Maple Leaf Moment

An instance where a sports team has an almost unbeatable lead, yet blows that lead and loses in an immense comeback by the opponent. Referencing the 1st round of the Stanley Cup playoffs in 2013, game 7, when the Toronto Maple Leafs blew a 4-1 lead with 11 minutes left in the game to the Boston Bruins, eventually losing the game in overtime.
The Atlanta Falcons were up by 25 points, and lost the Super Bowl to the Patriots? Talk about a Maple Leaf moment

Certified Maple Leaf Moment 

When you've been going hard all year, only to fuck it up miles away from the finish line
Watching my daughter give up the winning goal in the 1st round playoff - game 7 to be exact, was a certified maple leaf moment for our family, filled with disappointment and frustration.
