Twitter Goes Nuts After Maple Leafs Blow 5-1 Lead In Loss To Senators

Classic, Maple Leafs

The Toronto Maple Leafs blowing leads is a tale as old as time.

The next installment of that tale was written Monday night when Toronto welcomed the Ottawa Senators to Scotiabank Arena.

The Maple Leafs jumped out to a 5-1 lead and appeared to be en route to win No. 12, but the Senators scored three goals in the third to send the game to overtime.

The Senators ended up winning the game. And, naturally, Twitter had plenty to say.

I can’t imagine what it’s like to be the @MapleLeafs goalie who gives up a 4 goal lead.......
3 maybe, but not 4. #NoFun

Always a good day when you beat the Toronto Maple Leafs. Even better when they blow a 4 goal lead.

Look, we're deep into the pandemic in the midst of an unrelenting polar vortex.

But the Maple Leafs just blew a 5-1 lead to the Ottawa Senators, so it's not all bad.
