The Maple Leafs lost 5-2 to the Buffalo Sabres at yesterday’s outdoor game in Hamilton. After a slow start with the teams getting accustomed to the light snow fall, the Sabres really raised the pressure and the Leafs couldn’t respond. Here’s a link to our full recap and chat about the game:
Much of the fight appeared to be sapped from the Leafs when T.J. Brodie accidentally deflected the puck past Mrázek into his own net.
Speaking of fight, that brings us to Auston Matthews, who got into a cross-checking battle with Rasmus Dahlin during gameplay right in front of, and at one point literally inside of the Sabres net.
