For NHL defenseman Marc Methot, he has seen some crazy stuff over his tenure in the NHL, but now that he's retired he does a Podcast show with TSN's reporter Brent Wallace called the Wally and Methot Podcast.
The Wally and Methot Show, a hockey podcast that features him and Brent Wallace. A recent "hot take" caused Methot to catch a lot of flack from fans of the Toronto Maple Leafs, and some messages he posted on Saturday show. They didn't hold back at all, going as far as to challenge him to a fight.
Leaf fans really gave Methot some hate when Methot gave his take on the situation between Boston's Taylor Hall and Toronto's Ilya Lyubushkin, where Hall appeared to sucker punch Lyubushkin in the side of the head. Marc Methot felt Lyubushkin went down to easy saying,
Methot took al ot of hate from Leafs fans to which he replied saying:
"So, to me, in that play, Lyubushkin's a chickenshit, and obviously all the fanboy media members, and all the fans - we all know the ones that have their Auston Matthews picture avatars on Twitter - all the little minions are going to come out and defend him," said Methot."
Apparently this didn't sit well with some Leaf fans. On Saturday, Methot said he decided to check his messages on Instagram, which he rarely does, and posted screenshots of a couple of them.
Every fan base has fans like this but wow those are some savage messages. Some hockey fans take things a little seriously don't ya think?
