Watch: Stamkos answers parade of boos with early goal vs. Maple Leafs

Brad Rempel-USA TODAY Sports / USA TODAY Sports

Toronto Maple Leafs fans didn't need another reason to boo Tampa Bay Lightning forward Steven Stamkos, but they got one.

The Lightning captain was serenaded with jeers from Maple Leafs fans, who were clearly still bitter that the former 60-goal scorer chose to re-sign with the Lightning instead of joining his hometown Leafs.

However, just over a minute into the game, following a Maple Leafs turnover, Stamkos beat Frederik Andersen on a nifty breakaway effort.

That's certainly one way to rub it in.
