Fans threw beers at Maple Leafs bench as things turned ugly during Game 7 disaster
NY Post
The Toronto Maple Leafs lost a seventh consecutive Game 7, and it got ugly on the ice after getting blown out at home.
A report from Sportsnet said one fan threw a beer at the Leafs’ bench while longtime right winger Mitch Marner had to dodge a thrown jersey late in the third period of an embarrassing 6-1 defeat.
Toronto fans also left the arena tailgate in complete disarray, filled with trash and garbage following the loss.
With 10 minutes left in the third period, fans also began throwing home team jerseys onto the ice in disgust as the Panthers advanced to the Eastern Conference finals, where they will face the Carolina Hurricanes.
The Maple Leafs’ poor performance is just the latest chapter of playoff pain in Toronto, where the team is centered around Marner, Auston Matthews, William Nylander and ex-Islander John Tavares.
Since Tavares came to the Maple Leafs in 2018, the team is 0-5 in Game 7s.
