- TRIGGER WARNING: The following video contains scenes that may cause horrible pain for Maple Leafs fans and/or vicarious joy for division rivals.
I've been waiting for the right time to work on this vid. Now is finally the time. Come and witness over fifty years of failure, greed, strife, and ineptitude in all aspects of the team. Do I try to make a long explanation here? Of course not. The answer is to get right into it.
I can only hope I did this justice. - กีฬา

- coping leafs fan 😭
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?
After the Florida Panthers got out of their drought this past Friday which was 8 years longer.
The Leafs haven't even got past the first round of the playoffs in about 20 years.
🤦♂️
I'm not
I’m a leafs fan and I watch this once a month. I’m always back. This might be a kink at this point.

Ah...40 minutes. It says so in the video. Lol. Curious, do you scout for Toronto? Cuz the obvious seems to elude you? LoL
(Just joking with you)
I started watching it without checking the video length.
40 minutes still isn't enough to summarize the plight of this broken franchise.

Hey fun fact: the defunct Thrashers have made it to the second round as many times as the Leafs have since 2004!
Wow..u just blew me brain
Vegas has more cup final appearances in their first year than the leafs post expansion
The Sabres haven’t made the playoffs in 10 years and they won a playoff series more recently than the Leafs
Actually, both former Atlanta hockey franchises have had more success after moving to Canada than the Leafs in that entire period.
Lmao as a former thrashers fan i laughed
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.
boston can only win when the other team chokes harder

The Maple Leafs could have ended their 30-year drought in 1997
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.
We just need a new shrek movie then maybe the leafs can win a series.
@IonXtreme Of course. Bill Clinton was the president the last time Cowboys won a Super Bowl.
And the average high school graduate was born in...

More like the Chicago Bears
@@stonedsniper8932 2 more Shrek movies were made since the Leafs last playoff series win. Another Shrek movie would still be more successful than the Leafs in the past 53 years.
The simple fact that this video took 40 minutes to watch tells you the state of the Leaf's franchise.
Everyone talks about how bad Phoenix is, and they're bad, but compared to Toronto, they look like children's play in comparison
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.
they don't like to talk about that. they like to say.... we were close. maybe next year.
It's to be expected. This is a team that lost to their own zamboni driver.

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.
Too many Good Teams - Thanks to Movies SLAP SHOT & Miracle !
well, they’re going to lose to Tampa this year I think. Lots of heart but not much skill. We’ll see how far Korpisalo can carry them though
They better beat Tampa Bay this year. I want to hear his reaction if they lose again to the Jackets.
CHAD STOUT it’s more about what they already have done. It’s about being fuelled by a rage the likes of which the league has never seen before after being considered naturally dead for much of their existence up until 2016-17. You can’t sign or trade for that. Whether they beat Tampa or not they will not being going away soon.
Viceregent of/du Canada I am not familiar with Columbus’ prospects or who is coming up the pipeline, but they need a lot of help up front. Dubois is really solid and Foudy looks great. Jenner and Foligno provide some veteran grit, but I think ideally those guys play further down your lineup. Atkinson is unreliable. 40 goals one year, 12 the next. The only player who didn’t register a shot in today’s game against Tampa. That’s right - for BOTH teams, the ONLY player who didn’t register a shot on goal was Cam Atkinson.
Nyquist, Bjorkstrand, Nash, and the rest of their forwards are serviceable but unremarkable. They struggle to generate offence that isn’t the result of a point shot or a scramble. Again, look at the game today. It was tight, but Columbus had no business being in the game. Tampa Bay pulverized them. It was one of the more one-sided playoff games I can remember watching. Luckily for Columbus, Korpisalo is really dialled in right now. He looks excellent.
All this to say they may remain a pesky team to play against, but without an injection of skill I don’t think they will be making a deep playoff run anytime soon. Now that I’ve said that, I’m sure they’ll win the cup this year to make me look like an asshole lol

Hello.

Don’t let this distract you from the fact that Cody Ceci has more playoff goals than Evgeni Malkin this decade
And Marner...
Cody Ceci has 0 playoffs goals. Qualifiers aren’t playoffs
@@nouh3053 They are. Two teams play each other in a series to advance. Whatever your opinions are on the qualifiers they count as playoff stats.
Shin547 I think for statistical purposes they are playoff games. I know the round robin games were, and they didn’t even follow the playoff format.
Shin547 I mean yea they count as playoff stats but let’s be real if it’s not in the 7 game 4 round format does it really even count
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?
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?
So cursed that the only way to beat it is by just deleting your entire franchise and relegating it to the Recycle Bin of history
3 things are inevitable:
death
taxes
the leafs choking early in the playoffs
And the panthers never making past the first round or more than half the time not even getting into the playoffs
And 3-0 comebacks

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.

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
Game 6 is now in Overtime. Will this be the year the Maple Leafs shake off their label as chokers.
@@cooperwolfe5478 this time they finally do it.
Good job keeping this up to date. Gotta keep going until they’re eliminated or win the cup
Thank you
Time for an update
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
This has gotta be your longest video ever posted eh. Being a Leafs fan is serious pain.
Fr it was hard stomaching the first 5 minutes.
I mean, I am only 22 so I have not suffered much compared to older Leafs fans...But even these last few seasons make me wonder why I continue to support this team...While at the same time refusing to ever give up hope...
He has an hour long video about the Steelers
@@michaelv32 I think that's the full DoOS series
Or serious Joy! if you're not. But seriously, I admire die-hard fans of teams! Win or lose, you're there till the end!
The last time the Leafs won the Cup, color wasn’t invented yet.
Colour film existed decades prior, its just not all TVs/broadcasts had it.
There actually is coloured footage of their last cup win lol
The 1967 Stanley Cup Playoffs did have telecasts in colour.
@@wendelclarksmoustache5255 Found the salty Leafs fan who doesn't understand humor.
@@AntoRetroGamer Found another salty Leafs fan who can't take a joke and is not fun at parties.
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.
When Sakic wins the cup, Shanahan wins afterwards.
Can’t lose to the Bruins in game 7 if you don’t even make the qualifying round.
I’m sure they’ll find a way
*BIG BRAIN*
They did make the qualifying round dumbass
Modern problems require modern solutions
Toronto just did what’s called a pro gamer move
Don’t let this distract you from the fact that the Bruins have not won a playoff game this decade
Huh
Oh nvm haha
Let's keep it up today
Technically no one has but sure...
as a bruins fan i hate this playoff win drought 😞 lets hope this is the year they break the winless streak :)
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."
2024: 2013 Script
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.
(INSERT URINATINGTREE LAUGH HERE)
Don’t forget McElhinney
A blue and white team that beat the Bruins and the Islanders
"In the category of "Best Sports Documentaries Ever", the Oscar goes to..."
as a Flyers fan a Schenn brother winning a Cup with another team besides the one he played most of his career with hits a little close to home.
“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
th-cam.com/video/E3y3vces-Us/w-d-xo.html Go to 8:48 on this video. that’s what he had to say about Toronto after he won the cup with the Wings lol
Just like Kessel.
What the leafs said about Phil Kessel. He then went to my Penguins and won 2 Stanley cups. I hope he's doing well in Arizona.
Love Larry
@@danglesnipecelly13 nice one. He's right too.
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
Of note for the nfl, the Bengals have done that
This video absolutely DEMANDS a sequel!

We dont love it... but it will be all the more satisfying when we do win... it will all be worth it... 😭😭😭
Do Bap if current fans are still alive by that time...
@@lancewible7512 maybe were like the Cubs, everyone who saw it last has to be dead before it happens again 😅
That hurts! :( Whhhhhhhy? Are you kidding? We're winning the damn cup next year!
This comment is sweet, very sweet.
This video DEFINITELY needs updating for the 2021 Maple Leafs team.
Just download this video and add on Congratulations Leafs 2021 to the end
@@KHayes666 it’s conglaturations
THEY LOST TO A ZAMBONI DRIVER
@@KHayes666 I mean you could do that but having it in the style of this video would be cool
Literally *nothing* has changed. Just watch the "Conglaturation" video and you're good.
I discovered this video over the weekend, and I’ve watched it about 3 times so far. I just chuckle every time I watch it. I think another team in the Toronto area would draw because they’re hockey crazy but they’re just stuck with this team.
Pre-1967: 8-2 in playoff matchups vs. the Bruins.
Post-1967: 0-7 vs the Bruins in playoff matchups.
Still want Boston, huh?
To the “Leafs also chanted We Want Boston Crowd”, you got Boston!
People ask me: "Why are you a Leafs fan?"
Me: I have no clue.
Im a leafs fan cause I support the blue Jays and raptors...leafs just got swept up in it
@@scadwea9109 Been a Leafs fan since roughly around '91-'92. That's nearly 30 years now. And there's literally been no payoff( aside from a handful of conference finals ). I'm starting to wonder whether it's still worth it anymore. Watching the Raptors win the championship pretty much fulfilled my championship desire anyway. :-) No sense waiting around for the Leafs anymore now.
ckendall67 We're currently open to any and all new fans here in Carolina!
I know the feeling except replace leafs with the Knicks(I still don't know why I support them)
hey i feel you man
Tree you do such a great job of connecting your modern, younger audience to the earlier history of sports. This video is a shining example of why that is
Yup, I agree wholeheartedly. I mean, I had no idea of the suffering my fellow Leaf fans of an older age went through, and it shattered any hope or optimism I have for the future now that I have a more complete understanding of the long-term disappointment of being a Leafs fan.
thats a big reason i like these legacy of failure videos. it's good to document what was, and sometimes it's about delivery as to how people will pay attention and like such things. these vids are funny while doing so.
2024 Round 1 Game 7: Congratulations Leafs YOU STILL CAN'T WIN GAME 7 AT TD GARDEN
Its the gift that keeps on giving
As a Boston Fan it feels like Birthday and Christmas combined
I can relate.
Besides him mentioning use losing 2 Stanley cups
I am attempting to find the words to accurately describe just how much I hate you right now.
рууд а finally something Bruins fans and Habs fans can agree on
@@janikowski264 something that unites 30 NHL teams.
Note: 31 by 2021-2022 season.
“What a waste of the prettiest sweater in hockey” - Me, a child in the 1980s
And not much has changed in the three decades since.
I was 10 when the Toronto Maple Leafs last won the Stanley Cup. 55 years later and I hope the younger Leaf fans will experience that excitement soon.
They won’t. Ever. How can you not understand that?
Yaaaa ... I was 12 ... I used to go to the Marlie games ... Cheep Dominion Store tickets ... the Marlies were the Leafs farm team ... who was on that 1967 team? Harris, Gardner, Shutt, Palmateer, Boudreau ... Harris Gardner and Shutt would have gone to the leafs but expansion did it for me! Never been the same/sane ...
Who's here after they FINALLY won a series
This has aged quite well
I know right. This is getting sad. We might get to a point in society where Mike Myers does a second Cat in the Hat film before the Leafs win a playoff series.
Lol no kidding hahahaha
@@cooperwolfe5478 Dude why did this comment make me laugh so hard
@@quietman208 I’m glad that someone finds it funny. I was afraid that people weren’t getting the reference.
You would think that after 55 years they would have got it right.
Guess not.
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.
@Hardy Harhar I'm a Les Habs fan and the Canadiens haven't made back to a SCF since winning it all in 1993.
Well Toronto FC just lost... to an expansion team.
@@sheacorduroy5565 Yes Toronto FC lost to Nashville FC 1-0 AET in the Eastern Conference QF.
I'm talking about down the road.
@Hardy Harhar I’m pretty convinced that the Ottawa Senators are gonna win a cup before the Maple Leafs do. And that’s coming from a Leafs fan......
Let’s include the Buffalo Bills since they’re basically the closest NFL team and most people in Toronto are fans of the Bills. So yeah, I wouldn’t be surprised if the Bills win their first Super Bowl.
The 2022 update to this will be stunning
Back here once again. Leafs are up 3-1 as of today against the Lightning in 2022-2023, waiting for the other shoe to drop.
Do you think they will choke.
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.

@SquidBag This dude has made commentary like this since the early days of being an AVGN-type angry reviewer, he's only gotten better with age.
Kindly just not.
You could fit all of the Leafs accomplishments over the past 50 years inside a Chinese Fortune Cookie.
OH SNAP!!!!!!!!! LMAOOOOOOOOO
You are a legend for this!! I had an asthma attack laughing so hard!! XXD
And that fortune is "please try again next year"
@@xLeafs2012x In the words of former WWE superstar Kurt Angle, "It's true. Oh, it's damn true."
Except fortune cookies are actually from Japan. Unlike the pandemic.
The last time the Leafs won a playoff series... TH-cam wasn’t created yet, Facebook was 3 months old, president George W Bush was still in his first term, same-sex marriages were only accepted in one state (Massachusetts), the video game industry was in its sixth generation (PlayStation 2, GameCube, and Xbox were the main consoles), the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens was a couple months away, The Passion of the Christ was being a box office hit, and the song “Yeah!” by Usher was still #1 on the Billboard 100.
The last time the Leafs won the Stanley Cup... there was only six teams in the entire league, network TV wasn’t in color, America was still in Vietnam, the Space Race was still going, Mao Zedong was doing his Cultural Revolution, president Johnson was in house, Ronald Reagan was in his 1st term as California Governor, Martin Luther King was still alive, Hippie culture was at its peak, The Ed Sullivan Show was running, “Thoroughly Modern Willie” was a box office hit, “I’m a Believer” by The Monkees was #1 on the Billboard 100, and the Beatles were still together. That’s all, folks...
Speaking of the Beatles, the last time the Leafs won the Cup in May of '67, the album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band hadn't been released yet until the following month.
@@sjdrifter72 good lord, the Leafs are just… embarrassing xD
Also, last time the Leafs won a cup, the Dominion Centre (now known as TD Bank Tower) was the tallest building in the city by a wide margin. Toronto had practically no skyline and the CN Tower wasn't even an idea in someone's head yet.
We need a new video to capture the latest gut-wrenching loss to Boston in a series in which Tavares had 1 goal and 1 assist in 7 games and Jeremy Swayman, instead of whom the Leafs drafted the immortal Ian Scott at #110 before the Bruins took him at #111 in the 2017 draft, almost singlehandedly won the series with a .950 save percentage.
Can we get that video, please?
