Leafs fans throwing merchandise on ice in Buffalo

In the third period between the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Buffalo Sabres, after James Reimer lets in a goal by Zemgus Girgensons, a Leafs scarf was thrown on the ice. As the game went on, it appeared a jersey was also thrown onto the ice

Still, it must be nice for Toronto folk to just have to drive two hours and see more hockey games.

I guess they also get a decent number of leafs fans at Red Wings games as well. Although I seriously doubt that it's anywhere near the numbers that you see at First Niagara Center.

Does anyone remember when road fans did this during a game against the Lions? Wally had to pull the team from the bench and they went to the middle of the field because they were getting pelted with phones, garbage cans, etc? Brilliant.

Only a rocket scientist tosses their personal belongings away in a fit of frustration. Alcohol, I meant alcohol.

They threw ..towels! And a ...JERSEY? !!

The horror! :shock:

I wouldn't pay 5 bucks to watch the Leafs play, they are crap every year.

Dion Phaneuf has declined every year since his rookie season.

James Reimer looks like a decent goalie one night, then completely stinks it up the next night.

Also, I am willing to bet Jonathan Bernier wished he was still backing up in LA, his numbers have taken quite a hit.

What? Were they just making more room in their suitcases for all of that Sabres' merchandise they were gonna purchase?

With the kind of leadership group that's been chosen to lead the Leafs,... in Phaneuf & Kessel,..who both seem to know very little about how to model class or diplomacy anywhere - what did ya expect? Monkey see,..monkey do, I suppose.

Here's a couple of jokes that a random Leafs fan tweeted just after the game. I love good jabs at Toronto no matter who they're playing. They're probably old jokes, but they're new to me so I got a kick out of them. :lol:

Phaneuf was asked in the locker room what went wrong.

Trying to answer the question, he turned over the puck & the Sabres scored.

Frustrated Leafs fans throw their scarves on the ice.

The Leafs scarf immediately deflects a goal past Reimer.

I remember seeing quite a number of Wings fans as you head westward past Woodstock. Then of course, between Hamilton and Niagara, especially St. Catharines, I met a number of Sabres fans. They had a good following at a Jack Astor's we ate at a few times in that city.

Maybe it's some Sabres initiation ritual for that part of Ontario and he was a convert. :lol:
