Toronto was known as a team that was always in scrums and getting after guys and they never let their guard down and they stuck up for everyone.

That includes Anthony Stolarz earlier this season.

If that was the case and nothing happened with Austin Matthews, Dave, I think you're right.

I think you look at that introspectively and say, well, why am I... Did I do something?

Is it me?

But...

We have more than enough evidence now with this group that it's not necessarily about the individual.

It's about all the individuals within this group that, like, for some reason, it feels like all these things happen and it's muted and it's like this vanilla reaction, whereas if that happens on, I would say, just about every other team, like, there's something going down.

Remember last year?

The Buffalo Sabres, Alex Tuck got hit really hard.

I think it was Nason.

Nason hit him right at the blue line.

It was a big hit.

And no one did anything.

And that was a big issue in Buffalo.

And now you look at the Sabres, Darlene's getting cross-checked.

He's fighting.

There's a lot of...

There's been like a galvanizing moment within that Buffalo Sabres group where you look at it and say, they're not looking back anymore.

Toronto never had that, like, we're not looking back anymore galvanizing moment.
