Fans of the Toronto Maple Leafs everywhere were expecting to return home to Toronto with their series against the rival Tampa Bay Lightning tied at two games apiece after the Bolts jumped out to a 4-1 lead in the second period that they maintained halfway through the game's final frame.
However, by the time that it was all said and done, the Maple Leafs put together a truly unbelievably comeback and captured their second overtime victory in a row over an absolutely stunned Lightning team, seizing a 3-1 series stranglehold ahead of Thursday's Game 5 back at Scotiabank Arena.
As usual, television broadcast cameras would often pan to the throng of Leafs fans celebrating the win outside of Scotiabank Arena in the area known as Maple Leafs Square, but it was one fan who was in Amalie Arena who went viral for his reaction to the win.
Take a look for yourself and tell us that's not the collective feeling of Leafs Nation right now:
You think he's fired up or what?
The series isn't over yet, and the Leafs know they'll be facing a desperate Lightning team on Thursday night. They're also well aware of the history of their own playoff letdowns, including blowing a 3-1 series lead over the Montreal Canadiens two years ago.
But for now, the Leafs are in prime position to advance for the first time since 2004, and fans have every right to feel excited - especially after two straight comeback overtime wins!
