Keefe claps back at Joe Bowen's negative comments toward Leafs fans

Scotia Bank Arena has gotten a reputation that only suits attend the Leaf games, due to such a high ticket price. That reputation, tied with the Leafs' lack of success in the playoffs, could result in a low-energy crowd. After game 3 in Toronto, Joe Bowen took to social media to share his displeasure with Leaf fans and their lack of energy.

However, some are pushing back on Bowen and his assessment of the crowd's energy, saying that it was loud in the arena, and if it wasn't that is on the players' performance, not the crowd.

Now, Sheldon Keefe has weighed in on the debate, saying that it was definitely loud in the arena, as he had to shout the lines who were up next in order for his players to hear him.

Leaf fans have another opportunity to prove their worth on Saturday night, as the Leafs look to even up the series at 2 a piece before heading back to Boston.
