We Now Know the People Behind the Hilarious Maple Leaf Troll Job
A couple of fans hellbent on trolling the Toronto Maple Leafs have finally been revealed. While the two really caught a lot of eyes last night as they were at Scotiabank Arena in Florida Panthers' sweaters, they've actually been doing it all season long.
Dani and Erv Di Gusto, a father-daughter duo, both live in Toronto. However, her father grew up a fan of watching Jean Béliveau and Guy Lafleur, while Dani was a goalie in high school and a big fan of Carey Price. So, they decided together that they would be Montreal Canadiens fans, but they would attend every Leafs game they could in away team sweaters as a way to bond and show their mutual dislike of Toronto.
Dani and Erv have season tickets to Toronto Maple Leafs games, and Dani said she now owns close to all 31 jerseys of other teams. The Panthers jersey she wore last night was purchased 10 minutes before puck drop between the Leafs and Panthers. Dani told the The Toronto Star she bought it at Sportchek in Maple Leaf Square. When Montreal came to town earlier in the season, Dani and her father coordinated outfits.
Their antics are starting to really gain traction on social media. Dani insists its all in good fun and provides some great bonding for a daughter and her father.
