Wild situation involving Lightning winger Tanner Jeannot leads to a Leafs fan being kicked out of Scotiabank Arena
Last night's Leafs/Lightning game had a bit of everything! There were plenty of goals for the home team, some big hits and even a trio of fights that led to several ejections. One of the players involved in a fight last night, Tampa's Tanner Jeannot, was actually escorted to the penalty box by the officials after scrapping with Leafs defenseman Luke Schenn in the third period, but the fun didn't end there for Jeannot.
As Jeannot sat in the box following his fight with Schenn, an unruly Leaf fan actually began to scale the glass surrounding the penalty box shouting obscenities at Jeannot, gesturing at him in a threatening manor. It's tough to really ascertain what the fan's true intentions were, but there are plenty of folks on social media who believe the fan intended to try to fight the Bolts winger.
Does this sound familiar? Well, it should, because a similar incident took place back in the early 2000's, when a Philadelphia Flyers fan actually climbed the glass and fell into the penalty box with Leafs Enforcer Tie Domi.
At any rate, nothing happened this time around, as the fan who climbed the glass last night at Scotiabank Arena was intercepted by security and ejected from the building. It wasn't the only dust up between fans and players last night though, as Pat Maroon actually tried to spear a Leafs fan through a gap in the glass. What a wild series this is shaping up to be!
