Justin Bieber might need a lesson in “know your audience” … ’cause fans booed the hell out of the singer during his tour stop in Montreal on Tuesday for dissing the hometown Canadiens.
Bieber — a MASSIVE fan of the Habs’ hated rivals, the Toronto Maple Leafs — showed love for his team right before his final song of the night … saying, “How about those Leafs though, huh?”
The “Ghost” crooner even gave a shoutout to his close buddy for scoring a goal against the Canadiens on Saturday … saying, “Auston Matthews is really doing some work here in Montreal.”

Of course, the Canadiens are hot garbage this season … sitting at the very bottom of the standings with an 18-38 record, despite beating the Leafs over the weekend.
Biebs made sure to let the crowd know he was well aware of their struggles this season … adding, “How’s that playoff spot looking for you guys this year?” and “Maybe next year, maybe next year.”
The fans weren’t having it — letting the boo birds fly and even shouting expletives as Bieber continued to diss the hometown team … even starting a “Go Leafs, Go” chant.
The stunt comes one week after the Leafs debuted their Bieber-designed Drew House jerseys … which they wore on the ice for their Next Gen game.

Bieber eventually got real and stopped the trolling … saying Montreal is truly one of his favorite places to perform in the world.
Hey, ya gotta give the guy credit — he’s a diehard fan, no matter what territory he’s in.
