We're sure there are a few in every fan base, but a Winnipeg Jets fan has posted a video of himself getting harassed by what appears to be some pretty drunk fans of the Toronto Maple Leafs . This happened at the game Wednesday night where the Jets beat the Leafs 4-3 in a shootout. In the video, you can clearly see the Winnipeg supporter getting poked, laughed at and having popcorn dumped on his head. Check it out:

While the post drew some typical responses, there were some of note. One was from "Dart Guy", a Maple Leafs fan who rose to fame in 2017 after he was spotted in the audience with face paint and a cigarette hanging from his mouth (he's since quite smoking, by the way). Dart Guy now works as a scout with the Collingwood Colts of the Ontario Junior Hockey League.
"Sorry this happened Furhan, being from Toronto I'm sure you know this behaviour isn't indicative of every Leafs Fan. Keep in touch and when The Jets come back next season perhaps I can take you to the game and show you what we are truly all about."

It also got a reponse from Leafs legend Doug Gilmour, who told the poster he was sorry and the behaviour was not indicative of every Leaf fan.
So sorry you experienced this Furhan. Definitly not typical of Leaf fans.— Doug Gilmour (@DougGilmour93) January 11, 2020
As the original poster states, trash talk is ok. These guys clearly crossed a line, though. Don't be those guys.
