The Toronto Maple Leafs have fallen to the Boston Bruins in a 4-2 game tonight in game 3 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs round one at the ScotiaBank center. While the consensus answer is to be mad at the players, a Maple Leafs icon commentator has absolutely ripped into the fans present at the arena tonight for the Leafs first home game of the season.
In the aftermath of their humbling defeat to Brad Marchand and the Boston Bruins, Leafs commentator Joe Bowen brought himself to twitter where he publicly shamed the Leafs fans in the arena for their "dead crowd", tonight at the Scotiabank Center.
It has been a recurrent complaint for Leafs fans. The prices have been way to expensive in the lower bowl where the most noice is made. Most people attending the lower bowl seats are corporate workers who have either been gifted tickets or just use the event as a night out. The prices have been flat out ridiculous.
The Leafs atmosphere just doesn't compare to that of Winnipeg, Montreal, Vegas or Carolina, and it may cause the Leafs to exist early.
