WHO HERE AFTER 2024 FIRST ROUND

Visiting this video has been an annual tradition for 4 years now.

Who’s back here after they lost to the Lightning in 2022, thereby giving the Leafs sole possession of the longest active drought of playoff series wins?

Congratulations Maple Leafs! YOU MADE IT TO THE SECOND ROUND FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE 2004!

2021: “You’re up 3 games to 1 against ‘Le Canadiens’. To no one’s surprise…you completely take the piss.”

Fun fact: The largest salt mine in North America is located in Scotiabank Arena

Who's here after the leafs lost yet another game 7 at TD garden?

2024: "You're determined to show that last year was not a fluke and you have a chance to do it against the choking hazard that is your old nemesis in Boston." Game 1: Okay that was a painful start, just walk it off there are plenty of games left to play. Game 2: That's better, try to keep it up. Game 3: Or get beaten. Game 4: Make that go flaccid. Whelp season's over. Game 5: And like that you've... won? Is Boston choking? Game 6: They are, they had you on the ropes and now they're choking like only they can. Game 7: Oh dear, it's in BOSTON! But unlike in previous years, you're not the ones choking. Now go forth and slay that demon. Uh is anyone going to score? YES! You've done it you've scored and the way things are going you'll... let in a goal. That's not good. And just like that, Boston defeats you. How? They were in full-on choke mode! The only thing you've done in the last two decades is winning a playoff series against a team dying of old age and then got slapped down to earth by their angry cousin. And now when you have the chance to prove that every stereotype about you is wrong you can't get it done. Your season is over and all you've done is bloat the arrogance of Boston. Again.

20 minutes in: "Huh, this is taking a while, we're only in the early 2000s, how long is - it's not even half done. Oh boy."

“Zero fucks were given as money was made” - Leafs history in one sentence

And 4 years later, this documentary is still relevant today. Welcome to the biggest ̶j̶o̶k̶e̶ choke of all professional sports

Since this video was made, an extra hour could be added to the length of this highlight reel

Hey fun fact: the defunct Thrashers have made it to the second round as many times as the Leafs have since 2004!

Where is the red light district in Toronto? Behind the Leafs net

57 years of failure and counting with no end in sight. David Pasternak serves you a loss on a trey of spaghetti. Your history of being smacked by Boston continues.

The simple fact that this video took 40 minutes to watch tells you the state of the Leaf's franchise.

The Maple Leafs: a team so laughably bad, not even Mike Myers could make good in the Love Guru.

poor Steve Dangle, you could feel his pain during the whole "They lost to a 42 year old zamboni driver, WHO WORKS FOR THEM!!!!!!!!!"

Toronto. The only city in North America where the leafs fall in the spring.

Add Nazem Kadri to the list of ex-Leafs who won a Stanley Cup after leaving the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Last time Toronto Maple Leafs won a Stanley Cup: Lyndon B Johnson was the president, Lester Pearson was the Canadian PM, and The Graduate was the highest grossing movie that year. Last time Toronto Maple Leafs won a playoff series: George W Bush was the president, Paul Martin was the Canadian PM, and Shrek 2 was the highest grossing movie that year. The Toronto Maple Leafs are the Dallas Cowboys of hockey.

The Columbus Blue Jackets: after almost 15 years of being the league’s abandoned oil boom town, they have come back with a vengeance to be the grim reaper of teams who have been spoiled rotten.

Leafs made history again. First team in NHL/NBA/MLB history to lose five straight winner takes all games in the first round of the playoffs.

The Maple Leafs have fulfilled the Groundhog Day prophecy once again.

3 things are inevitable: death taxes the leafs choking early in the playoffs

Toronto Maple Leafs: Rebuilding since 1967.

The fact that this video is less than 2 years old and there's already new content to add to the choke archives, is incredible. 0-5 in closeout games in 2021 and '22.

This has aged quite well

Hurricane Man's role here might have been small, but it deserves an Oscar.

I can’t wait to marvel my eyes at UrinatingTree’s finest work.

"Did I ever tell you what the definition of insanity is?"

The Boston Bruins… Stomping on Maple Leafs since 1969…. and counting…

Really like the Steve Dangle addition at the 42 year old Zamboni driver part

"It must be spring, the leafs are out..."

30:43 ANNNNDD, Phil Kessel picked up his 3rd Stanley Cup ring with the Vegas Golden Knights. That team hadn't even been alive 50 years before the Maple Leafs won their last Stanley Cup win. Dear god, how cursed do you have to be?

2024: You’re coming back from a 3-1 deficit against hated Boston. You have a chance to overcome your demons at TD Garden. Get it done boys! (Boston proceeds to win in overtime) Toronto fans: Vietnam flashbacks.

At least their Arena is advancing to the playoffs this season. Edit May 31, 2021 - The Leafs actually outdid themselves this time 😂 Thanks for all the likes

Don’t let this distract you from the fact that Cody Ceci has more playoff goals than Evgeni Malkin this decade

2024: Well, here we go again. Matthews is coming off a regular season where he was in God Mode for the entirety, but team Defense is non-existent, and Samsonov and Woll have to transcend time and space just to keep leads intact. Mitch Mariner has stopped giving a fuck. That's the joke. And your Round 1 opponent is... Oh God. Round 1 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs Games 1-4: Gee, who could have possibly seen this coming? /s The Leafs lack of a defense has come back to haunt them, as the offense sputters to a halt because unlike last year Jim Montgomery remembered Jeremy Swayman was a Vezina-caliber goaltender. Just do us all a favor and don't get our hopes up. Round 1 Games 5 & 6: Wait. You found a defense!? This is unprecedented. Okay, you have my attention. Now all you have to do is- Game 7 at TD Garden: Not that. Injuries to Jacob Woll mean that Ilya Samsonov is the man in net. And the man loves him some Pasta.

And whose here after The Leafs lost in Overtime in another game 7 to the Bruins after coming back from 3-1 to force a game 7

And now, the Toronto Maple Leafs officially have the longest title drought in the league.

Harold Ballard died on the same day I was born. Finally this team gave me something to be happy about

Update 2023: YOU'VE DONE IT LEAFS!!! YOU'VE WON A PLAYOFF SERIES FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 19 YEARS!!! 2023 Semi Finals: WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT? You had the momentum going into the Semi Finals and you only won ONE GAME. Good Lord. It's going to be another 19 years before you get past the semi finals? CONGRATS LEAFS, YOU HAVE ONCE AGAIN RIPPED YOUR FANS HEARTS OUT. 2024 Update: CONGRATS LEAFS!! YOU'VE ONCE AGAIN FALLEN TO BOSTON IN THE PLAYOFFS! SAY GOODBYE TO YOUR CORE!! THE EMOTIONAL PAIN FOR TORONTO FANS ONLY INCREASES!!

Anyone else here after their fans chanted “We Want Florida!” and then got demolished in 5 games? 😂

The first moonlanding is closer than the Leafs' last Cup

I'm from the future buddy... It gets worse. (EDIT) I'm now from further in the future and it gets even worse.

2021: “You lead the canadiens 3 games to 1. To no one’s surprise you take the piss.” 2022: “Your up 3 games to 2 against the Tampa bay lightning. To no one’s surprise you take the piss again.”

I come here every year after every game 7 loss....it's like tradition now.

My father, God rest his soul, made this comment in 1985: "The Maple Leafs will never win a Stanley Cup, not while I'm still alive." My father passed away in 2009, and futility continues to prove him right eleven years later.

“Larry Murphy is such a malignant cancer that he proceeds to be a key contributor to back to back Stanley Cup winners” really got me

C is for "it's not a Choke, it was a close series" O is for "Overtime, I got a good feeling." P is for "Penalties, the refs screwed us!" I is for "It was our year!" U is for "We're so Unlucky, guys!" M is for "Media loves our team and they cant stop fellating our Leafs!" COPIUM. Year 2 of 10 before permanent deletion.

The curse of Harold Ballord still lives!

as a leafs fan ive been waiting for this for a while, We Are Such A Joke. Maybe one day, maybe one day

“The islanders won a playoff series in Toronto before Tavares did” Ohhhhhhhh that’s just mean 😂

Since Phil Kessel was traded: The Leafs: one playoff series win. Phil Kessel: three Stanley Cups.

2021-22 Season Okay this HAS to be the fucking year to do it. High end talent from top to bottom, Jack Campbell playing out of his mind, Auston Matthews with 60+ goals on the year and a second consecutive Rocket Richard Trophy. This level of talent brings you to the playoffs facing the Back to Back Champion Lightning. There is NO WAY in whatever circle of hell Harold Ballard is in that you can fuck this up. Game 1: You mop the floor with Tampa 5 0 and make them look like school boys. You FUCKING GOT THIS! Game 2: A little stumble into a 5 2 loss but it's fine. nobody was seriously injured like previous years and Matthews and Marner are actually doing something. Hope is still alive Game 3: You pull a reverse card on the Lightning, beating them 5 3 on their own ice and take the series lead. You can do this! Game 4: YOU GET A TOUCHDOWN SCORED ON YOU And you go back to Scotia Bank with the series tied at 2. You're going to fuck this up, aren't you? Game 5: It's a nail biter but Jack Campbell shuts the door to lead you to a 4 3 win and a 3 2 series lead. youre not going to blow this like last year. right? Game 6: In a tightly contensted game, it goes into Overtime. you can put the Lightning to sleep with ONE FUCKING GOAL! Game 6 OT: On a rush chance, Matthews trips over himself leading to a counter by the Lightning and Brayden Point forces a game 7 like you've forced pain onto your fanbase since 2004. Game 7: So instead of an OT dagger to either win the series or lose and rip your fans hearts out for the 100th time, you choose a slow death by regulation as you fail to solve Andre Vasilevskiy rubix cube. Where do you go from here?! Roster is deeper than ever. Jack Campbell is a wall, you have an elite goalscorer in Auston Matthews and depth to back it up in Morgan Reilly, William Nylander and John Tavares and you STILL CANT WIN A FUCKING SERIES!!?? Get out of my sight. The Flames of cap hell are coming for you. Boy-Wonder Kyle Dubas is on thin ice and this team either needs an overhaul or a Stalin like purging to set the ship right. (Heavily edited for grammar mistakes and score correction)

Toronto Maple Leafs: Rebuilding since the Original Six

Harold Ballard makes Eugene Melnyk look like Mike Ilitch

Well… looks like we’re back to this again

The five words to make any Maple Leafs fan stomach turn have been uttered: Game 7 at TD Garden.

“Man why is he celebrating ballard’s death, i mean the dude was cheap af but thats not that bad” * sees 16:30 * “oh nvm”

September 28, 2020: Hey guys!? Do you remember Luke Schenn? He got himself a Stanley Cup with another team that also has a blue and white jersey.

Still relevant in 2024.....

2020: Nick Foligno 2021: Nick Suzuki 2022: Nick Paul 2023: Nick Cousins Why does a Nick always beat this team?!

A team that wears blue & white and played in Toronto in the playoffs won the cup... and it wasn't the Leafs.

Can’t lose to the Bruins in game 7 if you don’t even make the qualifying round.

Who's back here after the Leafs lost in 7 to the Tampa Bay Lightning and now have the longest playoff series drought?

Who's here for the yearly Toronto Maple Leafs history lesson of failure and disappointment?

"Stronger than a bear, faster than a buck. The biggest thing to hit Canada because the Maple Leafs suck!!" -The Rock, 2003.

You could fit all of the Leafs accomplishments over the past 50 years inside a Chinese Fortune Cookie.

CONGRATULATIONS LEAFS YOU'VE LOST 5 FIRST ROUND GAME 7S IN A ROW

Okay, who the fuck is still watching this after Leafs made another historical moment? Becoming the first team to lose in NBA/MLB/NHL a winner- take- all game in the opening round of the playoffs 5 years in a row

The last time the Leafs won the Cup, color wasn’t invented yet.

This video DEFINITELY needs updating for the 2021 Maple Leafs team.

Popping in to re-watch after Boston won in game 7 YET AGAIN. May the meme live on eternally.

2024 Round 1 Game 7: Congratulations Leafs YOU STILL CAN'T WIN GAME 7 AT TD GARDEN

This has gotta be your longest video ever posted eh. Being a Leafs fan is serious pain.

Mindless Asinine People Love Endless Losing Even After Fifty Seasons

Who's here after Toronto lost another game 7 to Boston

Welcome back to our yearly gathering in this video’s comment section

Missed opportunity to mention that Pat Burns coached the Devils to a Stanley Cup after the Leafs fired him.

This is Oscar worthy documentary material here. Well done tree, Well done.

2024: "You once again find yourselves against the Boston Bruins and find yourselves taking it to 7... To absolutely no one's surprise you lose."

It's extremely funny that every single year, I can scroll through and see the 'who's here after-' posts, year after year after year. When's the part 2?

"THIS TEAM IS RUINING MY LIFE" - Stevie Dangleman Words to die by.

People ask me: "Why are you a Leafs fan?" Me: I have no clue.

To everyone saying that the legacy is over. The leafs only got past the first round.

You lose, in the 1st round, to whaddyaknow, THE FUCKING BRUINS!

Don’t let this distract you from the fact that the Bruins have not won a playoff game this decade

Somebody is gonna have to send this to Steve Dangle 😂😂😂

Who's here after the 2024 playoffs

2021: Ok, this is the year, Joe Thornton, Wayne Simmons, Jack Campbell playing like a god this has to be the year. You won your division, Mathews won rocket Richard and you’re playing an underdog in the Canadians in the first round. Oh, there goes Tavares, we’re fucked. Luckily Tavares’s injury inspires the team to go up 3-1, you’re going back to Toronto with a chance to take the series, you just erased a 3-0 deficit. This is it. Aaaaaaand you loose in the first minute of overtime, ok, head back to Montreal, you can still win this. And look at that, you laid another egg in overtime. I’m not even going to pretend you have a chance to win game 7, your fucked. Yep, there we go. You just choked a 3-1 series lead. On top of that, you now hold the record for longest cup drought in history. Congratulations. You blew it. I will keep editing this comment every year until they win a cup. 2022: Holy cow, this teams great. Mathews has 60 goals and won another Rocket Richard. Marners having a career season, they found a new instigator in Bunting, they were even able to pick up Mark Giordano at the deadline. And now they have a series lead against a division rival? I haven’t been this exited about this team since… oh, right, last year. The leafs are able to find new ways to piss away a series when they blow a 3-2 lead in the third of game 6 to lose in overtime and then lay yet another egg in game 7. But sure, you can blame the refs. It’s totally the reason your 0-10 in elimination games. 2023: Jack Campbell betrays the team and decided to sign with the inferior oilers. In what totally wasn’t a panic move they get Samsonov and Murray to be the goaltending duo this year. Hopefully this works. It works to perfection, despite a slow start Samsonov rises to the occasion and the leafs are once again cup contenders. They go all in at the deadline. O’Rielly, Accari, Luke Schenn, McCabe. Again, totally not panic moves. This team is cup bound, forget the last 7 years they don’t matter. They even get to finally win a series, not only that, it’s against the team that beat them last year in the lightning. Yeah, f*ck you and your dead f*cking dynasty. It’s the leafs time now. Just imagine the glory, Tavares and Giordano getting long awaited cups, the years of failure being washed away and this roster being solidified as legends, the parade down Toronto. It will be beautiful. Then you wake up and realize it’s only the second round. The leafs get their dicks kicked in by the panthers. You heard that right, not the bruins. The fucking panthers. It wasn’t like it was close either, it was a gentleman’s sweep. All of that for just 5 games in the second round. Back to the golf course with you. 2024: You know what this team needs, physicality. Domi and Bertuzzi can be signed to one year contracts. We’ll also get Reeves on an overpayment cause that’s what teams pretending to be tough do. You might say that their defence is still incredibly lacking and Samsonov is not a true starter but that doesn’t matter when Austin Matthews scores 69 goals. That boy just earned himself the most expensive contract in the league. Why pay for defence when you can just outscore your problems. Nylander can also get $11 million. He is the only forward to show up for the leafs in the playoffs after all. Matthews gets pulled out because of food poisoning of all things and Marner’s too busy bickering on the bench to do anything. They still force a game 7 against the hated bruins off the back of a red hot Joseph Woll only for Samsonov to start in game 7 and the bruins to take a massive dump on leafs fans hopes and dreams… Again. Don’t worry Toronto, maybe one of these days you’ll get revenge on Boston.

I won't be surprised if the Raptors win their second NBA title, the Blue Jays winning their third MLB World Series, Toronto FC wins their second MLS Cup and the Argonauts win their 18th CFL Grey Cup before the Maple Leafs win it all.

Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it… 😔

You’re here after Kadri won with the Avalanche aren’t you? The key is to get older. Much older.

35:57 in NFL terms, imagine the guy who mowed the grass in at&t stadium playing QB for the giants after both of theirs go down. He then goes 9/17 with 112 yards and a TD and leads the giants to a win

When this popped up in my recommended and I saw this was 40 something minutes long, I went out for an order of stuffed clams, a big chicken parm hero and a six-pack. Got the goods, settled into my recliner, watched the vid and had a great night.

2022-23 NHL Season Your team is once again an Atlantic Division juggernaut and a legitimate Cup contender. Despite a little bit of a down year from Auston Matthews, other guys stepped up, especially Mitch Marner, who finished the regular season one point shy of 100 points mark. You finished the regular season on the second place in the Atlantic Division with 111 points and were set to play the Tampa Bay Lightning in the first round again. Good luck boys. 2023 NHL PLAYOFFS ROUND 1 Game 1: Well, that is not how you want to start the series against a team that made it to the Stanley Cup finals three times in a row. You got absolutely spanked by the Lightning who erupted for 4 power play goals in a 7-3 blowout win Game 2: Ok guys, you pulled an uno reverse card on the Lightning and beat the brakes off them with a 7-2 victory. However, Tampa stole the home-court advantage with the series heading to Florida. Game 3: Holy moly, what a game for the Leafs. Tampa played with the advantage throughout the game, but you made it to OT, thanks to Ryan O'Reilly's goal with one minute left in regulation and outstanding performance by Ilya Samsonov. However, I still do not think..wait a minute, you won after Morgan Rielly's goal? Well, ok, let's head into game 4 Game 4: Well, this time you are not so lucky. Tampa is on the mission in this game. You are down three goals halfway through the third period. So, the series is back to Toronto with two games...WAIT, WHAT? You just scored three goals in seven minutes to tie the game? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? And now we are headed to OT once again Game 4, Overtime: Holy crap, you did it. YOU DID IT AGAIN. Alex Kerfoot with a game-winner and the maple Leafs have a 3-1 series lead back to home ice. The Toronto Magic is here, now finish the Lightning off! Game 5: Well, we all knew that it is gonna happen, didn't we? The Leafs once again were down in the third period, tried to mount a dramatic comeback, but fell short because of the Tampa's bottom-6 performance and Andrei Vasilevski moving back to his prime form. Now series is headed back to Tampa for game 6. Game 6: Game 6 turns into an absolute slugfest. Neither team can score for more than half of the regulation time, but the Leafs are holding a 1-0 lead heading into the third period, thanks to Auston Matthews' one-timer. However, Tampa responds in third with a Stephen Stamkos' goal. And now we are going to OT. Again. Game 6, Overtime: Holy crap. HOLY COW. IT. HAPPENED. The Toronto Maple Leafs eliminated the Tampa Bay Lightning and MADE IT PAST THE FIRST ROUND. John Tavares, the local kid and captain, became the hero in overtime! Steve Dangle and the fanbase finally have something to be happy about. So, now you have to face your ultimate boogieman: the Bru...OH MY GOD, THE BRUINS LOST IN THE FIRST ROUND AFTER BLOWING A 3 GAMES TO 1 SERIES LEAD TO THE FUCKING PANTHERS! 135 POINT SEASON ONLY TO LOSE IN THE FIRST ROUND! So now the Leafs have to fact a mad dark horse team in Florida Panthers. 2023 NHL PLAYOFFS ROUND 2: Game 1: You lose 2-4 to the Panthers in a back and forth showdown after coming back from 0-2 deficit. Better be ready for game 2. Game 2: Ok, you start the game very well and up two nothing at the beginning of the first period... Only to give up three goals after that. The Leafs have almost entire two periods to score, but unable to do so because of Panthers' mature playing and Sergei Bobrovskiy moving back to his Vezina form for a second game in a row. You are down 0-2 in the series and in a big trouble, cause now series is heading to South Florida. Game 3: Well, your season is pretty much over. Panthers won game 3 by the score 3-2 in overtime, despite not leading for a single second before the game-winner by Sam Reinhart. All you have to defend now is your pride, cause if the Leafs made it to the second round only to get swept, that would be hilarious. Game 4: Well, ok, you avoided a sweep by winning game 4 on the road with a 2-1 score, thanks to goals by Nylander and Marner. Now, you are flying back home, good luck in game 5. Game 5: No, there will be no miracles for the Maple Leafs this year. You mounted a comeback after being down two goals and forced OT only to fall there, thanks to Nick Cousins' game-winner. The fanbase is sad once again. At least, this playoffs is better than everything you have produced for the last 19 years. Better luck next year. 2022-23 NHL Season: Debriefing At least, the Leafs' fans have hope and not just misery after the playoffs. The Blue And White Brigade finally made it to the second round, so there is hope that cup drought would finally end. However, some major changes may take place in the offseason, especially at the head coach position. Well, yeah, Kyle Dubas is gone. PS: sorry for orphography

Now it is 55 years
