Yeah a response was earned obviously, but jumping him with gloved punches to the head for a second or two until the scrum tied everything up would have been the way to go for a guy who didn’t actually want to fight but felt he had to do something.
The cross check to the head is just weak and he’ll get suspended for his troubles.
Another legendary moment created in the battle of Ontario. Who was saying that the rivalry was dead and all of the those playoff loses are meaningless? Thankfully/hopefully it’s all been accessed again for everyone; we need some good rivalries, the kids need some games with bite.
We hate the Wings, we hate the Habs, and we hate the Leafs. This division is shaping up to be a doozy.
f***ing rights, what a fun game to watch.
