Tonight it seemed as though Habs defenseman Logan Mailloux didn't keep his guard up as none of those physical players were bearing down on him. As he attempted to bring the puck into the Leafs zone though he was greeted with a huge hit from Liljegren and Mailloux was not particularly happy about it.
From that point on, the game got quite chippy as several players with reputations for being physical got involved.
Needless to say, the Leafs-Habs rivalry is back with a vengeance this year.
