Fans Are Roasting The Leafs To Cope With Their Sadness About Last Night’s Loss (VIDEOS)
"They're called the Leafs because they fall at the end of the season."
It looks like the Toronto Maple Leafs cannot get rid of that Game 7 curse. Despite the unwavering loyalty of their devoted fans, Toronto's NHL team hasn't moved past the first round of the playoffs since 2004 — after last night, though, it's clear that even Leafs fans have their limits.
Many fans took to social media to cope with the pain of the Game 7 loss, sharing their emotional reactions and roasting the team with painfully accurate jokes.
One fan didn't waste time with jokes and went straight for the jersey burn.
