We are just four months removed from John Tavares’ return to the Nassau Coliseum to take on the New York Islanders. That was one of the wildest atmosphere’s I’ve ever been a part of and probably the most intense nonplayoff game I’ve ever seen.
At the time, Maple Leafs fans were upset with how the Islanders fans reacted to Tavares. There were signs, “we don’t need you” chants, and so much more back on February 28 when JT took the ice at the Coliseum.
Yes, there were a few bad eggs who threw stuff on the ice, which isn’t acceptable, but for the most part, it stuck to just chants that were PG-13 at worst.
