The rivalry between the Montreal Canadiens and the Ottawa Senators has been ongoing for years. Last Thursday, during a game at the Senators' home in Kanata, the hosts secured a decisive 6-2 victory over the Canadiens.
A noteworthy moment occurred when the Senators organization decided to broadcast images of Canadiens fans leaving the arena early, as their team was losing. This action, intended to mock the visiting fans, was met with mixed reactions.
Adding to the controversy, Tim Stutzle, a player often criticized by Senators fans for his on-ice antics, made comments in a post-game interview about enjoying seeing Canadiens fans leave before the end of the game. This interview was shared on social media and quickly sparked a backlash, prompting the Senators to remove the video.
