After years of torment, the Toronto Maple Leafs look like they’re finally exorcising their playoff demons.
On the road Monday night, Toronto fell behind 4-1 to the Tampa Bay Lightning. It eventually came back to win the game 5-4 in overtime to take a 3-1 series lead. And everyone referenced the same famous Maple Leafs’ playoff collapse nearly a decade ago to the Boston Bruins.
After the game, a fan near the ice was caught on video trying (emphasis: trying) to have a conversation on the phone. There was just one problem. He was too overwhelmed with joy about the Maple Leafs’ comeback to do anything but seemingly scream at the top of his lungs.

It was such a relatable moment for anyone who’s seen their team win like this in stunning fashion.

Toronto is now one win away from its first playoff series win in almost two decades. Call it a hunch, but this fan won’t be the only one overcome with happiness if the Maple Leafs finally get to the second round.
