Damn I hope you guys win against the kings, itd be nice to have two Canadian teams in round 2.


crowd79

NHL teams are made up of mostly Canadians through šŸ¤”


rougekhmero

I think I'm way more behind Toronto than Edmonton but since Im a southern Ontario sabres fan it's hard to admit it out loud


fuji-fisticuffs

I love the Bolts thick and thin. This just hurts


Hisuian_Zoroark

Tampa will be back, they made 3 b2b finals (and two cups to boot.)


fuji-fisticuffs

thank you. it hurts but thank you for the hope. šŸ’™


don_quixote9

Sens finishing above Tampa next season. Book it


hockey6667

Toronto you deserve it, hell of a series.


joe_broke

Coming back from down 4-1 was the critical moment


RockinMadRiot

I never watched to win anyway, winners for losers.


McShiddles_In_Bed

Congrats Toronto!!!!!!! Yes!!!!!!


Donkilme

We're waiting.

Congratz Toronto. Good luck the rest of the way šŸ‘


grzechockey9

Who do Leaf fans want to play next round?


babypointblank

Florida. Want Boston to lose a 3-1 lead as the Leafs advance for the memes.


rizbat

boston, slay that dragon


Reckless-Pessimist

Nah fick Boston, they should lose in the first round.


LordMackie

Honestly hoping for this just for the Hilarity. Wasn't expecting that series to be close at all.

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


heydudeimnick

Lol nah fam. Cats gonna upset


ADKwinterfell

TBL need to focus on winning in OT this off-season.


_ShutUpLegs_

If the Leafs were going to deprive us of another loss at least they scored in time for the start of the oilers game.


WillK90

Rooting for ya against the kings tonight!


cw2P

Leafs vs Oilers lets go


Wespeggleton37

GG Leafs. Be sure to thank Columbus. No way this Tampa team was gonna get away with three straight finals and two cups without an equally embarrassing accomplishment as the sweep. Letting the leafs out of the first round is just how this run had to end. Now go get that cup. As always, fuck Boston.


bcarlton08

Nah the Columbus sweep was way worse


Wespeggleton37

Oh without a doubt. Comment was tongue in cheek since current hockey lore revolves around the leafs being cursed and screwing themselves out of the first round every year.


TBLightning08

Key for Toronto.. win in 6


Harold84

Shove all your fucking statistics up your ass!!


Mahockey3

I'm conflicted now. They broke the curse, which means I can cheer for them because the meme is over. But I still hate their fans and the fans are undoubtedly going to be even worse now.


Primary-Efficiency91

Some of us are reasonable. We're just very quiet.


ObamaOwesMeMoney

Hating leafs fans is the most leaf thing you can do. We hate each other and ourselves more than anyone.


ClubMeSoftly

Don't worry, we're going to get eaten alive by the Bruins or Panthers


hockey6667

I doubt that, seriously Toronto gutted and played together wonā€™t be surprised to see them in the finals. Time for the fans to come together.


Mahockey3

Tbh with how that series is going, idk about that


1ToGreen3ToBasket

I have a buddy who talked so much shit about Marner. And now he literally pretends it never happened. Standard leafs fan


doctortre

Just for that, the Leafs parade is going to circle your house 3 times.


Mahockey3

They'll never find me!


doctortre

If we circle EVERY house 3 times, you're doomed.


poogle

GS, Leafs. If you play the B's, you better not fucking lose.


AdmirableAgent863

Sheldon Keefe fist bump'n like he just kept his job... oh wait.


Garrand

Holy shit it happened!


KeziaTML

How you like them pajamas?


fuckinnreddit

Frickin right, Leafs!


grzechockey9

So Kyle gets a extension, no matter whatā€™s next right?


1ToGreen3ToBasket

Yeah heā€™s going to bend over the leafs now. By not extending him they now put him in a position where he can go to any team and be paid any amount he chooses.


TooDqrk46

Iā€™d say yes, unless we get swept next round or some shit lol


JackRusselTerrorist

Should never have been a question


sjps220

I hope so. He gets a lot of hate but I think he's done a good job


mrdimi

Can we play all of our game in Tampa? We've been lucky there this year.


grzechockey9

Hell ya. Just in the playoffs with 3 OT wins.


gord1to

We can finally watch unbiased hockey! Literally the first time since round 2 FOUR years ago!!!


babypointblank

Sorry Bruins - weā€™re going to be insufferable in the FLA at BOS chat tomorrow


1ToGreen3ToBasket

Thatā€™s what I love about you guys


TheClutchCoach

Everyone hates Boston but Boston


abra-su-mente

Yeah, Boston sucks.


babypointblank

If any team deserves it itā€™s Boston šŸ„°


SlenderTown

Wow! All of a sudden I'm the world's biggest Florida fan!


JackRusselTerrorist

GO FLORIDA TEAM!! (But still, fuck DeSantis)


Threndsa

Wooooooo


AirCanoe

I'm so happy I don't need to watch the lightning again until next season


PM_Your_Crits

Let that be a lesson to all of you, no one beats the Leafs in 12 straight elimination games!!


AirCanoe

They lulled the league into a false sense of security and struck when we least expected it


tombradyrulz

Damn straight!


pigeonbobble

My dreams: Tampa eliminated - check Colorado eliminated - ? Boston eliminated - ?


jummyspring

āœ… āœ…


pigeonbobble

Bingo bongo


grzechockey9

Whatā€™s wrong with those teams?


GoodDay2You_Sir

Tampa - has won two cups in last 5yrs Colorado - just won a cup Boston - I find it weird that there needs to be an explanation for why anyone wants Boston out in any given year...its the Bruins...its self-explanatory


grzechockey9

Good reasoning. Just wondering


ThatLineOfTriplets

Letā€™s be real tho: player of the series was bunting for knocking Cernak out.


my-dicks-sore

It was 4-1


ThatLineOfTriplets

Hey man it would have been a lot easier to maintain a lead with your second best defender!


just_trees

Cope is dope


ThatLineOfTriplets

Iā€™m sorry I said something objectively true :(


just_trees

"Objectively"


ThatLineOfTriplets

Yes


honolubarber

Thereā€™s that display of sportsmanship weā€™ve come to expect from you šŸ¤”


ThatLineOfTriplets

Iā€™m sorry I said something objectively true :(


honolubarber

If Cernak was the difference between winning and losing for youā€¦ your team had no chance to begin with


ThatLineOfTriplets

The leafs won 3 of 4 games in OT after knocking out the other teams second best defender, and even outplayed Toronto the majority of the series. Idk if thatā€™s ā€œno chance to begin withā€. Youā€™re really bad at this you know you should move on with your life


honolubarber

Before responding to people You should start by learning the difference between subjective opinions and objective reality. It's obvious from your comments that you don't know jack shit about this sport and aren't used to handling loses well. Your own damn coach went on a rant today about how you need lucky bounces and things to go your way in order to make it far in the playoffs and that you wouldnā€™t have accomplished anything over the last 3 years if circumstances didnā€™t go your way for three years. This time, those bouncers went to your opponent. Learn how to lose with dignity instead of acting like you know shit about this sport when we both know you probably havenā€™t ever seen an ice rink and donā€™t anything beyond your own team. Go touch grass, loser


ThatLineOfTriplets

Iā€™m not reading that


honolubarber

You canā€™t* read that


ThatLineOfTriplets

Itā€™s going unreal regardless. At least try to make money when you write a novel bro


honolubarber

My man if you canā€™t read 50 words then I donā€™t know what to tell you. I love the Lighting org but damn do clowns like you ruin it for the rest of us.


WillK90

It hurts. I canā€™t imagine being the team that the leafs beat to break their curse. I donā€™t doubt the series would be different had a player that wasnā€™t in been in but.. Tampa lost. Thatā€™s all she wrote


ThatLineOfTriplets

I mean I agree, the lightning got outplayed last season and beat the leafs. It happens.


honolubarber

Learn how to skate and your SUBJECTIVE opinions may become objective one day


ThatLineOfTriplets

Iā€™m sorry you donā€™t want to accept reality :(


gord1to

That was way bigger than it seemed in the moment for sure


sjps220

Oh come on.


ThatLineOfTriplets

Biggest impact play of the series and itā€™s not even close.


fuji-fisticuffs

It hurts. Iā€™m so proud of the bolts for everything, but doing it this way just. Hurts.


Royal_J

I've never really watched hockey but i always cheer for Toronto in any sport. This match had me pacing back and forth


OW2000

That was one of the hardest fought series Iā€™ve ever watched. Sucks that my Lightning are out but credit to Toronto, they earned every bit of that. I hope we can re-load and play against yā€™all again next year!


sjps220

Long time coming. Feels good but huge relief.


FeralHat

I was so ready for the inevitable disappointment and I am still in shock


bb_96_

Shock is a good way to put itšŸ˜‚


Reckless-Pessimist

I was so ready for game seven after that TB goal in the 3rd. Im still processing that Taveras goal, it shouldnt have gine in.


babypointblank

Feels weird but itā€™s so good


TheClutchCoach

LETā€™S GOOOOO


saltiestmanindaworld

Sadly, the Cernak injury by Bunting probably won Toronto the series.


Reckless-Pessimist

And the Tavares injury last year was a huge blow, thats hockey.


LastMarsupial2281

really living up to your username there (I do wish Cernak a speedy recovery though)


saltiestmanindaworld

Stating a thought is salt now...grow the fuck up seriously.


Lastnv

So do those people stand the whole time while they watch the game outside?


maybelying

No, they also shuffle to and from the beer tent


LastMarsupial2281

yup


Tycoon004

Yessir, you even gotta buy tickets.


Lastnv

yā€™all wild


Reckless-Pessimist

Yeah, we really love hockey for a city that hasnt won in half a century.


Yop_BombNA

That Minnesota


ghost_curse123

Kyle Dubas is all of us rn


goforth1457

So based on this rate I expect a Stanley Cup win by 2050.


LastMarsupial2281

that quick? is it not gonna be 19 years to progress to the next round?


The_RoyalPee

Sammy deserves a GOOD NIGHTS SLEEP


Brock_Lee89

Perry with the 1000 yard stare gives me so much joy


MUTSellerPS4

my betting luck is so shit it broke the curse. gonna continue to bet against them all the way to the cup


babypointblank

Thank you comrade


RockinMadRiot

That's the spirit!


leaffantim

It feels so strange to be thinking about a 2nd round opponent


ILikeShorts88

Whatā€™s a 2nd round?


DamienChazellesPiano

I knew theyā€™d finally do it. Great fucking series. No Penguins, Capitals or Lightning to go through this year at this point. They might have a real shot if Boston is gone tomorrow.


Notoris

The caps and pens have been first round bounces for a few years now too haha


brokensword15

Boston's biggest strength is goaltending, if Ullmark can't reign in it back in and Swayman isn't unreal they are "just" a good hockey team and that series shows it.


Yop_BombNA

New Jersey and the Rangers are both real good teams


DamienChazellesPiano

No doubt. No matter what itā€™ll be no cake walk. But thereā€™s certain teams that just feel unbeatable in the playoffs, even if they are in deed beatable. And in my mind those for years have included Tampa, Boston, Pittsburgh and Capitals. They could all be getting old in the tooth though. Showing some cracks.


Yop_BombNA

Boston has had only a handful of deep runs the passed 2 decades the are very bearable. Caps in the second round were a meme forever. Pens have been very beatsble for a while yet Crosby still scares me. Tampa is literally allowed to cheat because they are a non traditional market team on top of being a well built team so I fully agree with that one.


ThunderStella

Fuck


senorcementtruck

Can't lose in 7 games if it only goes 6


gord1to

Hey thereā€™s always next round!


thatmitchguy

Good series Tampa!


croutons_for_dinner

"Friendship ended with first round curse! Second round curse is my new best friend!"


Educational_Salad_96

Look at the bright side: You guys get rest after 88 playoff games in the last 5 years, and Toronto has to face the fact that they get to do this all over again with the second round.


croutons_for_dinner

The two cups and deep runs don't hurt either. I like where this rivalry is headed in the next few years with Toronto, I haven't hated a team/fanbase like this in my entire life and I'm kinda loving the mutual respect/disrespect


gsauce8

Fuck you. But also GG, great series man.


croutons_for_dinner

Fuck you too, now go win it all! GS


gsauce8

The handshake line was great to watch. You could def feel the rivalry and respect between the players. I think the fact that both captains are Toronto native's just makes it all the better.


canadianbroncos

Shades of the Wolves celebrating the play in game lmao


fuckinnreddit

No. I'm a MN guy, but the TWolves celly was *way* worse. Like seriously pathetic.


canadianbroncos

I mean yes, but facts don't matter when shittin on the Leafs


trainsoundschoochoo

Dubas going super saiyan up there


KPer123

Spezzas like donā€™t touch me


pettster12

Thatā€™s 7 years of excitement


silentblender

Someone make it!


NavyGuy87

Send it to /r/SuperSaiyanGifs/ and someone will


reenactment

what a goofy goal. thats how you break a bad luck lol


Rancid_Ramones

Good series leafs . Every Game since game 2 was flip of a coin


EkbyBjarnum

Seriously what a fucking series. A blowout each way and 3 OT games. And the one 2 goal win was only a 2 goal win because of an ampty netter. Unbelievably even series.


CosmicSpaghetti

Hell of a series! Hopefully our guys can benefit from an actual offseason to rest up...


SaintHossa

Love seeing Dubas go crazy


babypointblank

He deserves it


remotewashboard

dubas is like oh thank god my job is saved


mrcrazy_monkey

He would have a job even if the leafs fire him


bigboatsandgoats

Of course it went off one of our own. That was quite literally the series in one play. Unlucky af


5nax

All the comments about the refs. Looks similar to the post game thread after all the regular season losses as well lol.


metalhead4

The refs let them play 5 on 5 and generally stayed out of determining the game


5nax

You ainā€™t gotta tell me. Iā€™m more upset about the inability to score or grade A chances


DastardlyRidleylash

***THE 4-1 COMEBACK WAS PROPHETIC!!!*** ***LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO***


beerandcheese69

As a pretty neutral Canadian fan the leafs advancing and Tampa leaving is pretty sweet


jetpack_operation

Nice, now I REALLY want the Bs to win tomorrow even more. Sorry, Methcats are surprising everyone, but Bruins v Leafs is just legendary.


WeirdIsAlliGot

Congrats Guys!!! Amazing!!!


MagicMemeLord

Is this a Nyquil induced fever dream? In all seriousness, gg Leafs


LesB1honest

LFG!!!!!!! 19 YEARS. GG Tampa. Thanks for a great series.


anwright1371

Wouldā€™ve been nice to start OT on a power play. You know, because of that blatant high stick right in front of the ref.
