Paul Bissonnette was pumped up after captain John Tavares assisted Morgan Rielly to tie the game for the Maple Leafs at 3-3 with under 10 seconds remaining in the final period.
It was a historic game for Tavares, as he became the newest member of the Maple Leafs club to accomplish 1,000 career points. Meanwhile, Paul Bissonnette couldn't hold up his contentment with the remarkable comeback orchestrated by the Leafs to tie the game.
Notably, Tavares spent nine seasons with the Islanders before joining the Leafs. Bissonnette was quick to jump to X and mock the Isles for blowing a 3-2 lead to their former player Tavares against the Maple Leafs.
"S**k on that Islanders. Johnny T just sh*v*d it right up your ass. Another blown lead by you bums. Keep booing you losers. No wonder he left your crusty asses. 1,000 points for El Capitan"
However, BizNasty had no idea what was to follow after his tweet. Bo Horvat scored the game-winning goal for the Islanders 46 seconds into overtime as Bissonnette's tweet backfired.
Fans were quick to react to Bissonnette's tweet, responding with trolling comments:
