Blowing a three-goal lead in the third period of Game 7 is the high point for the last decade of Leafs hockey … Too soon, sorry.

Treasure the moment. Canadians feel sorry for a Toronto loss in sports. Doesn’t happen often. But no fans deserve THAT. OK, maybe Vancouver

Heartbreak for Leafs fans but gotta feel good about future. They now know they have legit No. 1 goalie. Reimer was mostly brilliant. #leafs

Assume Tim Leiweke, the new CEO of Maple Leafs Sports, is counting the millions the organization lost in a matter of minutes tonight.

2 things ring true. Proven by these 2 teams. You are never out of a series. You are never out of a game.

Phaneuf: we had them in a hole they shouldn’t have been able to get out of. Definitely the worse loss of my pro career.

When Chris Hadfield lands and learns that the Leafs lost, he’ll probably hop on the next shuttle back to space.

I haven’t seen a collapse like the Leafs since Shooter McGavin at the 96′ Tour Championship.

This time last year, the Leafs becoming this competitive would have sent this city into paroxysms of joy. Don’t forget that.

Kadri: I don’t think many of us are going to sleep tonight

Kind of sinking in now. That’s the worst collapse or best comeback I’ve ever seen.

Kudos to Phil Kessel, first guy waiting in the dressing room to face the media when they opened the door.
