Should the MapleLeafs' Nazem Kadri be suspended for cross-checking the Bruins’ Jake DeBrusk?
was the busiest man in Boston on Saturday night in what was a physical game against the Bruins, but he may have taken things too far.
After a fast-paced Game 1, the rough stuff between the Leafs and Bruins ratcheted up several notches in Game 2 and Kadri was in the middle of most of it. The Leafs’ lone goal-scorer of the night was warring with Bruins forwardall game — the two exchanged more than a few verbal and physical jabs over the course of 60 minutes — and Kadri even had an injury scare after a knee-on-knee collision with his sparring opponent.
But late in the third period with emotions starting to boil over, Kadri landed himself in hot water when he cross-checked DeBrusk in the face. The incident occurred with six minutes remaining in the game when Kadri took exception to DeBrusk’s hard hit on Patrick Marleau. Marleau was fine, jumping up immediately after contact, but Kadri’s retaliatory actions sent DeBrusk falling to the ice where he remained while a small scrum ensued.
