Glad this thread went the way it did, I worried it may be the same mindset as most of the Canadian (aka Toronto) networks that were saying how horrible and ridiculous it was pregame, Isles fans should be ashamed, etc..like cut it out, no-one tried to attack him or anything. It's pro sports, it's what happens when a star bolts in his prime, and it made for a fun atmosphere. The networks' Maple Leafs bias was showing big-time pre-game (though after the game they seemed to come around and admit it ended up being a fun atmosphere with creative chants)
