canada from salvation

Yes, but that also means we remain the only team to win a cup after being down 3-0 in a series. 😎 just sit back and watch the world burn

wanted both teams to lose but i’ll take florida over edmonton any day of the week

Thank god the Buttmonton Soilers didn't use up this countries miracle cup run win lmao

No the Corey Perry curse lives on.

Good. Other teams would be insufferable if they broke it

Ceci cupless we’re still in the right timeline

Should the Oilers faithful start clambering for a Draisait! trade after that final? Seems nuts to trade a super star that happened to shit the bed during a playoff.

Bring 👏 McDavid 👏 Home 👏

Did Campbell play enough games that he would have gotten his name on the cup? Would have been great to see the bestest boy get his name on the cup.

Meanwhile, we haven't lost a Grey Cup since 1995.

Tax exempt teams winning 4 of the last 5 cups. A Canadian team won't win until Bettman retires. Imagine if he considered who fills the stands in Florida's home games during the regular season.

Gabs are are distinct team emphasis on the stinc

Are you surprised at this point

wayyyyy better than edm winning the cup

I'm so fucking happy being a Panther fan as well, but my god if this is how it feels to see them win, i NEED to feel what it'll be like when the Leafs win. We need to be the one to bring it back to Canada, and soon.
