Fans in rest of Canada roast Leafs after quick playoff exit
The Toronto Maple Leafs really went out and did it again.
Another year, another Game 7, the same old outcome for the Leafs as they suffered a 3-1 loss to the Montreal Canadiens on Monday evening to be eliminated from the first round of the playoffs for the fifth season in a row.
Toronto remains without a playoff series victory since 2004.
Leafs fans probably won’t get over this one for quite some time, as they held a 3-1 series lead after Game 4 and looked well on their way to be facing off against the Winnipeg Jets.
The rest of the hockey world, however, was loving it. Here’s some of the best Twitter reaction to yet another Leafs playoff collapse:
The Toronto Maple Leafs losing: A sure sign that life is going back to normal.

"Friends" has aired its final episode (May 6, 2004) and has released a reunion special (May 27, 2021) since the Toronto Maple Leafs have last been on the happy side of a playoff handshake line (April 20, 2004).

The difference between the Oilers and the Leafs is that the Oilers are consistently disappointing where as the Leafs build up just enough hope to make the inevitable implosion all the more dramatic and, honestly, hilarious.
