Last night, game two of the Tampa Bay Lightning and Toronto Maple Leaf first-round series got rather intense as the game continued to get out of hand, with some fans even taunting Tampa Bay players in the box.
With 11:17 left in the third period and Tanner Jeannot in the box, a fan tries to get under his skin, and the announcer sounds off on their behaviour, take a look:
�You've got a fat woman who's yappin' like crazy'
Body shaming is never a good look, especially on live television, but this is ironic because Tampa Bay fans were outraged when Boston Bruins announcer Jack Edwards made a similar comment about forward Pat Maroon.
However, it seems there's a little less outrage this time, given that it's one of their own announcers and not that of a rival team. The irony is rich.
