The stars took to social media to celebrate Toronto's win over the Tampa Bay Lightning, which gave the Leafs their first playoff series victory since 2004
It took six games for the Leafs to finish off the Lightning, who had stormed back from a 3-1 series deficit Thursday to pull within a game of tying it up. But a determined Toronto squad battled it out until the end, when the team captain became the new playoff hero.
While the game was held in Tampa Bay, thousands of Leafs fans gathered outside Scotiabank Arena in Toronto to watch the game unfold on a massive outdoor screen. The tense crowd immediately broke into cheers when the overtime winner went in. The hashtag #TheyDidIt also trended on Twitter, with fans expressing their relief — and elation — that Toronto had finally ended their string of consecutive playoff losses.
