      <title>Watch Toronto Maple Leafs Fans React To Game 7 Loss To Bruins</title>
      <description>For any sports fan who has had to watch their team suffer a devastating loss, you know exactly what is going on in this video.&#160; A group of Toronto Maple Leafs fans filmed their Game 7 party, which went from joy to sadness in about 15 minutes of ice time, against the Boston Bruins in the opening round of the 2013 NHL Playoffs.
The video was uploaded to LeafFan89&#8242;s YouTube channel with this description.
Had my gopro out in hopes of capturing some memorable playoff moments for Toronto but instead got this. Though loss but still had a great time watching the leafs in the playoffs and seeing how nuts all the fans were. I&#8217;m sure leaf fans can relate to the reactions in this video!
I recommend watching this video on a computer in full-screen mode so you can see the expressions on everyone&#8217;s face.&#160; My favorite is the girl in the back left corner, wearing the grey sweatshirt, who is sheepishly smiling [like a secret Bruins fan] and even tries wearing a Leafs&#8217; jersey in OT for support.
The po...</description>

      <title>Maple Leafs Fan Mounts GoPro Camera to TV, Captures Agony of Defeat as Friends React to Game 7 Loss (Video)</title>
      <description>This was an experiment that clearly did not work out as planned.
According to the uploader of the below YouTube video, he&#8217;s just a Maple Leafs fan who owns a GoPro camera and wanted to capture some memorable playoff moments. However, what he ended up getting was visual evidence of a memory that will probably stick in his sports-fan brain for the rest of his life.
In any case, this Leafs fan mounted his GoPro to the top of his TV, planning to record him and his friends while they watched the deciding Game 7 between Toronto and Boston in the first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs. Of course, we all know how the game ended, and this fan apparently had enough of a sense of humor to clip together a range of reactions and post it online. There&#8217;s the elation when Phil Kessel scores to put the Leafs up 3-1, and the utter heartbreak caused by Patrice Bergeron.
Check out some Maple Leafs fans going through the entire gamut of emotions in the video below.</description>

      <title>Maple Leafs fans record their experience of excruciating Game 7 loss</title>
      <description>This Toronto Maple Leafs fan used his Go Pro camera to try and make some fond memories as he and his friends gathered together to watch the Boston Bruins-Leafs Game 7. &#160;Unfortunately, the Maple Leafs epic collapse gave them this depressing video. &#160;Their reactions are pretty expected, too sad and shocked that they lost to even be angry about it. This video pretty much defines what sports are all about, they can make you feel on top of the world one minute and rip your heart out the next.

      <title>Top Ten Memes From The Toronto Maple Leafs Choke</title>
      <description>As it&#8217;s been well-documented the Boston Bruins scored three goals in a nine-minute span of the third period to turn a 4-1 deficit to the Toronto Maple Leafs into a remarkable 4-4 tie in the memorable Game 7. That incredible flurry set the stage for the Bruins to end Toronto&#8217;s season with a Patrice Bergeron game-winning goal in overtime. Since then Maple Leaf fans have had to deal the grief of another unsatisfying season. Also in those several days it has given others time to rejoice in Toronto&#8217;s pain and create hilarious memes. Here are the top ten memes that poke fun at the Maple Leafs&#8217; epic collapse.

      <title>Toronto Is Having A Rough Couple Of Days</title>
      <description>Monday night seemed like it was about to be the start of a wonderful week in Toronto, Canada. The Leafs were up 4-1 on the road against the hated Boston Bruins. There were thousands of people in Maple Leaf Square just waiting for the final few minutes to tick off the clock. Phil Kessel and Leaf Nation were about to get their revenge after years of mocking.
Fate had other plans.
The Bruins surmounted one of the craziest comebacks in sports history and Toronto was left speechless.

&#160;
It was going to take a while for the city to come to grips with this heart-wrenching loss. Luckily, it is baseball season.
This was supposed to be the year that the Blue Jays would provide the shoulder for Toronto to lean on. They spent tons of money in the off-season and the AL East looked ripe for the picking.
Fate had other plans for the Jays, too.
They are currently 17-24 sitting in the cellar of the surprisingly good AL East.
It gets worse.

      <title>Sportsnet Gives Hockey Fans Behind-the-Scenes Look at Game 7 of Bruins-Maple Leafs (Video)</title>
      <description>Game 7 was a wild affair for everyone involved, and that includes the media as well. That especially includes media that had to make the quick trip from Toronto back to Boston for Game 7 which was just one night after Game 6.
Canadian sports network Sportsnet was one of the outlets that had to send its people back to Boston for Game 7, which is no small task. And once you arrive in the city, it&#8217;s obviously right to work. The network decided to use a GoPro camera to document the entire day beginning with waking up at 5 a.m. all the way through the end of Game 7 late Monday night.

      <title>Toronto, Go F yourself. Love Cleveland</title>
      <description>So the Toronto Maple Leafs choked harder than Bob from Bill Swerski&#8217;s Superfans, blowing an insurmountable 4-1 lead with 10 minutes to go to the Boston Bruins in game 7 of the Stanley Cup playoffs. You have to feel for Toronto right? A city and nation starving to get back to the playoffs for the first time in 9 years, on the verge of a huge come from behind series victory upset and riots through the streets of downtown Toronto. Wrong. I don&#8217;t give a **** or feel sorry for you. I am from Cleveland.
Do not give me this was heart-wrenching, heart pulled out of your chest, it was going to be a victory for the city stuff. Cleveland sports have played with my emotions like Twista does with hoes. I have dealt with it daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, and hell for my entire life. I should be predisposed to the feeling and should not get so emotionally attached, yet I drink the Kool-Aid like it was EctoCooler and still end up feeling like I did when the world lost Tupac.

      <description>This was posted online at Kijiji, which is basically the ebay classifieds, shortly after the Toronto Maple Leafs blew a 4-1 lead and lost in overtime in game seven to the Boston Bruins. &#160;The description is hysterical and I wish there was video of the TV being broken which looks like it was beaten repeatedly with either fists or a bat.

      <title>Joffrey Lupul: Game 7 loss &#8216;will haunt me until the day I die&#8217;</title>
      <description>Joffrey Lupul does not tweet very often. He has tweeted just over 1,100 times, and he hadn&#8217;t tweeted since April 23. The playoffs began on April 30. Lupul finally broke his three-week Twitter silence by sending this emotionally-charged message on Tuesday, less than 24 hours after his Toronto Maple Leafs blew a 4-1 3rd-period lead in Game 7 against the Boston Bruins:
That hockey game will haunt me until the day I die&#8230;
&#8212; Joffrey Lupul (@JLupul) May 14, 2013

The Leafs are believed to be the first team to blow a 4-1 third period lead in Game 7 of a playoff series. They lost 5-4 in overtime, and that was after coming back from down 3-2 in the series.
Lupul&#8217;s actually had some crappy luck when it comes to the playoffs. In his second NHL season with the Anaheim Ducks, the team lost to the Edmonton Oilers in the Western Conference finals. The Ducks traded him to Edmonton after the season, and the Ducks went on to win the cup while the Oilers missed the playoffs. 
Lupul did not have a point...</description>

      <title>Dejected Faces of Toronto Maple Leafs Fans </title>
      <description>The&#160;Toronto Maple Leafs haven&#8217;t made it to the NFL Playoffs in nine years, so when they went into the third period of game 7 against the Boston Bruins, with a two goal lead and 90 seconds lwft, the fans partying on the streets of Toronto had a lot to cheer about. Then one of the most epic collapses in hockey history&#160;occurred&#160;and the Bruins pulled off a come from behind victory for the ages. Lucky for us, photographers, Rick Madonik&#160;and Vince Talotta were there to capture the pure dejection. Not that we want to throw salt in the wound of Maple Leaf fans, but while Boston was cheering this is what was happening up in Toronto.&#160;
Third period coming to a close, the Leafs are about to win the game!
  
But wait&#8230;

      <title>Toronto Maple Leafs called out by Toronto Sun for choking</title>
      <description>The Toronto Maple Leafs completed the biggest choke job in the history of third period of Stanley Cup Playoff hockey. Yes, the Leafs blew a 4-1 lead in the third, gave up two goals in 31 seconds, and lost to the Boston Bruins 5-4 in overtime to lose Game 7 of their Eastern Conference series on Monday night. 
The local paper, the Toronto Sun decided to put the joke err choke on them. It was rightfully deserved.
Hey, Leafs fans, it&#8217;s not as if we haven&#8217;t been there before; the Bruins blew a 3-0 series lead to the Flyers in 2010. Happens to the best of us.</description>

      <title>Leaked CT scan of puck injury a fake?</title>
      <description>Mark Fraser suffered one of the worst hockey injuries to date during Toronto's Game 4 loss to the Bruins.

The Maple Leafs defenseman took a Milan Lucic shot to the forehead and required surgery to repair a broken bone in &quot;his cranial area.&quot; Days after the surgery rook place, a Reddit user uploaded a photo of what he or she claims to be Fraser's CT scan from St. Michael's Hospital. ( Warning: The image could be considered graphic to some; you can see it here .) The user, however, has been erased from Reddit.com, and the hospital claims it followed proper procedures and never released it to the public, according to multiple reports.

&quot;St. Michael's can release images only to a patient or the patient's requesting physician,&quot; the hospital said in a release Monday. &quot;We investigated today whether this scan had been released inappropriately.

      <title>Toronto Sun rips Maple Leafs for Game 7 loss</title>
      <description>The thrill of victory is great, but the agony of defeat always makes for better and juicier headlines. &#160;Take the Toronto Sun for instance and their reaction to the hometown Maple Leafs blowing a 4-1 3rd Period lead in Game 7 against the Boston Bruins, losing 5-4 in overtime. &#160;&quot;The Choke's On Us&quot; might be a little harsh considering Toronto did fight back from a 3-1 series deficit to force the Game 7... but with the Leafs' recent run of futility, Toronto is going to embrace this collapse like they are the hockey embodiment of Sergio Garcia.  	On the bright side, it's Blue Jays season or something.&#160;  	H/T Toucher and Rich</description>

      <title>Toronto Sun Cover Proclaims &#8216;The Choke&#8217;s on Us&#8217; After Maple Leafs Blow Three-Goal Lead Against Bruins (Photo)</title>
      <description>The Toronto Maple Leafs looked assured of advancing to the second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs after taking a three-goal lead against the Bruins in the third period of Monday&#8217;s Game 7. Somehow, they didn&#8217;t.
The city&#8217;s first playoff team in nine years is instead heading home after losing 5-4 to the Bruins in overtime, thanks to four unanswered Boston goals. Maple Leafs goalie James Reimer made 30 saves and played well, but he couldn&#8217;t hold down the fort during a frantic final minute that gave&#160;the&#160;B&#8217;s new life.
Instead of gearing up for their next game, Toronto fans are now left figuring out how it all went wrong, and the Toronto Sun isn&#8217;t pulling any punches in its analysis of the team&#8217;s &#8220;epic collapse.&#8221; Check out a photo of Tuesday&#8217;s Sun below.

      <title>St. Michael&#8217;s Hospital Denies Releasing Mark Fraser&#8217;s Fractured Forehead CT Scan (Photo)</title>
      <description>Mark Fraser suffered one of the worst hockey injuries to date.
The Maple Leafs defenseman took a Milan Lucic shot to the forehead in Game 4 of Toronto&#8217;s opening-round series with the Bruins and required surgery to repair a broken bone in &#8220;his cranial area.&#8221; Days after the surgery rook place, a&#160;Reddit.com user uploaded a photo&#160; of what he or she claims to be Fraser&#8217;s CT scan from St. Michael&#8217;s Hospital. The user, however,&#160;has been erased from Reddit.com, and the hospital claims it followed proper procedures&#160;and never released it to the public, according to NationalPost.com.
&#8220;St. Michael&#8217;s can release images only to a patient or the patient&#8217;s requesting physician,&#8221; the hospital said in a release Monday. &#8220;We investigated today whether this scan had been released inappropriately. Our investigation showed that proper procedures were followed.&#8221;

      <title>Toronto Gets Revenge on Bruins With &#8216;Thank You, Seguin&#8217; Chants While Maple Leafs Force Game 7 (Videos)</title>
      <description>Nothing&#8217;s ever easy in the Stanley Cup playoffs, and the Bruins are certainly no strangers to that after losing to the Maple Leafs in Game 6. That means that there will be a winner-take-all Game 7 on Monday night at the TD Garden, where the winner advances to the next round and the loser&#8217;s offseason starts earlier than they&#8217;d prefer.
Phil Kessel scored another game-winning goal against his old team to electrify the Air Canada Centre crowd, who rained down &#8220;Thank you, Seguin&#8221; chants directed at Tyler Seguin his suddenly scuffling Boston teammates. If NHL fans have learned anything from the past, though, it&#8217;s that everything is up for grabs in a Game 7.
The Leafs looked like a team playing at full capacity on Sunday night, but a quick turnaround for Monday&#8217;s final showdown will test their resilience. If they continue getting superior efforts like the one that resulted in Kessel&#8217;s goal, however, it could end up being the Bruins who are tested.
Check out video of the crowd taunting&#160;the&#160;...</description>

      <title>Cuthbert, Reimer's wife exchange looks?</title>
      <description>In Season 2 of the action series 24, Elisha Cuthbert's character, Kim Bauer, inexplicably won a staredown with a mountain lion. And so a fellow hockey WAG was no issue on Wednesday night in Toronto.  	In Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals between the Maple Leafs and Bruins, Cuthbert's fianc&#233;, Dion Phaneuf, committed a silly pinch leading to a game-winning goal on James Reimer. And it just so happened that Reimer's wife was sitting directly in front of Cuthbert, creating quite the awkward moment...  	 		The Elisha Cuthbert eye roll. Vine courtesy @katevmurphy - vine.co/v/b2PFre2auF5 #PopularMechanicsforKids #Leafs 	&#8212; Kate McKenna(@TSNKate) May 9, 2013  	Now, April Reimer insists that she wasn't firing a dirty look at Cuthbert and that the two were exhibiting their frustration with a rude fan sitting nearby.&#160;  	 		For those who were thinkin @happyelishas and I were rolling our eyes @ eachother. Was the jerk beside us #rudecomment twitter.com/april_reimer/s&#8230;...</description>
