In the playoffs, each individual matchup and each individual battle is important. That’s why I’m bringing you this crucial footage of Toronto Maple Leafs forward Leo Komarov and Washington Capitals veteran Justin Williams irritating each other during a second-period faceoff.

Watch how Williams sneaks up behind Komarov and knocks the Leafs forward’s helmet over his eyes.
Williams’ sassy reaction to the referee is priceless. What are you yelling at me for, I didn’t do anything!
After the puck was dropped, the two forwards tripped each other because how else could a stupid confrontation like this end? With no one getting an advantage of course.
Komarov, a noted pest, even got under Alex Ovechkin’s skin during a first-period play in front of the net. Despite being former teammates in the KHL, Komarov is willing to irritate anyone and everyone.
