Former Leafs Star Now Acknowledges The Fans' Frustration With The Team
Leafs fans have not had much to celebrate in the last two decades.
Countless disappointing seasons, numerous unforgettably embarrassing collapses, and star players letting the team and fans down alike.
Perhaps Toronto sports teams are simply destined to make their fans miserable as the Blue Jays seem to suffer from the same issues.
Joffery Lupul Discusses Toronto Sports Fandom
Former Leaf Joffery Lupul made a guest appearance on the Missin' Curfew podcast this week where he discussed just what it's like to be a sports fan in Toronto.
Lupul also talked about what it was like to go home after a disappointing loss in front of a packed home crowd.
He admitted that he often scorned Leafs fans for their displeasing encounters with players on the streets of Toronto but says he understands their point of view much more clearly now.
Lupul was referencing the Blue Jays' loss to the Minnesota Twins which eliminated them from postseason play before ever playing a game in Toronto.
Lupul, of course, is referencing a play where Guerrero Jr. was picked off on second base in a critical moment of the game.
The Jays had two runners in scoring position with two outs. The play ended the inning, ending any chance for the Jays to score.
