Toronto Maple Leafs forward Bobby McMann just came through for a super fan in a big way, and it's a gesture that might just make you cry.

Last night, the Toronto Maple Leafs took on the Vancouver Canucks and won by a score of 5-0 to increase their point streak to nine games.
However, one of the biggest stories from last night happened a few hours before puck drop, and it involves forward Bobby McMann.
The forward has been a stud for the Maple Leafs over the past few years, and there is no doubt that he is well-liked by the fanbase.
His latest gesture is going to make fans love him even more, which is good considering he has a contract negotiation coming up.

Bobby McMann is a man of the people

According to Elliotte Friedman, McMann walked into the Leafs game last night wearing a yellow safety vest and a Loblaws name tag on it.
Why? Because McMann used to visit and take photos with a man who used to work at Loblaws in Toronto. Unfortunately, the fan passed away this past week.
McMann wore the vest as a way to pay homage and show his support to someone who clearly loved the Maple Leafs organization.
It is the kind of gesture that will immediately make you a fan of a player, even if you might just be on the fence about them as a whole.
Clearly, McMann is a good guy, and he is someone that the Leafs fanbase should rally behind. Hopefully, he can be with the team for a long time.
In the meantime, our thoughts go out to the loved ones of the fan who passed away.
