Lightning Defenseman Fires More Shots At The Toronto Maple Leafs

The Toronto Maple Leafs and the Tampa Bay Lightning will play against each other for the first time since their playoff clash last season.

A Lightning defenseman made a comment about the Leafs that fans in Toronto did not appreciate.

Sergachev's Comment on the Maple Leafs Causes a Stir

Last year, the Leafs were finally able to get past the first round, sending the Lightning home early in the previous season's playoffs.

For the past few years, the Lightning had eliminated the Leafs, but things finally took a turn.

Sergachev, who has scored only one assist in five games this season, didn't hesitate to remind the fans ahead of tonight's game.

The Rivalry is Building Up

The rivalry between the Leafs and the Bolts has grown a lot in the past few years. This isn't surprising, considering the number of times they've faced off in the playoffs.

Considered top teams in the Atlantic Division, both teams are likely to meet again in the playoffs for years to come.

Fans are getting excited about tonight's game!
