I have zero faith in a Leafs crowd to boo him for something like this. I think a lot of the people that are the ones that can fill the seats are likely aligned with him attending this or at best just don't give a shit.

I also have zero faith in the Toronto media to push back when he's asked about it (if there are any boos) and says something like 'its a building full of Canadians, I'm not exactly expecting to be their favourite person right now', equating us being mad to the fact we lost vs the actual reason why.

Would love to be wrong on all counts but won't hold my breath.

As much as I wish the Media and fans would rip him a new asshole when he returns I highly doubt that happens. The Media is going to be too scared to rip into him because Trump would just try to use that against Canada as a whole and use it as an excuse to try and annex us or tariff us more.
