Happy Crushing Leafs Dreams Anniversary Bruins Fans!

[sarge88]

I was sat on the couch. No one else was home. Leafs made it 4-1. My heart sank.

My buddy (a Blues fan) texted me saying it looks like the Bruins are done. I replied that it appears to be so.

Then Horton scored. I was like "Oh" but didn't even celebrate the goal. Still seated.

Then Lucic scored. And I cheered and jumped out of my seat. I was like Let's Go!!!! Holy Smokes they are still alive!

I went and stood behind the couch. Couldn't sit down.

I had this low ceiling made of industrial-like ceiling tile. When Bergeron scored to tie it up, I nearly put my head through the ceiling tile.

Then I knew it was over. The Leafs were finish. OT was simply a matter of time before the Bruins would finish them off.

Lucic was an absolute beast during that comeback run. The Leafs D-men had no answer for Lucic on a rampage.

When Looch scored and looked up at the scoreboard to see how much time was left and with that intense look on his face said...

LFG, I knew they were going to tie it up.

How many guys are still around from that game?

Bergeron
Marchand
Krejci
Rask
.....

..............

I must be missing someone? *Looks up box score* Nope, that's it. Four guys. Wow!

Kampfer?

I had family members who I know had no interest in hockey calling and texting me after that game because they know I leapt through the roof. That one made up for all the tears I shed as a kid watching the B'S lose one Canadiens series after another. Actually Game 7 against Montreal helped out with that too!

Kampfer?

He might have been on the team, but he didn't play in that game:

I broke my center table as I jumped up and down on it when Bergeron scored.

I went to goodwill the next day with great big grin on my face and found a replacement for 5 bucks that i still use today.

On today of all days, they missed the perfect opportunity to use Bergy's OT goal in connection with the Toro leaf blower ad.

Do better, Bruins.

Oh. My. God. I’m so dense. After 7 years, NOW I get it...

Okay, wait, I was wrong, it’s a weed whacker, I think. It’s just plain weirdness.

Legit the best gif to come out of that series save for Chara coming out from behind the tree

That energy was coming through the TV I swear. It's amazing to me how many Bruins fans who watch that game knew it was over the second the clock hit zero in the 3rd period and the Leafs had no chance in OT, none whatsoever.

I know I felt that way.

Just like when it went from 28-3 to 28-28. Hell everyone knew there was no way we were losing the coin toss lol

The marathon bombing happened a month earlier. I worked 1 1/2 blocks away so you couldn't escape any of it for weeks and it took its toll. All good now tho

I am so sorry you had to go through all of that, glad you are all good now.

One of the greatest games in Bruin history took place 5/13/2013:

OMG such a good day. I still remember the depressed dejected Leaf fans walking out of our local sports bar Cats Cabose. Way too funny.

I'm no expert but can anyone find the game thread?

I'm no expert but can anyone find the game thread?

Here you go GDT: - GAME 7 - (4) Boston Bruins vs (5) Toronto Maple Leafs - 7PM - CNBC, NESN, CBC, RDS

EDIT: Here is part II: GDT: - GAME 7 - (4) Boston Bruins vs (5) Toronto Maple Leafs II

Here is the PGT: Post-Game Talk: - The Bruins Rule - Comeback for the ages! Bruins win 5-4!

Unfortunately it appear part III has been wiped from hfboards, which is the part where the comeback starts.

I don't even know what his means. 28-3? What?

My kids were young at the time . Had zero interest in hockey. When the Bruins made it 4 - 2 , I told them "watch this , your about to watch the greatest comeback of all time" so now the Bruins make it 4-3 . So to be a Richard , I say "OK kids bedtime". All of a sudden they were the greatest hockey fans of all time. So I let them stay up . Boom 4-4 , they're not fooling me , they still have zero interest in hockey , all they want is to stay up. When the Bruins won it in OT you could see they were genuinely pumped. I was hoping it would stick but no luck. Little pricks still have no interest in hockey. I don't know where I went wrong , I just got broken kids .

From that day forward , when ever bed time rolled around and there was a game on they were interested in hockey again. Can we stay up dad? GTFO, go to bed you little dicks.

That’s how hockey fans are minted. Getting to stay up.

Largest score deficit of Superbowl LI, mid 3rd quarter, before the greatest comeback in Superbowl history.

Still remember where I was when I was watching. Still remember the unbelievable depression I was in at 4-1... still remember the insane jubilation after each of Bergy's goals... and EVERY single time I watch these clips I get massive goosebumps.

For me it's Lucic's "That's one" moment that made me stop and ask myself, huh, can they? Yes, yes they can and did. It was hilariously awesome

This may be my favorite story thus far... however... let's upgrade that coffee table

 

[pgm16]

I was chatting with my nephew on FB, he is a Leafs fan. I threw in the towel at 4-1. When Horton scored, he started to become nervous, when Lucic scored, he said talk later Uncle Paul.....

 

[McGarnagle]

I remember being on another board talking about the game in the mid-3rd period when it was 4-2 and the Bruins looked listless, and I just made some offhanded comment about how they'd make get to within 1 but then fall just short, and I literally made some snarky comment about how "Lucic will score some meaningless goal with 1:22 left so we lose by 1". Then Lucic did score with exactly 1:22 left, so I was half-right
