Most of the time fans are happy but feel bad for Tavares đ
Huh, thatâs a weird way to say âDear Johnâ.
Leaf fans donât be judging them cause u guys arenât any better like when u booed Gardiner
Classy islanders fans, this guy gave you everything for 9 years, you werenât good enough so he left, you booed a thank you video
Booooooooooooooooooooo
GO TAVARES
What you thought we were going to cheer?
Would be funny to see him score goals tonite
Unbelievable islanders fans suck
I mean him moving was a snake move but I think the crowd booing him after everything he did is disrespectful
Pjama Boy is back
Did he get booed
Imagine the boos when he wins a cup before the Isles
BOOOOOoooooooooo BOOOOooooo
Hope JT shoves it down their collective throats. But boos are fine. The fans are entitled to voice their displeasure.
Islanders fan are the biggest deadshits out there. You guys didn't even deserve him for those 9 years.
Only islander fans would boo a player that just wanted to go to play for his home team, and was basically the only reason they won a playoff series since 1993! What a bunch of losers with zero class they are. He left money on the table to play in Toronto, he could've been a Ranger, but he didn't want to go to any of the Islanders rivals. He's a class act that deserved much, much better then he was shown.
Listen: I am mad at JT and tbh we have every right to boo him. This game has been marked on everyoneâs calendar. But I hate how fans cheer âwe donât need youâ. Itâs completely disrespectful to what he put in for those 9 years. Also the fans shouldnât be throwing things at him. YES we are allowed to boo him, but assaulting him is wrong. And for all the Leafs fans that are going to find something rude to say towards me, donât you remember booing your own team and Jake Gardiner??? But anyways this is our game for redemption so just let us enjoy it
islander fans are a ***** disgrace.
Islander fans you beauties
Just for the booing, I hope the Islanders never win a cup again. Seriously, if this is how you treat your players, no wonder he left.
They boo cause he lied to the management about staying and they couldn't get anything for him
Tavares situation notwithstanding, the crowd in Long Island sang along to O Canada, so props to them for that.
Go leafs Go!!!!
BOOOOOOO!!!!! đ
What careless fans. I used to like the islanders because of their kind hearted fan Base but wow. What disrespect to a great player who made a choice to sign with a different team. How rude.
Imagine getting boo'd for exercising your right to sign elsewhere
How classless can a whole fan base be?
WOULD BE FUNNY IF WERE CRUSHING YOU OH WAIT WE ARE . WE DONT NEED YOU!
Ha to many to count comment
To all those that booed JT, think of the next superstar you might have.
ANYONE WHO IS TO STUPID TO UNDERSTAND THAT HE TOLD THE ISLANDERS HE WAS GOING TO SIGN WITH THEM BUT LEFT THATS WHY THEY BOO HIM OKAY LEAFS FANS AND ANYONE ELSE okay hope you all understand now
Call him a snake when your fanbase doesnât even come to games
I am so proud of my fellow isles fans
You retards don't realize why the Islanders fans are mad. They're mad because Tavares said he loved Long Island and wanted to be an Islander for life. Instead of saying he wanted to go back home he told the organization he wanted to stay and they couldn't trade him. Guess what they don't need him.
Leaf fans are just salty they got blown out twice by the Islanders
Whoâs your daddy?
Cmon islanders keep proving people wrong
TR91TOR
Maybe classless but they have the right to boo
Tavares the Vince McMahon of Long Island.
Whoâs your daddy
Snake.
đđđđ
Leafs are a disgusting heartless team!!
