It was an exciting game. I'm not a fan of the gimmicky 3on3 OT or the shootout, but a win is a win. I discovered something tonight you probably already know. We had seats on the blue line where the Islanders were defending the goal for two periods. My buddy and I were smack in the middle of a sea of Maple Leaf jerseys. I couldn't believe it. I strike up a conversation with the guy next to me asking if he came down on a bus for the game. He tells me he lives near me. He told me that NY is filled with Maple Leaf fans. I was surprised. I guess the Leafs are like the Yankees of hockey without the championships?
I was not aware of the Leafs Nation in NY. I know Leafs fans travel well. They go to a lot of road games but I didn't expect them to be like the Yankees of hockey.
So I'm in the parking lot and this clown in a Tavares Maple Leafs jersey parks right next to me. I had to remind myself that I'm a dignified old man well past the age of keying car door panels.
Hahahaha!! Good luck lately the islanders have been bugging me. They just scream boring hockey
3-1 Leafs 🫡
Leafs are playing well recently. Good time for that to end.
I assume you're predicting a Tavares EN to close things out?
haha would be a nice touch!
It's in the bag for the Isles. Leafs suck.
Watch him score his 1000th point while I'm watching in person.
Just more fuel for your grudge.

A shame you had to suffer through that tying goal and Tavares celebration but the OT winner was a beautiful goal. See, I watch hockey.

Edit: the worst part: the car has New York plates
