Nazem Kadri has never been known for his clean play, but his questionable hit on Canucks' Daniel Sedin late in Saturday night's game drew both a charging penalty and the ire of many hockey fans.
Kadri came across the ice at the 6:42 mark of the closing period and took out Sedin with a high shoulder mere moments before the Vancouver forward scored his team's third goal of the game.
Sedin dropped to the ice and covered his head after the hit, but told reporters after the game that he was uninjured.

Fans were initially not impressed by the call, citing Kadri's history of suspensions and the nature of the hit as deserving of higher discipline.
Nazem Kadri actually has three previous suspensions from @NHLPlayerSafety -- my mistake.

don't call Kadri's penalty charging. Call it what it is. A headshot. Put it on his record for all to see. And let league act accordingly

I have no love for the Sedins but Kadri deserves a good suspension for that hit

Shortly after, a boxing match broke out at the hockey game as players from both sides took out their frustrations, including goaltenders Frederik Andersen and Ryan Miller.

Fighting penalties were handed out to five players from each team, while Leafs' rookie sensations Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner were finding other ways to pass the time.

Andersen and Miller were both ejected for the tilt, bringing in backups Jonas Enroth and Jacob Markstrom.
Good game by Jonas Enroth, he got himself a shutty.... 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 #TMLtalk #Leafs

When the dust settled, it was the Leafs that came away with a 6-3 win, extending their streak to three and handing Vancouver their eighth straight loss after starting the season 4-0.
