Yet another Leaf jersey hits the ice in Winnipeg
Jets dominant in 5-1 win over Toronto
The grand tradition of Toronto Maple Leafs fans throwing jerseys continued on Saturday.
In the late throes of an atrocious performance against the Jets in Winnipeg, a visiting Leafs fan decided to throw his hat in the ring by throwing his team jersey onto the ice at the MTS Centre.

—@originalsteelThe Jets played the Leafs off the ice in a dominating 5-1 victory.
This is at least the sixth time this season that a disgruntled Leafs fan has thrown a jersey on the ice during a poor performance by the team, and not even the first time it happened on the road – an angry fan in Buffalo earned that distinction in November.
The act elicited full-throated cheers from the Jets faithful in Winnipeg, and will likely spark another round of “will-they, won’t-they” salute-related stories which will continue into July and beyond.
