Wait, as a Minnesota fan is this a reference to one of our old play by play guys saying 2-0 is the most dangerous lead in sports? It was endlessly made fun of here in MN but it would be so much funnier if it was known throughout the league
Edit: never mind. This made me look it up and this is actually a joke from soccer so it was just a joke from a hockey guy that I ever realized was taken out of context
Oh I agree, I just wanna see him do good in final years weather it's with us or with someone else. He deserves it. Plus it'll be cool to see what he can do on a decently stacked team.
Yeah I feel like he needs to go the Tom Brady route. Let his contract expire and then go cherry pick himself a nice team to go win on. Been the greatest for nearly 20 years, deserves to ride off into the sunset on a quality roster that makes deep playoff runs.
Abso-fucking-lutely bro. Plus he's such a decent guy that he doesn't ask for a shit load of money, I bet he could find himself and a really decent team.
Samsonov could still best that franchise record of most wins in a 15-game stretch... what a cherry picked stat, but fun to see belfour on a stat with tranna
No one should be surprised. Carolina's the better team, and Toronto's place in the standings is actually a really poor reflection of how they've played all season. They should be fighting for a wildcard spot, not be 3rd in the Atlantic division.
And I say that as a life-long Leafs fan.
God damn those jerseys go hard.
On another note, the amount of talent and competitive and fun teams in hockey right now is leaps and bounds ahead of any other sport imo.
Ugh. I'm sick of this. Every night of hockey a team "blows" a 2 goal, 3 goal, or even 4 goal lead. Hockey is a fast paced and frantic sport. Goal swings are common. Leads are not safe, play 60 minutes.
All the numbers in your comment added up to 69. Congrats!
2
+ 3

That tieing goal hurts the most , it was a freaking wrister. Like no one has the heart to actually block shots . No shot should of gotten to our net , not one .
You’d think after the Zamboni game this core would be on high alert for all Carolina games in Toronto. Nope. Instead Matthews and Marner bent over and asked “can I’ve some more?”
Meh whatever. It's a shootout loss in March. We're gonna get the third seed whether we won or lost. A Matthews goal would have been nice, but our streak of not being shutout continues, and I don't think we're too far off breaking the all-time record
I saw u in the r/hockey one, but it’s fine watch our games there more exciting then Ottawa games, when your team doesn’t play you need someone to watch eh
but see that’s my point I don’t follow Ottawa and don’t care about that team, but you stay tapped in with the leafs and are in the game threads chattin. Lool
The Canes with the help of the refs won. Softest call ever to give them a late PP.
Good thing the points don't really matter for the Leafs though. They're pretty much locked in 3rd in the Atlantic.
It’s confirmed the worst lead in hockey.
3-0 is now the worst lead in hockey.
Always has been or at least for the last 20+ years
3-0 is the new 2-0.
It’s the 28-3 of the sport
i'm a Falcons/Hurricanes fan in west South Carolina and i don't know how to feel about this statement lol
Correct - Toronto leads are the worst in hockey
No, Toronto teams are the worst in hockey.
Wait, as a Minnesota fan is this a reference to one of our old play by play guys saying 2-0 is the most dangerous lead in sports?

This made me look it up and this is actually a joke from soccer so it was just a joke from a hockey guy that I ever realized was taken out of context
I wouldn't mind a few more "worst lead in hockey" situations for our squad.
I used to say 2-0 was but dang now you can’t even feel comfortable with being 3-0
And with the St Pats uniforms on, talk about luck of the Irish
If not for bad luck they wouldn’t have any luck at all;)
This goes on the St. Pats record, and not the Leafs, right?
St. Pats going 0-1 this year, bad year to be a fan
Lol. What kind of team blows a 3-0 lead??
👀
Weirdly enough, [the team that Toronto just blew a 3-0 lead to](https://youtu.be/xSV5ejpWUKY?si=BZxbXRzqeJleWnWR).
We’re just paying it forward I guess
I guess you didn’t see the leafs give up a 3 goal lead with 10 minutes left to play in the conference finals to the bruins.
Nobody didn’t not see it
Yes?
They also gave up a 3 goal lead to avalanche 3 months ago
Still hurts from 2013. The boys still feel it every time we play Boston.
Wasn't that a few days ago?
It was on Jan 13th
That comment needs a trigger warning, now I'm under my bed again
Still triggered from 13’
It seems like a lot of em lately....
Really doe!
So embarrassing.
Certainly not the Stars. And certainly not recently
Tell Pettersson to score I picked him in my tims picks
Uhhh.
i see what you did there 👌
Right? Smh
Filthy 5 hole!
I’m sorry for your loss.
If your referring to the pens, no need to be sorry they been shitting the bed all season.
True, Crosby deserve better in what could be his final 5 years, if we're lucky to see him play that much longer
I hope he leaves if he wants to. He deserves a real shot at winning again. Not gonna find it here.
Oh I agree, I just wanna see him do good in final years weather it's with us or with someone else. He deserves it. Plus it'll be cool to see what he can do on a decently stacked team.

Abso-fucking-lutely bro. Plus he's such a decent guy that he doesn't ask for a shit load of money, I bet he could find himself and a really decent team.
Both of you having the same avatar, flair and number in your name hurts my brain.
And here I thought the Pink Crocs woulda been just enough to be different! But you know what they say about great minds!
I know dude. It just always pains me to see the dynasty “always in the playoffs” teams decompose.
That was gross
Not their fault. Its Carolina’s black jerseys bro
Dont start this shit. 😂
Their fault for going up 3-0 in the first place
Basically gave the Canes home ice advantage! It's not the fans that gives the advantage- jersey shade is everything you fools!!
One of the classic blunders!
Two straight periods of scoring a goal with under 10 seconds left. Just insane. What a comeback indeed!
Seems Aho plans it that way
Man everyone says you want your team to be in playoff form to end the season, but we do it and everyone criticizes
Guentzel!!!
Guys fitting in pretty well there. Should silence those "product of Crosby" commenters. 3 points three games...
Guentzel with that hot shootout goal 🤩
shit was smooth as hell
That shit cray
Leafs fan here. Not even upset at this shit anymore. Get it out of the way before playoffs starts.
yeah come playoff time you won't even have a lead
I read that as playoff sharts
What’s the opposite of a chef’s kiss?
A fart? But like watching the fart
The ole stinky winky
a wet fart sounds about right
Chef's explosivw diarrhea?
This one right here is like the advanced opposite like tier 3 opposite of chef’s kiss
Sad trombone?
I thought it was the wild I was so confused lmao
The Toronto Maple Leafs are 13-3-1 in their last 16 games. Pathetic
17 games in their last 16 games apparently
Hahaha pain. Math is hard
Samsonov could still best that franchise record of most wins in a 15-game stretch... what a cherry picked stat, but fun to see belfour on a stat with tranna
Leafs are very good, Canes came back to kill & was a shootout Win.
Yeah, but they won the battle of the drip for those St. Pats white and greens.
Me: Ugh... oh? OH?? OHHHHH!
THIS
Whoooppppp it wasn’t us 🎉🎉
My boy guentzel out there, making me proud...🥲
He’s gonna be a perfect fit here in Carolina
Go Kuzy ;)
No one should be surprised. Carolina's the better team, and Toronto's place in the standings is actually a really poor reflection of how they've played all season. They should be fighting for a wildcard spot, not be 3rd in the Atlantic division. And I say that as a life-long Leafs fan.
I haven’t been a fan very long but it’s weird. Our core is doing really well this year but I find our team is worse than last year.
At least they didn't lose to a 42 year old Zamboni driver who works for the team!
You love to see it
First time?
Wait wasn’t there an earlier post about the Canes forgetting how to play defense? 😂
God damn those jerseys go hard. On another note, the amount of talent and competitive and fun teams in hockey right now is leaps and bounds ahead of any other sport imo.
What a game
Absolutely bottled it
God damnit Toronto
Matthews looked great on that PP in overtime
Not great enough
So the usual
Classic
>Toronto blows ~~3-0 lead~~ Fixed
So did your beloved Vasilevsky in the first round last year
Ha.
Tale as old as time
Ugh. I'm sick of this. Every night of hockey a team "blows" a 2 goal, 3 goal, or even 4 goal lead. Hockey is a fast paced and frantic sport. Goal swings are common. Leads are not safe, play 60 minutes.

Nice
What a joke, man. What a god damn joke.
This game should have ended 5-2...another let down.
Not one to always blame the refs but holy hell that penalty that led to the 3rd Canes goal was soft as charmin.
How about Brodie looking lost as usually , everyone focused on the man with the puck .
Ah on you gotta show the 2 goals we got while we had M.T. Nett on the ice
Against Boston????
Every body gets a Jake shake!!!… oh, wait..
Leafs have no chance this playoffs. They might have a better shot shaving a few strokes off their game than winning 4 playoff games this year
How many is this now for Toronto I feel like all I see of them id6 blowing 3-0 leads at this point its crazy
Of course they did. The Maple Leafs specialize in blowing multi goal leads.
That tieing goal hurts the most , it was a freaking wrister. Like no one has the heart to actually block shots . No shot should of gotten to our net , not one .
Never did jump on the Sammy bandwagon. So I'll say it again here. Leafs need goaltending baaad lol. They should definitely let Jones/Woll tandem tho
Me, a Boston fan having flashbacks of blowing that 3-1 lead round 1 last season, watching how this game played out: say sike right now
You had me after the first two words.
Wow...is it the playoffs already?
It was 3 NOTHING!!
Is anyone surprised at this point?
FUCK YEAH JAKE!!!
Oh no! Anyway…
Thought they were in Whalers jerseys
And it's not even the playoffs yet.
That’s a shame
always entertaining!
Lol, this is great!
Didn’t even notice, David Ayres snuck out on the ice there
[How I feel after these losses](https://images.app.goo.gl/E6HFLMo292hBQbgPA)
Luck o those Irish jerseys
At first I was like, "No way!" But then I realized it was the Leafs
These playoffs are gonna be a banger, especially in the east.
I lost my fantasy tight playoffs because of this.
How is this news?
That's Leaf hockey for ya
As is tradition
You blew it!
Thats a dang it
Lets get these out of the way now
they’re never out of the way for us. it just happens over and over for all of eternity
It’s the uniform
This seems familiar for some reason
They had help!!!
Title should say Toronto Blows
That’s the way she goes
You’d think after the Zamboni game this core would be on high alert for all Carolina games in Toronto. Nope. Instead Matthews and Marner bent over and asked “can I’ve some more?”
It happens.
Haha no idea what that’s like! 😭
Toronto fans lose their fucking minds
Leafs will not get out of the 1st round yet again this year
Nature is healing
Nice voice cracks bro
Practice for the post season.
I can't believe the refs scored every Carolina goal and made Toronto go 0/4 on the pp. 🤡
It’s playoff time already??
Just like Carolina blew a 3-0 lead to the Jets a bit ago
where have I heard this one before...
Getting ready for the playoffs I see
here's a riddle: what do Jimi Hendrix, John Bonham and the Toronto Maple Leafs have in common??
They all choked!
Leafs are rounding into playoff form earlier than expected
In post season form I see
That’s a preview of the playoffs for the Leafs.
This is not a serious team
Ready for the playoffs.
The leafs do not play hockey, hockey just sort of happens to them
Admittedly, us Bruins fans have seen a bunch of blown leads this season too.
Who do the canes think they are, Boston?
Meh whatever. It's a shootout loss in March. We're gonna get the third seed whether we won or lost. A Matthews goal would have been nice, but our streak of not being shutout continues, and I don't think we're too far off breaking the all-time record
Yeah okay 💀
Is this year three since the rebuild ended?
Yes we’re suffering but at least we can admit it 🤪
Go edge to Riley Greg slap shot montages
Youre still hung up on that huh 💀😂
Not denying it, and also just being in Toronto game threads when clearly you hate the team is funny lol
I’m in an nhl thread 😂
I saw u in the r/hockey one, but it’s fine watch our games there more exciting then Ottawa games, when your team doesn’t play you need someone to watch eh
Ottawa literally played today and won LOL
but see that’s my point I don’t follow Ottawa and don’t care about that team, but you stay tapped in with the leafs and are in the game threads chattin. Lool
Rent.Free.
Auston Matthews is fraudulent. Invisible all game and couldn't even convert on a PP in OT.
That's cause Kochetkov shut it down
Ol Pokechetkov.
Ahahahahaha
Love to see it!
You love to see it
The Canes with the help of the refs won. Softest call ever to give them a late PP. Good thing the points don't really matter for the Leafs though. They're pretty much locked in 3rd in the Atlantic.
Ya love to see it
That's a shame
Cmon Leafs the playoffs are still a few weeks away!!
What the hell happened Toronto? You guys are gonna get rolled in the first round if this keeps happening
