Selected as the first star of Tuesday’s game in Toronto, Fredrik Claesson stepped on to the ice and raised both arms straight up in the air — the same pose he strikes after scoring a goal.
He didn’t even notice that a Maple Leafs fan had thrown a drink cup that landed just behind him.
“I heard a lot of booooos,” Claesson said with a grin on Wednesday morning. “I just loved it, so I held (the pose) a little longer.”
Claesson had a goal and an assist in the 5-2 pre-season victory, the Senators’ second in two nights over their provincial rivals.
