Maple Leafs fans react to NHL playoff elimination: "Like getting your heart ripped out"

CA, 13 May 2023
Toronto Maple Leafs are waking up with disappointment this weekend after the hockey team was eliminated from the NHL playoffs on Friday night in a 3-2 loss to the Florida Panthers in overtime.

"It's like getting your heart ripped out, but it happens every single year and you know it's about to happen. It's always on the verge of happening. But you have this hope that everything's going to work out. And every single year it never, ever, ever, ever, ever does!" one Leafs fan said.

Meanwhile, the Edmonton Oilers are on the brink of elimination with their own Game 5 loss on Friday to the Golden Knights.

The Leafs broke the curse and escaped the opening round for the first time in nearly 20 years. But a quick round two exit has opened up many questions about the team's future.
