Nikita Zadorov made plenty of enemies in New York on Tuesday night, and after the game, he took to social media to call out Islanders fans.

The Boston Bruins and New York Islanders came together for a thrilling contest on Tuesday, and at the end of the day, it was the road team that came away with a dramatic 4-3 shootout victory.
That wasn't the most dramatic event in the game however, as there was a major scrum after Bruins veteran Nikita Zadorov took down star rookie Matthew Schaefer, with the entire Islanders team stepping up to defend their No. 1 overall draft pick.

Unsurprisingly, Islanders fans in the arena and at home were all furious with the situation, calling out Zadorov for taking down Schaefer in an unnecessary way, as they are obviously protective of their young star.
On top of all of that, plenty of fans took to private messages to call out Zadorov as well, and as a result, he posted a screenshot of all their messages, with this caption alongside it;
Get out of my DM's and go to the rink to cheer for your team. THAT PLACE WAS A LIBRARY TONIGHT.
Clearly, Zadorov took great joy in trolling New York fans after the Bruins came away winners in the game, knowing that he'd become enemy No. 1 for going after the incredibly exciting Schaefer.
Ultimately, the situation looked much worse than it actually was with Zadorov taking down the young, budding superstar, and after the fans got on him about it, the Bruins veteran was happy to troll the fans as he inspired his team to the much needed shootout victory.
