As a habs fan, CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! Im so proud of Toronto for the endless fight they've put up this year. Extremely well deserved and leafs fans are probably the most dedicated fans in the world
As a Leaf fan, I don't want your charity. Go enjoy the draft, you're gonna need it.
No more mr.nice guy, leaf fans. Remember that.
Thanks, we’ve been through a lot. It’s really nice
@@mattm6580 be nice and enjoy the moment
@@mattm6580You’re definitely not a Leafs fan
@ GiRyffe....I accept your congratulations and thank you.❤
Canuck fan here. Congratulations to the leafs...It's been a long time coming and the fans deserve it regardless of what happens in the next round! Curse has been broken.
That’s really kind lol
So so proud, congratulations Toronto!
Happy for the Leaf fans, and Canadian fans in general. - random Blues fan.
I'd like to say thank you to other team's fans, for thanking us leafs fans its been a very long time for us to feel this moment inside and celebrate it as true fans, WAY TO GO LEAFS, this feels amazing inside
Amen.
Congrats from a jets fan whose future is likely negative.
😂😂😂
YES!!!! YES YES YES!!!! WHAT A WAY TORONTO!!!! SO HAPPY FOR YOU GUYS!!!! WHAT A WAY TO WIN THE SERIES IN OT!!!! (Rangers fan)
I'm sure you're thrilled
Finally!! I’ve waited 19 years to see them win a series again! Let’s keep it rolling! Go leafs go!!!!!
☠️☠️
My heartiest congratulations from an Oilers fan!! You guys deserve this after so many years of frustration and heartbreak! Best of luck in Round 2, Leafs🙂
We will see you in the finals 😉
@@bcuzz109 That would be amazing!!😁
@@bcuzz109🤡🤡 this is literally why nobody likes leafs fans...maybe you guys should just be quite for once and humble and just appreciate the win. Win one playoff series and now all of a sudden you're talking about the finals lmfao.
Always love the Toronto fans! So passionate they love their teams no matter what!
You think they love the team now?
Also, Habs fans here. Big pat on the back to Leafs fans. A well-deserved reward for all your devotion over the past 11 seasons.
Thank you.
Happy for the Leafs, from an Oilers fan. Make Canada proud in the East
This aged pretty well😂😂😂
So glad they wonnnn. Soooo welll deserved after 19 yearsss 🔥🔥🔥
Man the heart in Tavares when he scored that goal I felt the energy an emotion watching on tv
Sooo happy to see those players win. Their reactions are priceless. Matthews on the bench was awesome.
Congrats Leafs, from a Blackhawks fan ❤
I’m so happy for Dubas. He is the best gm in the league and has been putting a team out there on the ice every year and it finally paid off. If the leafs are smart they will give Dubas whatever money he wants, he is very good with asset management. Let’s go Leafs
Dubas is a good but the best gm is Yzerman
i agree, these leafs are the result of Dubas putting it all out there. Just look at his reaction. This wasnt just about a win.
Their reactions are so special man😢 they deserve this and the city of Toronto deserves this🙌🏻🙌🏻 go leafs go!!!
Congratulations leafs from
An oilers fan lets both have a great 2nd round
I was in Toronto last night, I watched the game with a gentleman who survived an aneursym bursting in his head (still dealing with anxiety and paranoia) while visiting my mother after her back surgery. My dog had just died (Rest in peace Otto, I love you) and I was broken, this guy wanted to watch the game with us and keep me from feeling alone as my uncle also had an aneurysm then died cause he hit his head while he was on blood thinners the doctor forgot to tell him to stop so my mom let him knoe before i came that i was hurting alot, we watched most of it but had to leave during the last period cause we're only allowed to be there so long. We got to the hotel and by the time the game was over all you could here and we were on the 24th floor of the Chelsea was people cheering and cars honking their horns in pride.
I have to say after having one of the worst weeks of my life it made me happy to see so many people joined together in celebration. I kind of wish I had of gone down to the street to wander around but I had to be up early and sleep didn't come easy. I made a new friend and saw what I enjoy about canada despite all the things I dislike about it. Whether or not the leafs win the cup ill remember that for a long time
Oilers fan here. Great win and great series by the Leafs. A large number of folks in the years past like to give the Leafs and their fans a hard time, but I hope every Leaf fan enjoys this, you guys deserve it and all the best moving forward :D
Good job on advancing too! I really hope for a Oilers-Leafs Finals, whichever team wins better parade that cup across the country, cause it'll be Canada's cup once again
Not even a leaf’s fan but so happy for them
I have suffered through so much for so long. I was a bright eyed 10 yr old when I was at Maple Leaf Gardens and I saw the Leafs win that cup in '67 and I got to meet Johnny Bower. One curse down, one to go. Well done Leafs.
3 OT winners in Florida!
Gotta say tampa is one hell of a team, Toronto may not have deserved to win a few of these games but they definitely had the heart to pull it off!! GLG
Sometimes a good team will win a game that they didn't deserve to win. They find a way.
As a Bruins fan, I have to give where credit is due. Congratulations, leaf fans.
I will admit, if we do see you in the next round, I would be concerned. To get the win over Tampa's powerhouse is very impressive. We're (embarrassingly) struggling against a damn wild card team rn so I can't lie... I am a little jealous that you guys knocked tampa in 6😅
Congrats to all you pesky Leaf fans on breaking the 19 year - round 2 curse!
You won a few cups in the last decade or so I think you'll be alright if you get knocked out one year. But thanks for the cheers! Would love to exorcise our demons against the Bruins as well.
@@ryanj357 You mean they've lost a few cups in the last decade or so. Have only won one since the 70's.
@@killionaire6891 2 actually, 1986 and 1993
@@SaveznaRepublikaJugoslavija The Bruins only Stanley Cup since 1972 came in the 2010-11 season
Oh I thought you were referring to Montreal for some reason lol. I know that about Boston
@@killionaire6891
so so happy for the leafs!! this was such a big barrier to get over and now i'm so excited to see this team's future. a huge weight lifted off all their backs for sure.
Awesome moment here. Congrats Leafs fans. As a HABS fan, that OT goal reminded me of that goal that got us into the Stanley Cup finals over Vegas a few years ago...a great moment !
Congratulations from a kraken fan 🔵⚪️🔵🔴
Congratulations Leafs fan's I am very happy for you guys.
(leafs radio guy) "what do we do now?" That line killed me!!! 😂😂😂
Joe Bowen is the man...
From habs fan congrats leafs you didn’t steal it well deserved
Well the boys have done it, amazing!
What a moment man. It was such a huge release. Even I felt a weight off my shoulders and i've never taken a faceoff in my life. Can only imagine what those players feel. Particularly the guys that have had to deal with all the heartbreak and media shellacking every days for several years.
I can’t even believe my eyes
The excitement the happiness the thrill... Just amazing 🤩❤
This WIN is Dedicated to ALL the miserable LEAF Haters out there!! Eff all of ya!! GLG!!!
1967
Now I know who to blame if Toronto gets eliminated in the 2nd.
People like this wonder why people hate the leafs
Leaf fans don't wonder. We are used to it and we will stand by our team no matter what. Bye now!
@@politicalbandwagon4989 Leafs fans don’t care…..hating the Leafs = inferiority complex.
😂
i like the head coach a lot, he's feisty and extremely passionate, also the GM, and jason spezza of course,
🤣🤣🤣
I'm gonna watch this video so much over the next few days. I listened to it as it was 3.04am in Scotland when the goal went in! I had a massive lump in my throat at Bowen singing Happy days are here again! Those scenes from maple leaf square are incredible and I hope there are many more in this post season for the fans to enjoy!
That's awesome, bro!! Are you a Canadian in Scotland or a Scot that loves hockey?
@@bcuzz109 just a Scot who loves hockey and the Leafs dude. I've been fortunate enough to see the Leafs 3 times in Toronto but it's expensive to travel over so I mostly just keep up with the Leafs on the radio broadcasts as they're all at midnight here!
@Ryan D prices are ridiculous.
@@bcuzz109 it's like £4000 for flights, hotels and tickets for my family and that's just to stand at the very back! I watch them on TV occasionally but it's just easier to listen due to the time of day. And I kinda like Joe Bowen and Jim Ralph! We get maybe 2 or 3 games a year at matinee times that are good for Europeans to watch on TV. The only real problem with the radio is the amount of alpine credit adverts though they've disappeared in recent months 🙏
@@rydo2012 come stay at my place 😁
Way to go🎉 nice goal from the captain
The bench reaction is amazing to watch!
This reminds me of the HABS run and how the city reacted when Leckonnen scored!
As a HABS fan, go get it TO!
So proud of you congrats 🎉
Love seeing Jarnkrok let some of the OGs off the bench first. What a gem.
Beautiful performance
Habs fan, felt this way in 2021 when we made it to the finals. Im hoping for a Leafs oilers finals. Congrats!
Enjoying the comments from across the nation regardless of the home team. We all root for the under dogs and those that persevere.
Amazing performance🎉🎉🎉
hard to believe it's been 19 years. i haven't been following that close since the lockouts and strikes way back when but seriously that's a lifetime. makes me appreciate the sundin/gilmour era that much more.
The best moment of my life.
I scared my cats with my _YEAH!!_ when they scored🙀😹😭🥳🏒🥅🚨
😂
I was watching it at a care home, and I wanted to yell so loud, but if I did, the residents would go deaf😂
@@GrayNWolf they would've understood lol
@@aparks6463 Lol
Excellent win
Superb performance
LETS GOOOO
Awesome team
Incredible
They finally didi it!!!! I coun't be any happier and proud GO LEAFS GO!!!!!!
I need to see Steve dangles reaction. Omg!!!!

Sharks fan here. Congrats!! This was a long time coming, I went nuts myself lol
Everything else amazing performance players gems ⭐👏💪
🙏🏼🤯 Thank God
Congrats guys. Best of luck! - avs fan
As a habs fan, its nice to see the leafs win. the fans have been dedicated and never gave up on their team. Good luck in going further! Im rooting for you!!
Thanks man. It's weird seeing the Leafs celebrate in the playoffs. Not used to that. I really hope they can beat Florida and get to the finals.
🤣🤣🤣
Congrats!!!
- Habs Fan
Beautiful ❤️❤️❤️
And we all said Vasilevsky was invincible in potential elimination games.
Turns out Vasilevsky is as human as all of us.
GO LEAFS GO!!!
Seeing every team (including tampa) congratulate us feels like a big W even if we don't win the cup
0:20 that single frame of Johnny Toronto seriously melts my heart
Matthews at around :26 seconds too love to see it
My younger brother wasn't even born when the leafs last advanced to the 2nd round. So glad he's finally able to witness it 🙌 🙌🙌🙌🙌🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Huge congratulations to the Toronto Maple Leafs. It was a long time coming but they finally did it! - from an Oilers fan.
Toronto vs Edmonton in the Stanley Cup final is still possible!
i’m rooting for y’all in
Oilers vs Kings from a leafs fan
Fingers crossed m8
Most loyal fanbase in the NHL bar none. They deserved it.
Wdym, most people barely watch them anymore. Everyone I know who cheers for the leafs barely tuned in for this series.
@@politicalbandwagon4989....oh you're a Habs fan. No wonder. 😂
Great performance 👍🏻
0:00 I can imagine me in Maple Leafs square my reaction Tavares scoring OT Goal!!!! Congrats Johnny and Leafs moving on to the next round!!!!🏒🍁
Panthers fan here, CONGRATULATIONS! Y'all finally get the experience the joy I felt when we got the 26-year monkey off our backs last season! NOW LET'S TAKE CARE OF BOSTON! CATS IN 7
A lot of us are rooting for the Panthers. Good luck!
@@skyblue6507 😂😂😂 "we want florida" 😂😂😂
Very proud of you TML !
Not much of a hockey person but this is amazing long time coming to get to the second round of the NHL Playoffs go Toronto Maple Leafs.
Excelent performance
This is so cool
Hell ya, LETS GO LEAFS, LETS GO LEAFS, LETS GO LEAFS, 19 years we been waiting to celebrate this moment, holy s, holy s, holy s, this is awesome, this is awesome, this is awesome, thank you Toronto maple leafs, your playing like a team this year, we deserve this, we deserve this
THEY DID IT STEVE!!!!
- Bruins Fan
Congratulations
I'm not even a Leafs fan yet I am hyped for them and their fans. They are finally free from 2004 and the demons of first-round blown leads. Steve Dangle and Hot Take Hockey are free, it really is a new age in the NHL, isn't it? Leafs fans are finally free.
Easily the greatest moment ever (IMO) for Toronto since 2019. #Leafsin6 in Round 2!!!
From the hawks fan, FINALLY IM SO HAPPY FOR THE LEAFS YOU DID IT Congratulations. TAKE THAT JESSE, FROM BARDOWN, ENJOY THE LOSERS CIRCLE AND ETERNITY MISERY FOR YO JETS CRATER BOI
I’m a die hard redwings fan and knights fan for life ,and I don’t have a problem with Toronto I’m very happy for them they deserve this there a damn good team and how good they are it’s hard to believe they could never pass the first round in 19 years,so congratulations I sense this isn’t the only series you win in the Austin Matthews era .
So nice
God I love Sheldon Keefe jumping up and down~
So happy for the fans. If the Stars can’t win it I hope it’s the Leafs 💙
Beautiful to read all the comments even if most people are not Toronto fans!!!!!
congratulations
The celebration from the other teams do not compare to this. Leafs were celebrating like they won the cup. Congrats Leafs!
My Congrats, guys! You deserve that on 146%
As a leafs fan I’m so freaking happy 🎉
Finally! 🎉
Not a leafs fan!!!! At all! Habs fan here!!!! Good job!!!!! Passing the 1st round !!!!! Go Leafs !!!! And Oilers !
Very nice❤❤
After 19 long agonizing years of waiting, I finally get to see round 2 playoff hockey again for the Leafs! The last time I watched round 2, the immortal Mats Sundin was Captain with Ed Belfour between the pipes with other such names as Nik Antropov, Alexai Ponakorovsky, Bryan McCabe, Tomas Kaberle, to name a few. I can't wait for round 2 against potentially one of our all time biggest foes or a team we've never faced in the playoffs before.
😂😂😂
Even if they don't win the cup, this is a big deal, to beat Tampa demonstrates how good this team is. I am not even a leaf's fan, but I have to give it to them, they did it, I'm sure Tampa fans will be seething tho, probably talk about luck or some bs excuse lol. I am looking forward to Boston vs Toronto, that's the real test, not so much that Boston is the better team (given that they are tied with Florida atm) but more so that there is so much pressure on the leaf's that they could choke, we will see.
I think if they were going to choke it would have been in the first round, after they took the 3-1 lead and then Tampa won in Toronto. For the Leafs the monkey is off their back.
@@erikswanson5753 yeah, but if they go up against boston, idk, history could repeat itself in that way as well.
Crazy, unbelievable, incredible, WTF, is happening, it’s our time, we finally did it.
