For the first time in almost two decades, the Toronto Maple Leafs are advancing to the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, sending their passionate fan base into a frenzy on Saturday night. As the game ended, jubilant supporters flooded into the downtown streets, bringing traffic to a standstill and causing significant delays to public transit, including buses and streetcars.
Unfortunately, one fan's exuberance went too far, resulting in his arrest by Toronto Police. Reports indicate that the man was taken into custody for public intoxication and for slapping a police horse on its hind legs.
Despite this unfortunate incident, the Maple Leafs faithful remain excited for what lies ahead. The team will begin their second-round series against the Florida Panthers on Tuesday night at Scotiabank Arena. Fans are eager to see their beloved team continue their journey towards the ultimate prize in professional hockey, the Stanley Cup.
