Fans Boo Leafs In Poor Performance Against the Kings
In last night's game, the Leafs didn't perform up to their abilities, and the fans at the Scotiabank Arena let them know.
Fans Boo Leafs as the Second Period Ends
Last night, the Leafs gave one of their poorer performances of the year, losing to the L.A. Kings 3-1 at home. The game came at the end of a long road trip, but that didn't earn the team any slack from fans. During a stretch at the end of the second period, the Leafs were hemmed in their own zone. Losing 3-0 and being unsuccessful in their attempts to break out, fans at the Scotiabank Arena had enough and were heard booing the team as they ended the period.

The Leafs were unable to get anything going in the third period, either, despite a goal from captain John Tavares. They ultimately lost the game 3-1.
After, Marner had comments on the fans booing, saying that it is important that the Leafs don't get focused on what's going on around them and stay on the task at hand.
Marner stresses the importance of the Leafs focusing on themselves amidst the boos tonight and says he thought the team actually did well in preventing the Kings from moving the puck to the middle of the ice during that shift at the end of the second period.
While the Leafs haven't been bad to start the year, this was definitely one of the worst games they have played thus far. The energy and passion just weren't there, as noted by podcaster Steve Dangle.
The Leafs have mostly been fine this season, even in losses. This game is the most disconnected, joyless, purposeless nonsense they've played in a long time. Sorry if you're in the building for this.
