Toronto GM Kyle Dubas goes crazy after Maple Leafs break playoff losing streak

The Toronto Maple Leafs have finally done it.

The Leafs beat the Tampa Bay Lightning 2-1 in overtime on Saturday night to win their Eastern Conference first-round playoff series in six games. John Tavares got credit for the goal, which went off a skate and got past Andrei Vasilevskiy.

GAME WINNER!

The victory gave the Leafs their first playoff series win since 2004.

It was a long time coming for Toronto fans, who went nuts. Perhaps nobody conveyed the elation better than Leafs GM Kyle Dubas.
