R1G7: Leafs @ Bruins - May 13th, 7:00pm - CBC, TSN 1050

And while I was typing that, the series ends. Colossal choke. I am afraid that is all we are going to hear about all summer long from the media and fans of other teams. This was the worst way they could have gone out.

Yep it doesn't matter that the Leafs got this far, with that 4-1 lead blown the choke is all people are going to cling to

Tell them all to wank off. 

The team is young.  As the song says, you gotta lose to know how to win.
 
I'm surprised the leafs took it to 7 to be honest, but having them melt down completely in the 3rd is just...I dunno....I find it funny now, it's like what could we have expected it's Boston...no hockey gods on our side...
 
We gained some respect. This was a young team and nerves may have gotten the best of them. But we kicked them hard! Game 7...OT! Heck we almost had it in the bag. better then the sweep I was fearing
 
Two more games than I thought they were gonna get. Tonight is disappointing. Very disappointing. The series as a whole, though? That's a different story.

No it really isn't. They could've been swept. They could've gone out a la Montreal in 5. They could have gone out a lot of ways.

Stretching it to game 7 against a heavily favoured team, and nearly winning it all is far from "the worst way they could've gone out".
 
Most epic fail of all time. I've ever seen. In the 27 year history i've been watching this team, that is the worst meltdown. Bar none.

I think im done for several years.
 
although we did better than I expected, we'll be the laughing stock for many other NHL fans...I can't wait for all the jokes about the meltdown..
 
Good on them for fighting to OT of Game 7.  That was a huge choke-job though.

Reimer's rebound control cost the Leafs big time.  That and being unable to win any faceoffs.
 
well, it was fun, most "experts" had the Leafs winning only 2 games at best.

Sure blow up a 4-1 lead with 11 to go in the 3rd is no fun. But this is a very young team that got as far as they did, and it sucks, but I do bet that this will make the youngsters better for next year.
