Philadelphia: Last week was wild in the NHL. Two Maple Leafs fans got into a nasty situation in Philly after their team beat the Flyers. A video went viral showing the fans just chilling when a guy came charging at them, throwing punches. They handled it like champs, though, just brushing it off.
Fans from Philly were quick to distance themselves from the attacker, saying it’s embarrassing for the city. It’s a shame that sports can bring out such craziness, right?
Meanwhile, in Boston, Brad Marchand had a heated exchange with a local media guy. The reporter claimed the Bruins locker room was a mess and that star player David Pastrnak didn’t want to play with Marchand. Marchand didn’t take that lightly and went off, saying there’s no truth to it and calling out the reporter for spreading lies.
In other news, Marc-Andre Fleury returned to Vegas for what might be his last game there. The crowd gave him a standing ovation, and it was a pretty emotional moment for everyone involved. He’s been a big part of the franchise since the beginning.
On a more serious note, the suspect in the tragic deaths of Johnny Gaudreau and his brother pleaded not guilty. This case is still unfolding, and it’s heartbreaking for their family.
Lastly, some former Leafs players are in a legal battle with the Canada Revenue Agency over taxes on their signing bonuses. It’s a complicated mess, but they’re fighting for what they believe is right.
So, that’s the scoop from the NHL last week. Lots of drama, both on and off the ice!
