TORONTO -- Dismay mingled with disbelief in Toronto late Monday night as Maple Leaf fans watched their team suffer a stomach-churning Game 7 loss to the Boston Bruins, dashing any dreams of getting closer to the Stanley Cup. Initial excitement turned to anguish as a raucous crowd watching the game on a giant screen outside Air Canada Centre saw their team let a solid lead slip away during the final minutes of the third period only to be beaten by the Bruins 5-4 in overtime. Many in the sea of blue and white jerseys packed into Maple Leaf Square in downtown Toronto appeared utterly deflated at the final buzzer in Boston which marked the crushing end of the Leafs first Game 7 since 2004. "This is just unacceptable to me," said 18-year-old Jake Roulston. "Ive waiting half my life for this game, nine years, for this game, and they blew it, in Game 7. I mean, that hurts." James Park, who had been cheering on the Leafs until the very end, couldnt believe the games incredible turnaround. "This is messed up, we were up 4-1. We lost it all," he said. "Disappointed millions, the whole city. But we brought a fight, well be back next year." That dogged faith in the team, despite the rollercoaster of emotions it had subjected fans to on Monday night, rose above the disquiet as the crowd shuffled home. "Theres no point in getting angry," said Nicole Cheetham, who had painted a miniature of the teams logo on her face. "The Leafs are a young team and I hope they can get them next year. Im still a beLeafer." In analysing the loss, some gave credit to the Bruins for their ability to come back from a three-goal deficit. "Bostons a good team," admitted Randy Bains, as he held up a Maple Leaf flag. "But you know what, the boys put in a good effort... and I guarantee, four years, weve got the cup." Indeed, for some, despite the disappointment, there was simply no taming of Maple Leaf pride. "Blue and white in my veins. Pure blue and white," yelled Justin Allen, who, in addition to his Leafs jersey, had painted his face in his teams colours and was also sporting a blue and white wig. "Its the history, you have no choice, you gotta believe, you have to." Harman Singh, who donned a bright blue spandex body suit which enveloped him from head to toe, continued to determinedly wave his Maple Leafs flag and cheer on his team through his megaphone long after most of the crowd had gone home. "After nine years we came a long way and all I got to say is that were going to be in the same spot next year same time but were going to take it this time for sure," said the 20-year-old. "Leafs fans are known to be the number one fans in the world. Regardless if you win or not, were still a Leafs fan no matter what." Swell Water Bottle Sale Australia .C.
