Justin Bieber Sends Flowers To Auston Matthews And The Toronto Maple Leafs

Justin Bieber has once again evidenced that, no matter the celebrity status of anyone, Toronto’s love for hockey remains in a class of its own. Justin really showered his hometown team with the utmost affection by presenting a flower box to Auston Matthews and the Toronto Maple Leafs. SportsCenter aired the video, and people had opinions regarding it.

The arrangement was simple and profound, an old-school way of Bieber saying he’s always been passionate about the Leafs. Whether in courtside seats to the games or to ranting on social media, this time the gesture was a bit personal.

And they had feelings. Some chose the wholesome type, like Emily, who declared, “Love the support, Justin! Go Leafs Go!” with flower and hockey emoji. Others were sarcastic, like Jason Frakk: “Bieber’s ‘My Captain’ era is back. Wonder if Matthews will drop a pop album next.”

Muhammad Usama Ijaz kept it very simple: “Justin Bieber sends Leafs’ Auston Matthews sweet flowers.” Uh, b-i-g news? Meanwhile, for some, not so much. Ric Gooch exclaimed simply: “Another reason to hate Toronto.” That hurt a bit. Someone is definitely not in favor of this Biebs-Leafs alliance.

Sebastian nailed the big picture: “Justin Bieber showed his support for Auston Matthews and the Toronto Maple Leafs with a heartfelt gesture… highlights the strong bond between Canadian celebrities and their local sports heroes.” That’s the thing—Bieber is not just some random celeb hopping on a bandwagon. He’s been repping Toronto hard for years, whether it’s hockey or basketball or just shouting out the city in interviews.

Kapisch went one better and: “Onto the big win 🚀🚀.” Because, yeah, flowers are nice, but what the Leafs really need is a deep playoff run.

Maybe the gesture seems a little too diminutive in the world of sports, but hey! These small gestures often mean-a whole lot. Bieber knows how to raise a child’s morale or at the very least give a smile to her fans. The gesture does recall that even these global superstars proudly cherish their hometowns.

So, do the flowers really carry some luck for the Leafs? Who knows. One thing’s for sure: Bieber is nowhere near backing down when it comes to Toronto. And that is really kind of cool.
