Nothing defines the humourlessness and pettiness of Leaf fans better than their butt ache over that incident. Love it.

Especially since Alfredsson and Sundin are close friends IIRC. This "incident" was simply Alfredsson having some fun at his friend's expense and probably was not at all seen as an insult.

The preferred debate method of Leaf Nation is to shout at whatever they don't like until they can't hear it anymore.


And then hold a pre-game puck drop ceremony to commemorate whatever they shouted.

I remember an interview where Sundin was asked about that and he thought it was hilarious

I've never heard this incident mentioned outside of the media and the internet

HNIC brought it up this season when talking about why Leaf fans booed Alfie, and they thought many were too young to know.

Behind you, look out
I can slightly understand the Tucker thing, even though the Leafs management bought out his contract, imaging if someone hurt Cheechoo or Butler. Would we care? Nope.

But the stick throw mock is just silly. Alfie and Sundin are friends outside of hockey. Clearly he was mocking his friend.

It is like if two kids are playing and one teases the other. The other kid thinks it's funny but all the helicopter moms hear it and flip the **** out for years after.

Leaf fan coming in peace. I can tell you guys that Leaf fans don't really care about the stick throwing incident. For me, all my hate comes from the hit on Tucker and consequent goal. And a grudging respect. That's all, I'll get out now
