Preseason got feisty in Toronto last night when the Leafs and Sabres hit the ice, we’re talking full line brawl. Resident Buffalo tough guy John Scott who rings in at 6’8 dropped his gloves looking to engage Leafs not so tough guy Phil Kessel. The insanity just kept coming, including a not so often seen goalie fight.

Newest Leaf David Clarkson managed to leave the bench in an attempt to aid Kessel. While the gesture was to assist a teammate, it’s a big no-no in the NHL (just look at Coyotes’ Paul Bissonnette’s mistake last week). Clarkson will be looking at a 10 game regular-season suspension. Not the best way to start a season for the widely discussed free-agent summer signing.

It’s only preseason, so we can only imagine what type of antics will hit the ice when these two teams face each other in the coming months.

Winter was hooked on hockey by age 6, when she first witnessed a bench clearing brawl between the Boston Bruins and the Ottawa Senators. Growing from hockey fan to hockey player, Winter followed her passions by founding The Pink Puck. While she also loves fashion and the outdoors, hockey will always be her center ice.
