"Eat s*** 51st state anti-semite loser. Israel now and forever. Until ever (sic) last Hamas rat is eliminated,” read a post on the now-deleted X account to Cifu, the team's vice chairman and a longtime Palm Beach County resident.

The Toronto Maple Leafs will face the Florida Panthers in Game 4 of this NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs matchup on Sunday at Amerant Bank Arena.

Douglas Cifu, vice chairman, partner and alternate governor of the Panthers, appears to have made the comments while arguing with a fan.

The NHL suspended a minority owner of the Florida Panthers on Tuesday for his recent "unacceptable and inappropriate" posts on social media.

Depending on what happens in Game 5, the Panthers will enter Game 6 at Amerant Bank Arena on Friday either trying to punch their ticket to the Eastern Conference Final for the third consecutive season or trying to survive and force a decisive Game 7 back in Toronto. Either way, it’ll be a massive game.

After incurring a late penalty against the Florida Panthers Sunday, Toronto Maple Leafs left wing Max Domi will pay the price. Domi is being fined $5,000 by the NHL—the maximum allowable under the league's collective bargaining agreement—for his hit on Panthers center Aleksander Barkov in the closing seconds of Florida's 2–0 second-round Game 4 win.
