You stay classy, Toronto!
A bevy of Toronto Maple Leafs fans took to social media to complain that the penalty to defenseman Jake Muzzin for his dirty slew-foot of forward Anthony Mantha that resulted in the latter smacking his head on the ice cost their team a shutout victory.
Warning – massive hills of salt ahead:
