It started in the opening minutes of Saturday’s game after Charlie McAvoy knocked Mitch Marner down in the corner. The hits and jests from the Boston Bruins continued with Chris Wagner finishing a check on Andreas Johnsson. Then the game flew off the rails:
Kadri fought Brandon Carlo, Hyman hit McAvoy and shortly after fought Matt Grzelcvk in response, and Wagner threw a couple with Ron Hainsey after his hit on Morgan Rielly.
The Leafs dropped the game 6-3 and many have jumped at the chance to share their opinions on why they had difficulty defeating a Boston without Patrice Bergeron and Zdeno Chara.
