Did you cry

[leafs in five]

i did the day after, when my thoughts turned to my dad and how i wished i could have watched it at home with him. at this point i was kind of half-laughing as well, imagining the calibre of profanity that would have been streaming from the TV room. makes me think of the line from christmas story, "in the heat of battle my father wove a tapestry of obscenities that as far as we know is still hanging in space over Lake Michigan"

 

[Kessely Snipes]

Didn't cry, basically speechless though.

 

[I Am The Stig]

Nah I didn't cry, that's reserved for when the Leafs win the cup. But I sat there pretty much in shock and silence as Boston celebrated. I almost also threw up.

 

[Espher]

Nope. Had a bad feeling that the Bruins would come back the moment Horton made it 4-2. And as the minutes ticked by, I was preparing myself mentally for the fact that a collapse was most definitely possible. When they tied it, I was still shocked for a moment, but by then, I wasn't surprised. During the intermission before overtime, I prepared myself mentally for the fact that this series was over. Call me pessimistic, but you don't come back from the emotional cripple of blowing a 4-1 lead in the last 10 minutes of a game 7. This team was done and I knew it. When Bergeron scored the winner, it was more of a "meh" reaction for me.

Pretty much exactly how I felt.

The winner went in, I dropped a short f-bomb, and immediately went to shave off the playoff beard.

Cry: No

Break tv remote when Boston tied it: Yes

 

[Larcos_Unal]

empty feeling in my chest, like my heart was sucked out.

turning 30 in about 8 weeks.
I don't cry during movies, books, and really sad sad events in the news.

I do cry during sporting events. (I am a blubbering idiot during the Olympics).

My team who consistently loves to put me through an emotional rollercoaster did a huge number on my emotions last night. I am invested in this team 100 percent, and so yeah, it was a crying moment to be sure.

I don't know why you need perspective that something that was right there, was snatched away, regardless if it was a pro sporting event or not.

Those are things I do tear up at. Tim Bosma's wife speaking to the media is a prime example of something that is actually sad. The Maple Leafs blowing a three goal lead is just sports; just a lark to distract us all from the actually upsetting news on this planet.

 

[Diatomic]

Leafs fans don't cry,
Thats for Habs fans.

 

[LeafsandSharksfan]

No, I felt more like I'd just been punched in the stomach

 

[Tak7]

Yes, I did.

Was doing fine at Maple Leaf Square.

Then they showed the shot of Reimer lying on the ice with his head down, and I started to get a bit choked up.

I turned around to stop watching, and behind me was this guy who was on the ground crying into his Leafs jersey.

That was that - couldn't hold onto it any more. Helped him up, embraced him, and a few tears came down myself.

 

[Nylanderthal]

At some point after the Leafs lost in overtime did you cry out of disappointment/heartbreak

Haha haha right after I changed my tampon!! Are you serious? Cry? There's no crying in sports (unless you win or break a limb) especially seeing as I had no part of that embarrassing performance no, I didn't. I just reinforced my thoughts on that bum of a goalie & moron of a captain we have.

No crying in sports? If a team goes to Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals and comes up short, you're gonna sit there and tell them to "change their tampons" if they're crying?

Easy there, chief.

Be a man, lose with grace. I absolutely would LOL at that player for ever.

 

[Space Coyote]

Didn't cry but was in shock. After Naz scored to make it 4-1, flipped over to the Capitals v Rangers game watched it for a bit and stepped out to fill up my car. Came back and saw 4-4 end of 3rd. I was like WTF? then saw the highlights of the final minutes of the 3rd had the feeling the Leafs would choke on from here and lose it in OT and they did. Reimer played well but failed when it really mattered, that 3rd goal should never had happened.

This evening we should have been getting ready for the Rangers at the ACC. I think Leafs had a good chance to make to the Conference finals I guess it was not to be

"Be a man" -

Go through every Olympic finals, World Juniors finals, every SCF finals and look at the defeated teams players. Many of them are crying. But hey - tell them to "be a man" when they're the ones on the ice experiecing it.

 

[best of 7]

............Big Boys don't cry

 

[palmateer67]

I'm starting to feel better. Just starting. Here's a good blog reflecting on moving past the collapse: http://mcphedranbadside.com/

You would cry if you broke a limb LOL

Be a man

 

[Billy6]

No, however if it had been game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals that would likely be a different story.

 

[Ed Belfour]

Didn't cry, it wasn't a sad loss in that way. I was angry more than anything. Angry and numb.

 

[GordieHoweHatTrick]

Shocked and appalled is a good way to describe it

[Bomber0104]

The pressure and momentum really took a turn in the third for the Bruins but I still expected our team to hang on.

Felt awful...worse than getting dumped
