One of the feistiest series in the NHL playoffs so far without a doubt has been the Lightnings - Maple Leafs series.
Brayden Point suffered an injury after a nasty hit from from Morgan Reilly and did not return to the game.
In the after math of the hit, can you imagine that two superstars, two of the best players in the NHL got into an aggressive altercation? Emotions were running so high, that Auston Matthews and Steven Stamkos, guys who never drop the gloves, dropped them and started throwing haymakers at each other.
Even fans are starting to go at it. Leafs fans are accusing Tampa Bay of faking the Point injury. And now we have news that Point will be dressed and ready to go for game 4 tonight. Which adds additional fuel to the fire that Tampa Bay is playing a nasty psychological game.
On and off the ice tactics are a thing in the modern day NHL.
