The atmosphere was electric during Saturday's hockey game between the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Tampa Bay Lightning, with tensions running high on and off the ice. It all started when Morgan Rielly and Brayden Point collided, sending Point crashing into the boards, and igniting a brawl between players from both teams.

But the drama didn't end there. Video footage emerged that same evening of Leafs' general manager, Kyle Dubas, engaged in a heated verbal exchange with fans of the Tampa Bay Lightning. Witnesses have reported that during the altercation, Dubas repeatedly used profanity and told fans to "f*** off."

While some may view Dubas' outburst as a passionate response from a General Manager who felt he was being verbally attacked by multiple fans, the incident has caused some outrage. The layout of the arena, with fans being so close to the General Manager's box, may have contributed to the intensity of the exchange. Nonetheless, Dubas' behavior was unprofessional and a bad example for fans and players alike.

Despite the off-ice drama, the game was a thrilling one, with both teams displaying impressive skill and determination. While tensions may have run high, it's clear that both the Maple Leafs and the Lightning are passionate about their sport and dedicated to putting on a good show for their fans.
