Leafs are another team that I wouldn't be surprised, all of their leaders on the team itself have been supportive and so is Treliving, pretty sure Shanahan has attended Toronto's Pride.


Plus last year when all the controversy started, they played in Columbus on the CBJ's Hockey Is For Everyone night and at least half the Leafs, including Tavares and all the alternate captains, plus Giordano and a few others, used Pride Tape in warm-ups (Marner and I think someone else left it on the grip of their stick for the game too, if I recall correctly)


As the visiting team, in the midst of a controversy over Pride support, they were deliberate in their show of support, so yeah, Leafs wouldn't shock me. Neither would the Flames, honestly.
