Chaos Unleashes After Maple Leafs Defenseman Lays An Incredibly Dirty Hit
Last night's game between the Seattle Kraken and the Toronto Maple Leafs got intense after Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman Conor Timmins laid a dirty hit on Seattle Kraken forward Brandon Tanev.
Timmins Takes Tanev Hard Into The Board: Chaos Unleashes Between The Maple Leafs And The Kraken
Last night as Seattle Kraken forward Brandon Tanev was trying to retrieve a puck in the offensive zone, he took a nasty cross-check from Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman Conor Timmins which forced him to lose his footing. After crashing into the boards and thankfully being all right, Tanev popped up and went right after Timmins where everybody got involved.
Brandon Tanev was NOT pleased with Conor Timmins shoving him down near the boards.
This was about as dangerous as it gets by Conor Timmins on Brandon Tanev. He was right to go after him...
This is going to be a feisty game.
As a result of the play, Timmins got two minutes for cross-checking while Simon Beniot and Tanev both received matching roughing penalties.
Maple Leafs Defeat The Kraken During Tight Game
With the scrum between Tanev and Timmins happening early into the first, a precedent was set. Tanev followed this up by dropping the mitts with Jake McCabe sending both to the box for five minutes.
However, the Maple Leafs were able to get by Tanev's antics on the back of Auston Matthews' 38th goal of the season and a slick goal by Nick Robertson.
The Leafs wound up taking this game 3-1 and goaltender Ilya Samsonov was the player of the game for the Leafs.
