On Tuesday, in the Leafs' season opener, Sergei Bobrovsky made quite a splash.

In fact… he was making headlines even before the game started.

He took the ice before Gavin McKenna for warm-ups… and that caught everyone's attention because he stole the spotlight from the young player, who was supposed to make his rookie debut. The goaltender reflected on the events today.

Bobrovsky addressed the media, saying that… it was an accident.

He mentioned that he had completely forgotten that McKenna was going to have his moment in the spotlight… and that he didn't mean to do anything wrong.

 “I had completely forgotten. I hadn't thought about it. I had completely forgotten. No, I didn't do it on purpose. It happened by accident.” — Sergei Bobrovsky

Um…

There are two possible explanations here. Either he has the memory of a goldfish… or he was so focused that he forgot everything else.

It's up to you to pick a side…

As for me, it seems to me like he took the easy way out. After all, it's not like he went back to the reporters to admit it was his fault and take the blame: he went and said it was an accident… as if it wasn't his fault after all.

Oh well. At this point, too bad for the Leafs… who had to deal with yet another controversy in the very first game of their 2026–2027 season.

But hey. Leafs gonna Leafs, as they say…
