John Tavares wasn’t treated so kindly by Islanders fans in his return against his former team, but the Maple Leafs’ faithful made sure he knew he was embraced by Toronto with a massive standing ovation.

Way to go Leaf Nation , keep it up.
Pajama Boy needs his Toronto safe space.
76 spineless Islanders fans downliked this video.
As much as hate the leafs. There more classy than the isles. The isles should focus on were their new arena is gonna be. The islanders don’t have a good home kinda like their fans
We don’t need you
I’m more embarrassed for leaf fans today than I ever have been, he’s a grown ass man whose making 11 million dollars ! Pajama Boyyyy
Ohhhh pooor baby
Give it 6-8 years and Austin Matthew's will do what Tavares did. Play for his dream team in his hometown.
What a baby tavares
The cringe is real
Tavares and the Leafs suck!
Screw the islanders
This is flat out the softest thing I've seen in the NHL in a long time.
When the leafs are so triggered by the isles fans they do this, funny how toronto likes to claim the isles fan base is trash yet we all know what happened with others like kessel…
Isles fans:we don’t need u
Leaf fans:if u don’t need Tavares why take it so hard he never wanted to play for u
Isles fan here. Was at the game on the 28th and it was very very brutal to Tavares. The tv clips don’t really capture it. What the isles fans did was fine. What the leafs fans did here was fine. A playoff series between the two would be epic.
Nice to see him welcome back home… yes he's a professional athlete but like he's also human and has feelings and having like 15K people chanting and cursing you out all game over them being so salty… he deserves this from Toronto. I'm no leaf fan but this is where he belongs… where the franchise will love him no matter if he finishes with them or gets traded in years time. But welcome home JT.
0:14 marner with the stick taps probably loving the moment himself. Met him at a signing, long day for him and still took the time to look me in the eye when we spoke .. kid shows respect and loves being in Toronto .. no chance a deal isn’t made. Go leafs go
That’s cute lol
This is nice of Leafs fans to do!! A class act, Toronto, props!! 👏👏👏👏
Soft
April 1st 2019… Hometown Hero with the game winner..Eat it N.y
Just wait till the isles visit Air Canada Centre then theMaple Leaves fans will scold the very few isles fans
Idk what the song is in the background but its so good and I cant find it
Bruins beating the leafs in the playoffs every spring :awesome , Tavares watching the Islanders win the Stanley Cup :Priceless
Disgustingly soft.
What song is that
What name of the song playing ?
Baby
TR91TOR
🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍
Lmao what a bunch of kiss asses. Wait until he abandons Toronto. Once a disserter, always one. Youll see.
A year later and they hate him too
Islander fans should be ashamed of there selfs
Your “ Home” JT!!……… LeafNation loves you!!!😎👌👍❤️🍁🇨🇦🌟
These are fans
Just watched my Isles shutout the Flyers. Thank you Captain Pajamas.
Yeah wait till he stabs you guys in the back too
Loosers
Sad how much the isles have improved since 91 left guy drug the team thru the muck for too long- one happy isles fan
Haha take that islanders fans Toronto fans are better
Fast forward a few years and Leafs fans are literally burning Marner jerseys after the playoffs. You stay “classy” Toronto.
Softest thing I’ve ever seen in my life
The first twelve thousand fans will receive a jock strap worn by John Tavares suitable for sniffing !!!
Love Johnny Boy I hope he feels better after that knee to the head from Cory Perry. Let's go isles.
Million Dollar💲 Question:
Who else burned 🔥 their tavares jersey After he went to Toronto
Cry
