Justin Bieber taunted Habs fans with a Maple Leafs joke, conveniently forgetting last year’s playoffs
It was 3-1, Justin!
Justin Bieber, like all Toronto Maple Leafs fans, has seemingly forgotten the 2021 Stanley Cup playoffs.
During Bieber’s Tuesday night concert at the Bell Centre in Montreal, the pop star — and Maple Leafs super fan — taunted the home Canadiens crowd with a jab at how well Toronto’s played this season. Entering the final month of the 2021-22 season, the Maple Leafs are 42-19-5 and are locked in to a playoff spot. Meanwhile, just months removed from a Stanley Cup Final, the Canadiens are the second-worst team in the NHL with a 18-38-11 record.
And Bieber let Montreal know it.
“What’s up, Montreal, I’ve had a great night with you guys tonight,” Bieber said. “But how about them Leafs though, huh?”
The jabs continued!
“Auston Matthews is really doing some work here in Montreal,” Bieber said. “So, uh, how’s that playoff spot looking for you guys this year?”
Bieber ended his taunts with a “Go Leafs Go” chant, despite the boos and the counter “Go Habs Go” chants from the crowd.
Of course, Bieber is forgetting one key thing here. The last time the Maple Leafs played in a game of any significance, they blew a 3-1 series lead and lost in Game 7 to the Canadiens last year in an embarrassing playoff exit.
I’m just saying, people who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones!
