In what was a spirited affair, the Canadiens simply proved to be the better team tonight. Helped greatly by the goal tending of back-up goalie Jaraslav Halak, who stopped 30 of the Leafs 32 shots. The Habs beat the Leafs handily at home by a final of 6-2.
Brad May highlighted his Toronto debut by pairing of with Montreal defenseman Francis Bullion about halfway through the second 2 seconds after Jamal Mayers got into it with Tom Kostopoulos( Kostopoulos should have gotten an extra minor for being such a punching bag ).
It will be interesting to see whether or not Grabovski will face a suspension after he shoved a linesmen and kicked his helmet after the linesman fell on top of Grabovski after a melee at 18:07 of the third period.
There is a rumor going round that Kaberle is disgruntled and has all but asked for a trade. To the point that he was quoted as saying that if he wasn't wanted any more, then maybe he would be willing to talk trade. I would be all for a trade involving Kaberle, he simply isn't flourishing under the new system which in un-fortunate because until this year he has pretty much been the best defencman on the team for a number of years. I'm thinking Kaberle and Toskala to the Senators for Spezza and a first round pick in 2010.
The Leafs next action comes Saturday in Phili, and as always you can hear all the action, right here, on Bench Brawl!
