Sunday’s preseason game between the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Buffalo Sabres turned into a sideshow, as a line-brawl broke out after the very tall John Scott tried to fight the comparatively tiny but still feisty Phil Kessel. Instead of dropping mitts with Scott, Kessel used his hockey stick, taking a few two-handed swings at the Sabres enforcer as if Scott were a Mariano Rivera fastball.
Naturally, the Caps media asked former Maple Leaf and new Washington Capitals 2C Mikhail Grabovski his thoughts on Kessel’s handy-work.

Love the finish here.

For those who haven’t seen the fight, grab a seat and take a look. For those who saw it last night, watch it again. Let the chaos and violence sustain you until October 1st. Hockey = best.
