Elliotte Friedman

You know, Dursey got fined.

I thought he was fortunate.

They could have thrown him out of that game.

You know, if you even attempt to headbutt, it's a double minor.

And if you hit someone with it, it can be a major in-game misconduct.

And they gave him a break.

But the thing is, I expect that at this point of the year.

I expect these games to be mean.

I expect them to be nasty.

Even Carolina-Ottawa, which was not so much a fight-filled game or a scrummy game, every inch of the ice there was work.

They pounded each other, battling over the overtime, the regulation and the overtime.

So I don't think anybody expects it any different.

And it was exactly what I thought it was going to be.

I thought it was a great game, but the thing is, the only concern for Montreal is that I thought it was 5-on-5, especially their top line that got outplayed.

You can't expect Tampa to take all those ozone penalties all through the series.

Montreal is going to have to be better at 5-on-5.

I thought Hudson in particular was great.

So I think they're down to three or four guys.

I believe the Maple Leafs, I kind of talked about this earlier today on my regular radio hit in Toronto, Bob, and now I am even more concerned, I'm even more convinced about it.

They are involved in some level of misdirection.
