Chris Drew, a Twitter follower of MacFarlane’s, told Global News that he bought the flag from Real Sports and this morning, with the help of MacFarlane’s daughter and son-in-law, attached the flag to his crane.

On Saturday he attached a Maple Leafs flag to his crane and captured it flying above the city and over landmarks such as the Toronto Star building, the Hockey Hall of Fame and the newly constructed Trump tower.

Drew says it was a way of showing pride in Toronto and encouraging the Leafs ahead of the team’s Game 7 bout against the Boston Bruins Monday night.
