The Toronto Maple Leafs have once again begun their quest to make it out of the first round of the NHL playoffs for the first time since 2004, though it’s off to a rocky start.
For the second year in a row, the Leafs are squaring off against the Tampa Bay Lightning, who blew them out 7-3 in the first game. To make matters worse, winger Michael Bunting will have a hearing today for an illegal check to the head against the Lightning’s Erik Cernak.
Even though it’s a best-of-seven series, it was deja vu in the comments as the Leafs again looked overmatched by the Lightning.
One Twitter user shared their frustration with an appropriate Letterkenny GIF.
In an all-caps tweet, the Iron Sheik vented his anger toward the Leafs.
Another user compared the ridicule the New York Knicks receive for their lack of finals appearances to the Leafs, who haven’t appeared won in anything since 1967.
One Leafs fan shared a meme that said he’s better off not speaking to avoid getting in trouble.
Another fan uploaded an altered picture of Ben Affleck smoking a cigarette to have him wearing a Leafs jersey.
As sports betting becomes more popular, a Leafs fan was happy to share that he had wagered on the Lightning winning the series, showing his faith in the Leafs.
The Leafs are set to play Game 2 tomorrow night in Toronto.
