The Toronto Maple Leafs are heading into the weekend with the unusual NHL season on the line.
And Leafs fans are not happy.
The Columbus Blue Jackets were trailing 3-0 halfway through the second period on Thursday night before a hat trick fromĀ Pierre-Luc Dubois lead to an overtime heartbreak for Leafs fans.

It was the third time in the Blue Jackets’ playoff history that they scored four unanswered goals after facing a 3-0 deficit. For the Leafs, it means things could potentially get really ugly on Friday night as they try to stave off elimination at 8 pm ET.
Until then, here’s how fans reacted to Thursday night’s bitter loss in the virtual world.
