Justin and Hailey Bieber were in the building Sunday night at Scotiabank Arena, watching their hometown Toronto Maple Leafs fall 6-1 to the Florida Panthers in Game 7 of the second round.
The couple sat behind the bench and were caught on camera smiling, taking selfies, and cheering before the game took a turn.

Hailey wore a Leafs jacket, while Justin rocked a pretty unique outfit, donning sunglasses, an orange pullover, and a cream bucket hat.
“I don’t remember a time in my life when I haven’t been obsessed with the Leafs,” Justin wrote on Instagram. “This year we made it farther than we have in so long, and I’m happy about that. I can be patient cuz I know this is the team to do it.”
Toronto kept pace in the first period, but three Panthers goals in a six-minute second-period span deflated the crowd.
Fans booed before intermission and started leaving early in the third as Florida pulled away with goals by Brad Marchand, Anton Lundell, and Seth Jones were among the scorers in a dominant night for the defending champions.
“Let’s go, baby,” Justin was heard shouting in a video as Hailey walked into the arena.

Justin, however, ended up grabbing all attention on Sunday when he posted a photo from the rinkside, behind Marner, with a wild caption next to it.
