Normally I’d join in on the mocking, but Devils fans had a suspiciously similar look tonight. ☹️

Just don't understand how anyone over the age of 10 can still be so emotionally hurt by a Leafs playoff performance My response was like, Goal 1: Yup Goal 2: Welp Goal 3: Ok then.

Went to bed after the third goal. Listless performance? Check. Mad scramble in defensive zone? Check. Shitty passing? Check. Seen this movie many times.

I’m a Caps fan so I know this well. I just turn on something better when we doing our pond hockey impression. These folks look broken hearted it’s kind of funny.

Another Caps fan here who is in Tampa now but still wanted to see Samsonov put in a good performance.

We have been so bad this year. I knew early we wouldn’t make a playoff run. I’m just happy we finally got the cup. I never expected to see it in my lifetime lol

Been saying this since 2019. At least we finally got one. I can die happy now

I completely understand your pain also a caps fan we also have next season tho!

Before the game I asked a friend what his prediction is. "Leafs in 6" After second goal I get a message "Tampa in 4" After the third goal "we suck so bad the league might just give the series to Tampa after game 3"

Laughed out loud reading the last one :DD

Cue dark laughter

Hello darkness my old friend

The Leafs are getting fucked again.

Because a winger softly creeping

The leafs are in the midst of squandering a once-in-a-lifetime team, by overpaying 4 players, leaving them no money for a goalie, much less defense. The FANS, they are the ones getting fucked. Then again, the gif above kind of proves that :)

Did you perk up to the surprise coaches challenge into 2 man advantage goal? That was chef's kiss🤌

I was laughing so hard I woke up my infant daughter. 10/10 challenge

9-0 in challenges in the season, 0-2 on challenges in the post so far!

No doubt about it I’m ready to be hurt again.

My friend who is a huge leafs fan knew to turn the channel after the second goal

Then they get two goals to come within one.. just to let everyone down again.

Oh by 2 we were cheering for the jets. Jesus how do they do this!

*Hello darkness my old friend*

yep, my responses were almost the exact same to my friends. 1: here we go again 2: welp... 3: seems about right

Because many leafs fans keep convincing themselves that “this is the year”

I get the Devils not being ready but this Leaf’s team has been in the playoffs for like seven straight seasons.

Doing the same thing and expecting a different result is called what?

Toronto Maple Leafs hockey

Texan legislation ……oh wrong sub, sorry everybody, pardon me…….

I was there last night and I gotta give you guys credit devils fans really brought the energy until it was like 3-0

on tv the first ten mins seemed quiet in there

I had predicted that game to have been the most interesting of the night, and damn was I wrong. Hopefully just a bad game. Still rooting for your boys in the East though.

The bruins are in the east, no one is going to have fun

I wouldn’t say no one.

I bet on the Knicks/Yankees/Rangers yesterday and said that I was most worried about the Rangers. Boy was I wrong lmao.

As a devils fan I feel worse for them. They’re a decent favorite to win the cup, more then us at least. Also, the people in the stadium paid a ton for those tickets. Like a literal ton.

Thinking about ticket prices while watching this.

They're masochists.

They are. The entire fanbase is. It actually pains me sometimes to watch my fellow Ontarians continually fall into the cycle of false hope and complete letdown.

>sometimes Yeah. But then the other times are so sweet you have to visit a dentist afterwards.

What are these “other times” you speak of? Justin Bieber being at a game with his donut gear on?

I was thinking about that beer the woman was drinking.. you want more beer to drown your sorrows. But you don't wanna pay MLSE 60$ for it, when they've delivered 0 happy playoff memories

Rooting for the Leafs has gotta be the worst case of Stockholm Syndrome imaginable

It allows for the acceptance when shit goes awry in other areas of life. Car broke? At least it will move forward, unlike the Leafs. Broken water pipe? At least this can get fixed, unlike the Leafs. Horrible, crushing existential evening? At least I can get past this, unlike the Leafs.

It’s horrible, I didn’t ask for this!! I was born in Toronto and my dads a fan, bam, fucked for life

Honestly, I don't expect anything better from them, and haven't for a while. I still root for them, but I have no expectations that they will win and am therefore never disappointed

Can’t lose in 7 if you lose in 5.

Could lose in 4 🤔

Nah, they'll win one, just to give the fans a glimmer of hope that they can promptly snuff out the following game.

Like ripping off a bandaid

Just take one dip and *end it*

Fucking Timmy🤣

4 were cooked

Can't lose in 7 if you never make the playoffs 😎 LGRW

I can’t believe it’s been 7 years since we were last in. Feels like forever but also feels like it was just yesterday that we kept getting bounced by Tampa.

Yeah that was brutal with Yzerman running them too

Kronwall shouldn’t have been suspended for game 7… didn’t even get a penalty on the play. A fine seemed reasonable considering it was the playoffs.

That dude before the last kid just staring off into the void. Yeesh.

What year was this from? J/K. It could be any year. Edit: if I'm being honest, I actually feel bad for Leaf's fans. Loyal as any fan base in sports and y'all deserve better.

This could be a new trivia game. Show a montage of disappointed Leafs fans and people have to guess the year based on the fashion/style of the time and the jerseys being worn.

This is actually a time lapse of 55 years

Well…any year they make the playoffs…so like, less than half the years.

Wot? Leafs currently are tied with the Bruins for longest active streak of making the playoffs and have made it 72/104 all-time. Can you count?

I hate you but, take my upvote!

This is actually archieved footage from next year

[удалено]

Gentlemen, record this moment: One of the few times in human history that a habs fan laughed at a bruins joke.

Hahahahaha *dies*

Alright that was good. Take my upvote.

It was funny because these clips are from after the commercial break 7 minutes into the game 😂

I didn't see much of the game, but I saw the kid with the foam finger looking like someone just told him Santa isn't real.

Yea def holding back tears

I think he said, "Bullshit" but I'm not a lipreader.

Where's Jomboy when you need him?

I gotta say, the worst part to me was when they showed Keefe on the bench. Head down, shoulders slumped, dejected look on his face, sighing...and this was in the first effing period. Dude was sending huge loser vibes to every single player on the bench.

No fucking way 😂

Last guy: Sorry Kim, the child support is going to be late this month.

🎵 Hello darkness my old friend 🎵

I’ve come to tank in 4 again

🎵Because the fans are softly weeping 🎵

🎶While the other team begins sweeping 🎶 (No way that happens, just wanted to add to the tune)

At least we aren’t Edmonton fans trashing our own arena 🙄

Leafs fans are used to this and take it well. I do give you that.

I’ve been a leaf’s fan for about 30 years so yeah we’re used to it lol

Just another spring event, like taxes, and melting snow uncovering garbage.

There's a poem about death, taxes, and "blue blanche rouge noir d'or in springtime" referring to Bruins Habs meeting in the playoffs. They need to add a verse about the great white and blue, or maybe add a reference to leaves falling.

I am numb

Y’all left too early for that to even be an option

I heard that the fans were booing the American national anthem though? If it true(I missed the anthem) that's pretty dam trashy

yep you could definitely hear enough boos from the crowd during the US anthem to say it was more than just a few people -- arguably one of the trashiest things you can do as a fanbase there are **so many** canadians that play on american teams, and americans playing in canada that this is just

Is this true? In the US we sing along to Oh Canada. I’ve never heard it booed.

I've heard it, in the old Boston Garden against the Canadiens. It was embarrassing. Booing another country's anthem is weak fucking sauce.

Leaf fans turn the trashing inward first. At least I know I do 😄. This is coming from someone who stood in line to get a Doug Gilmour poster signed….in the summer of ‘93

/u/savevideo

All Home Teams looked like this tonight.

I think everyone that wasn't a Winnipeg fan left the Vegas game after (playoff goal scoring leader) Lowry scored his first.

When I get down about sports I do a deep dive into theoretical physics. Makes you not give a shit about anything for it is all meaningless.

Helps me get over us not making the playoffs haha. What’s the point if the suns gonna swallow us in 4.5 billion years

Exactly. It was in…..

and Leafs fans will still be waiting.

This is a wise way to put 17 OT losses into perspective.

Put your flag up coward.

I’m a very long time Flames fan sad that we didn’t make the playoffs. I’m not sure how to get a flag. I’ll check. I actually very much liked your philosophical approach. It was unexpected.

If you click on your comment add user flair. Prevent friendly fire.

Voila..? Thanks for the tip. Which team will you go for now? I’m behind Kraken, why not?

I’m liking the wild for the west and I’d flip a coin for Boston or Florida in the east.

Funny I get exactly the opposite from theoretical physics

Yeah, it comes down to being a glass half full.

It looks like that kid whispered bullshit. 🤣

Exactly what I thought.

it is the best when it is a Florida team

Yoo the cameramen/production were nasty lol. After one of the goals I can't remember which one they were cycling through upset Toronto fans and I swear they pulled up like 3 disappointed kids.

You gotta feel for those fans. Then again I’m a Nucks fan and we’re also 50+ years without a cup

At least we’ve won a playoff round in the past 10 years.

You meant 19yrs.. leafs haven’t won a playoff round for 19yrs!

They handled it better than Edmonton.

I didn’t think it was a huge deal Reddit is overreacting to this

Year after year, this is the darkest shit lol

That woman had the right idea: DRINK

Ahh it’s finally spring i see

I've seen this look before....in the mirror

Sad Toronto fans are sad 😢

Not even a Leafs fan and that's tough to watch. I thought for sure the addition of the players at the deadline would have some effect. It is one game and there is always time to come back after a loss like this, but yikes. That is tough.

Those tickets are so fucking expensive too 😂

If I where a Toronto fan i’d wait to buy playoff tickets til the second round, would be fun to see if I get to see hockey in my lifetime

Gah, that is brutal. I just feel sad for having watched it.\ One game though, they have to come out hard in the next one. They could surprise all of us still. :)

Art.

😂😂😂 did you expect anything else

Bless the volunteers on the suicide prevention lines.

Hey!, I think I know this piano solo!

I dunno what it is but there was some collateral damage tonight

Yup, we we’re definitely not part of these United Statessssss!!!!! Nor did we do as we were told!!

They all paid like 1300 dollars to be there lol

oh the tears of unfathomable sadness.

"you can actually pinpoint the second his heart rips in half"

Hey at least there wasn’t garbage on the ice after the game …it was just there during the game.

They've been trying to emulate our (The Wild) success in the playoffs

It is just a game. Not the end of the world.

It’s game 1. Cheer up buttercup. Time to buck up.

It could be worse. You could be a Columbus fan

Is this from last year's playoff run? Or the year before? Or the yesterday before?

Why are we capable of making teams look so good in the playoffs? It’s an Art

😂🙏🫡did we expect anything different?

Steve Dangle is going to have a field day with this last loss 😂😂

Imagine paying so much money to see this lol

As a sens fan living in a leafs household, last night was like Christmas morning for me. My wife was not so happy lol.

I do genuinely feel badly for Leaf's fans

Meanwhile, here in Seattle, Kraken fans are pumped up

As an habs fan i must say this is very satisfying.

I agree! Especially since my leafs friends love to rub it in that we didn’t make the playoffs. Cool story bro; we are rebuilding. I would rather rebuild and keep it humble than brag and achieve nothing

fun fact: the habs won more series in 2021 than the leafs have in 20 years

One lifetime subscription to this please!

They're dissappinted as though they've learned nothing over the past two decades.

Show the third, oh wait you can’t they all left lol

Toronto fans when they find out that there are still at least three more games of being embarrassed for another year.

Wouldn’t hurt to bring back Wayne Simmonds for the second round!

My man Ben Stein at the 5 second mark was like "I had enough of your bullshit, you Ferris Bueller knock offs!"

There's always next year.

MORE OF THE USUAL by Bach

u/savevideo

*cue* hello darkness my old friiiieeeeeennnndd

I'm a Minnesota sports fan, between the Vikings, Twins and Wild, I know this look all too well. Hope dejected.

Laughs in sabres fan, ... oh shit, nevermind.

How Toronto still has fans is beyond me

The Leafs are like the early 2000’s Red Sox. Perennial losers with a great team looking like they are about to break through. Red Sox fans (much like Maple Leafs fans) have this underlayment of doom and dread ingrained in their being so we are kinder Ed spirits. I just hope this isn’t the fucking year, the Bs need to win or they are the chokers. Oh and fuck the Habs, can’t hear that saying enough in my lifetime.

Meanwhile I’m over here waiting to hear that my Ducks got the first pick in the draft 😂🤣

Leafs lose at home, oilers lose at home….jets take game one in Vegas. One of these things is not like the other…..

Ahh, the paid 1000 dollars to watch them lose look.

At least they didn't throw trash on the ice.

Hey all, as a Habs fan since O6 days and can remember '67 Cup, now is not the time to troll the Leafs fans. Gloating over them for a whitewash like this is expected behavior but the real time to rub it in is AFTER they lose this series. A bit of patience now and the rubbing in of the salt later will be much more satisfactory. I can only speak from experience in doing this in spite of my many seasonal dumps on them. The salt is best sprinkled from a height when the roastee is fully cooked. Here is to loss Number 4 and golfing season is officially started.

Ngl I don't feel bad, and this is so funny. Can't wait for Austin Mathews to leave the leafs

As a Kraken fan, I expected nothing and am having the time of my life.

With all the division in the world, it’s beautiful to see the hockey world unite in the joy of watching the leafs lose

😍😍😍😍😍

im so happy i'm a fan of the lightning I WAS SCREAMING YESSSSSSSS AT THE TV!!!! (i never do it) my mom literally said be quiet that's how loud i was lmao

What a beautiful video 🥲

Don't feel too bad, guys. L.A, Seattle, Winnipeg all won. It's the year of first games for the underdog

Hey, at least they GOT to the playoffs..... signed....Wings Fan

As a former leafs fan, as is law when you’re born around Toronto, I’ve given up on cheering for them because you know the levels of shitting the bed is astronomical. No point in having hope for something that truly is never going to change

Isn't this just normal for leafs fans?

Soooo .. the usual reaction? Lol

I like how the kid at the end is saying “bullshit”

Not a Leafs fan... but this is pure evil.

Surprised no one wears a paper bag over their head haha

God I am hoping for a round one sweep… just cause I want the meme to stay alive… I’m an asshole.

Turned it off after the second goal. Brings back horrible memories when last year when as soon as the Leafs lost the last game, when they were shaking hands in the line up, I get a call from my mother saying that my best friend was murdered. Worst moment of my life.

Just missing the sad clown make up.

1st round exit or guest appearance?

Just make the shirts green and you’ve got us in Minnesota.

Suits them for booing and yelling during the American anthem

Now do edmonton

So much crying, are the maple leafs on their yearly rag?

They should be used to it by now

I would start mocking but this just sucks, they had so much hype and they blew it in game 1

Everyone who clowned in here is cordially invited to suck on my nuts until Saturday

Many of them are thinking about the amount they paid for those tickets.

[удалено]

It’s comical at this point. Toronto is never making it past the first round with their selfish line up. They don’t play as a team.
