It’s time to joyfully reflect on the Toronto Maple Leafs 2016-17 season with videos.

I’ve carefully narrowed down my top five Toronto Maple Leafs moments from the 2016-17 season.

And I did say with videos, so expect to not only read about my favorite moments but to see and relive them again.

I’m hoping that most of you will be able to agree with this list, but if you don’t, you’re more than welcome to interact by commenting with your own variation of your top five.

I always enjoy reading your comments and replying, so be sure to get in on that.

Anyways, back to what’s important.

The 2016-17 season was the Leafs best in a long time, a season that will go down in history as the best rookie season in NHL history.

The last time the Leafs were that successful in a full 82 game season was in the 2003-04 season, ironically the last time they made the playoffs, excluding the 2012-13 shortened season.

For you long suffering Leafs fans, the ones that have been alive for most of their Stanley Cup drought, this is for you.

Actually, this is for every Leafs fan because we’ve all suffered until now.

Even at 22 years old, I remember when the Leafs were pretty decent, but never when they were this good.

That being said, let’s dive right into this, starting with number five.
