It's evident that Toronto and Tampa Bay have developed quite the animosity after facing off twice in the opening round of the playoffs.
The rivalry has now escalated to the point where even a general manager is engaging in verbal spats with fans from the opposing team. The incident reportedly began after the Maple Leafs managed to level the score at 3-3 with just one minute left in the third period.
Although the Maple Leafs were dominated in overtime, Morgan Reilly secured the victory for Toronto with less than a minute remaining in the first extra period.
As for the Bruins, they'll likely be content watching the Leafs and Lightning wear each other down. If they can defeat the Panthers, they'll be facing the winner of this heated match-up in round two.
