On Saturday night, the Toronto Maple Leafs faced off against the New York Rangers. This hotly contested matchup between two of the Eastern conference best teams was highly anticipated and did not disappoint. The Maple Leafs would go on to win the game in a shootout.
Even two days later fans are still talking about this game and specifically the incident between Ilya Lyubushkin and rookie sensation Matt Rempe. During the second period Rempe delivered a hard hit to Lyubushkin that sent the defender hard into the boards. While the hit itself wasn't as dirty as some we've seen this season, Rempe does leave his feet before delivering the hit.
