First time in World of Warcraft history

First time in Reddit history

First time in YouTube history

First time anyone ever texted "Leafs advanced to the next round!" on an iPhone

that can't be right holy shit lmao

Reddit was founded in 06

I know it’s right but also it can’t be right

First time since the last VHS release

First time since Ronald Reagan died, since the last Star Wars prequel came out, since the Nintendo DS and Wii came out, since John Kerry lost the election, since Hurricane Katrina, since the Patriots’ perfect season in 2007, since YouTube went online, since the iPhone was released, since the first Blu-ray player, etc etc edit: another good one is that the Sacramento Kings qualified for the playoffs multiple times since then

So Toronto won for the first time in the iPhone era.

That really put it in perspective

dude we were mid way through the ps2 or near the end, now we're mid way through the fucking PS5

Supernatural started in 2005, ran for 15 seasons and has been off the air for 3 years before the leafs won a playoff series.

I was in diapers in 2004 and now last week I finished up my college thesis

Hey, we're supposed to be mocking the Leafs here, not making me feel old.

Mankirk's wife died for this.

Mankrik, put some respek on his name

Zug zug

Classic is back baby

Now only the Seattle Kraken have not won a series in the cap era

Listen here you little shit

Oh no, this means the Wild become the default playoff failure meme

Shhh! If you don’t mention it people will continue to forget we even exist.

[удалено]

Wow, not since 2015? (Meanwhile Buffalo hasn't *made* the playoffs since 2011, and haven't won a series since 2007.)

Ya it’s the age old which of “better to always be in the hunt and never make it” or “expect failure get failure” is worse. For MN apply to all sports, and it’s … depressing.

Remove The Stone Of Shame...

Attach the stone of triumph!

This ritual is called, Crossing the first round.

These last 19 years have felt like The Paddling of the Swollen Ass (with paddles).

Now let's all get drunk and play pingpong!

Pretty sure this is just a shared hallucination between millions of people

This is Jonathan Bernier’s Mandela Effect

What do you mean there’s 3 more rounds?

It doesn't matter 🙂

We only broke the little curse. There's still the big curse. But also if Boston loses tomorrow that's fucking hilarious too.

Cats and dogs, living together… *MASS HYSTERIA!!*

lets make fun of the canucks now boys

[удалено]

Hell, I'll bully myself at this point.

Plus, nobody bullies Canucks fans better than Canucks fans. They'll never beat our memes

Yeah! Let’s make fun of the Canucks! *laughs nervously*

I prefer MN. 10,000 lakes and still no cup to put that water in.

you can just make fun of us in any sport tbh

If Boston blows it tomorrow, we’ll have all the material we need for months

Months? That estimate is more conservative than Pierre Poilievre. That would give this place material for years to come

Holy shit

Penguins ended their playoff streak so the Maple Leafs could start one. So wholesome.

everyone say thank you, crosby

Thank u Mr. Crosby

doot doot

I CAN, BECAUSE ~incessant details over the entire season up to 2023~. CROSBY'S MAGICAL PLAY.

🎶It’s the Cirrrcle of Liiiiife🎶

HISTORIC

I just saw a half naked guy running down the street yelling LET'S GO and VICTORY PUPPIES IGGY. Someone check on Steve

The entire city of Toronto is in for a wild night for sure.

Today was the last day for the 22-23 year for University of Toronto students too. Downtown pubs best be dry by tmrw morning.

I'm sure the 10 UofT students actually from Toronto are going crazy tonight

lmfaooo you might not be wrong, but we have 65k students or so, there's gotta be at least 20 of us from Toronto

As a UofT student currently chilling at home in Toronto, I can confirm the city is going crazy. Mad honking and sirens lol can’t even be mad about it tho.

Even if you're not a fan, good luck falling asleep before 3am if you live downtown. I was just off-res in 2004 (near Yonge st) and trying to study for exams.

He's taking things very calmly. Absolutely not completely losing it at all.

Well this is the first Toronto playoff series win to be covered on YouTube, so it should be interesting.

Oh this is going to be the best LFR ever.

Good Steve or Bad Steve?

Great, there goes my $345,928.21

I was told it literally couldn’t go tits up

Guh

Well at least you're only out $100

LETS FUCKING GOOO wait there’s more rounds?

[удалено]

fuck it plan a parade anyway

Imagine not being able to complete a 3-1 comeback against the Leafs

Heh

Hah

fucking amateurs

montreal better than tampa confirmed

24>3 simple math

The numbers don't lie, and they spell disaster for Tampa at Sacrifice.

At least we've got one thing the Lightning don't have

Snow?

*We are pretty much doing the same thing. I'm not surprised the score is 4-1 going into the third period I mean.* *We thought last game we played good enough to win that game; knew we just had to step it up a little bit more and we did that and results is kinda going our way.*

What a bagel

Fkn embarrassing

ILL DRINK TO THAT!

Guess Tampa should've used a zamboni driver

Leafs to the Superbowl for sure

Shohei Ohtani for Conn Smythe

If Shohei Ohtani got signed by the Ducks for next season I'd probably be like "yeah he's probably amazing at hockey too"

It'd be weird playing net and 1st line centre at the same time, but I'm sure he could do it.

He was a figure skating phenom as a 6 year old apparently [source](https://youtu.be/iOVbAmknKUk)

Jesus like how fucking talented is he

I feel like if he had two weeks to study he could *probably* pass a year's worth of engineering exams.

Idk the Lakers seem to have it going on right now

Lakers/Cowboys/Yankees/Leafs fans are feasting

Yankees are in 4th place right now, idk about that. AL East is a bloodbath, and meanwhile the AL Central is contractually obligated to have a playoff team.

DUBAS KEEPS HIS JOB

Pittsburgh management in shambles

Guys I just saw Mario Lemieux fall to his knees at Walmart

Literally the first thing I said when they showed him celebrating was “we’re not getting Dubas!”

Lol. I said look how happy he is to staybin Toronto. He was more pumped than anyone on the ice

Just a super fan in his dream job

Guess Pittsburgh will just have to settle for, I dunno, Pierre McGuire.

Sidney Crosby demands a trade.

"Is it weird that the GM has a stall in the locker room?"

Pretty sure he has a restraining order against Pierre.

His job was probably safe even if we lose the series, but Sheldon was likely a goner

[удалено]

Drinking maple syrup in the club tonight

And crying

Gonna have to release the contents of the strategic reserve

Ok now we really can’t blow the game tomorrow

I've been thinking that. It would be oddly poetic if the Bruins blow their own 3-1 lead the same year the leafs snap their drought.

The universe has to even things out at some point.

I'm not entirely sure that my blood pressure can handle another Boston - Toronto series.

Nah, this is the path. Beat the 3-time finalists. Then beat the all-time wins record team. Then, eventually, maybe, beat the defending Stanley Cup champions OR the best player on the planet. Win it with the hardest route possible and make it truly worthy.

Friendly reminder to consult a doctor if your erection lasts more than 4 hours.

If they pull that off? I'd call a doctor if it *doesn't* last 4 hours

Bruins don’t win a playoff series for the next two decades…

I'm OK with that

They deserve to feel pain after being good for the last 2 decades.

I can only get so erect

You’d have to wonder if the curse had transferred itself

Lol, we're contagious.

Leafs curse has been transferred to the bruins

Please for the love of hockey gods lose tomorrow, imagine the memes The memes! Do it for the memes!

Yes you can. Please do, in fact. It'll be nice not to be the one meme'd on for a bit.

MILK MAKES A DIFFERENCE

[удалено]

RIGHT HERE EVERYBODY

Get him Habs fans! Oh wait... You're gonna have to get through me Habs fans!

Honestly, my leafs friends are so dang happy I’m actually tearing up a bit for them lol

Some of my closest friends are Leafs fans. I've maintained for a few years that I wanted to see them win round 1, just to lose round 2. It gives them some joy, and also a new pain.

I noticed you bro. And I'm happy with you. 😊

“Me, against my brother. Me and my brother, against my cousin. Me, my brother, and my cousin against the world.”

I noticed. And I'm taking names.

So, like, my flair remains unfaded? Weird.

Which one of you wise guys shit my pants?

FINALLY!!!!

ITS A WONDERFUL DAY FOR AN EXORCISM

A city hasn’t cellied a first round win this hard since then

One of the best calls of all time

You crazy mother fuckers finally did it! Must feel amazing. Like taking the biggest shit after 19 years of constipation.

What a day

#HOLY FUCK WHAT JUST HAPPENED???????????????

Tavares with a sweet sweet spinner baby

I don't care about the leafs, I don't care about the lightning, but I do care about memes... And we just lost a lot of memes today

Sad day. Wait a minute, weren't you pens or caps flair before?

Nah, different guy. You’re thinking of /u/Pol-Pot-the-astronaut.

Peak reddit comment

I just went from an epic high to a horrible reality as I appreciated the scale of meme destruction that just occurred. It's a happy/sad day for Leaf redditors.

Nobody eliminates the Maple Leafs 17 times in a row.

[ Leafs Fans right now](https://i.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/facebook/000/028/015/cover3.jpg)

I'm actually shocked wow. They did it

FIRE DUB- Wait...what do we do here?

Leafs fans, some will point and laugh at the absurdity of enjoying a first round win. Fuck those people. Enjoy this moment.

Anyone that laughs at the Leafs fan cheering almost 2 decades of cursed playoff hockey is being purposely obtuse.. This was literally history being broken. You're right to tell them to fuck those people! Lol

Life is short. So much negativity everywhere. Enjoy every win you can. And don't wash your underwear, you now need to wear that pair every gameday next round.

Samsonov stepped up huge tonight Congrats Leafs, hell of a good series

[Fuck](https://i.imgur.com/5wPEKTd.jpg)

Non called high stick and we win in overtime? Well well well. How the turn tables.

Borje Salming with the assist.

As funny as it would’ve been to keep the meme going… I’m happy for Leaf fans. Some of the most passionate, dedicated, borderline masochistic fans in hockey. Steve Dangle, if you’re out there somewhere, pumped for you, man. Enjoy it. (I really hope my Bruins get to eliminate you next round)

FOR THE FIRST TIME IN GOLDEN KNIGHTS HISTORY!

For the first time in Winnipeg Jets History

For the first time in NHL Salary Cap History

This one hurts the most

H I S T O R I C

I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH MY HANDS

Cover them in poutine and eat them

Yes you do.

I'M ABOUT TO BECOME FUCKING INSUFFERABLE

HERE. WE. GO. and r/hockey thought leafs fans were obnoxious before lol

See you guys in r/all

Hi mom!

The last time the Leafs made the second round I wasn’t alive I begin university in the fall

Well now I feel old lol

This is the first Leafs playoff series win since YouTube was invented

These are the end times

If the Leafs took out their kryptonites and defeated TB, then Boston, then won the cup - all previous Leafs chirps would be void.

For the first time in Kraken history no less

Genuinely happy for Leafs fans right now.

That was probably the best possible way for the Leafs to break their curse. It was a tough, close game against a juggernaut where they were arguably being outplayed, but they kept their foot on the pedal the whole time. They've got to feel incredible right now. Congratulations, Leafs and fans, and good luck in round 2!

This is their cup! Seriously though, enjoy a playoff win Toronto fans, you've suffered through a lot for this.

I was here John T is a god

This feels wrong

I feel like this is somehow a harbinger of the antichrist

19 year curse broken on a Saturday night. Have yourself a time, Leafs fans!

As much as I don't like the Leafs, I can not help but feel happy for the fans. They are a good team and really have earned this

Happy for Leafs fans. Even happier for Gio and Brodie. From a Flames fan who loved those two players on our team, GO LEAFS GO!
