Toronto Maple Leafs announcer Joe Bowen has slammed the home crowd for the Game 3 of the team’s series against the Boston Bruins, saying it was “very disappointing.”
Bowen took to social media Wednesday night to call out what he thought were low-energy fans in Scotiabank Arena.
“The idea of going to any sporting event to support the team is to be PRO ACTIVE!” Bowen wrote.
“Give the team energy when they need it. Not sitting down waiting to be REACTIVE. The players can’t say it, but I will: tonight’s crowd was VERY DISAPPOINTING.”
