Toronto's ice time leader tonight? Nazem Kadri, at 23:05. I can't imagine he's ever led the team in ice time before.

The Phil is good.
The Phil is great.
We surrender our will as of this date.

Kessel's 2nd goal was ridiculous. What a snipe.
As for Kadri's hit that led to Lupul's goal, while it was certainly dangerous, if you watch closely, Ceci begins to turn towards Kadri ever so slightly. It looks to me like he saw Kadri coming and stopped turning thinking Kadri wouldn't hit him. He pretty much put himself in a vulnerable position. I don't think Kadri will see any supplementary discipline but it wouldn't completely surprise me if he did.

Wow, what a night by Kessel. As Phil the Thrill goes, so do the Leafs. Also, another great game by #43.
Whenever the Leafs win, we all feel good. Right now, with the Leafs position in the standings, the outlook for this team is beginning to reign with plenty of optimism again.
GO LEAFS GO!!!

It's the same joke from earlier isn't it?
I was just focused on potentially losing Kadri again to suspension. I didn't like the hit too much, Leaf fan or not.

Didn't watch the game but that Kadri hit didn't look good. What's everyone's thoughts on fines/suspensions? I'm betting the hit from behind earlier in the season comes into play.
I see the papers, and some on here jumped all over the Kadri hit. Once again, why did the press not jump on the hit on Gleason it was worse?. He even went off with a sore neck. Yet One of our guys has a bad hit and its front page news. It's looking like they are looking for the bad, instead of the good when reporting the Leafs.

No, a bad hit is a bad hit. All I am asking is why if its the Leafs doing the crime, is it getting pointed out so much more then if its the team doing it to us.
Ceci went back to continue playing, while Gleason went off with a possible neck injury, and you call the hit by Kadri worse??????
Opps, sorry I forgot you were one of the grammar police. I will try harder Boss (All messed up now that I made a error).

What I don't like is that Kadri must have known early on that Ceci had his back turned, yet he completed the check and finished it with some extra effort. That's at least boarding, and I can see a case for suspension. And with Kadri's recent history, it could be bad.
Here's what I mean. Here's Kadri about a full second before the hit. He has his hands up ready to make the hit; Ceci's back is already turned. At this point, this is going to be a hit from behind unless Ceci turns somehow:
And here's Kadri a few frames later, same thing: Ceci is still all numbers and hasn't moved an inch. He is not in motion and turning his back only at the last second, he's just standing there. Kadri is still lining up his hit anyway.
And then watch the video to see how hard Kadri dumps him anyway:

It's obviously boarding and should have been 2 minutes, that much is clear. But a suspension wouldn't surprise me, either.

That's a hard angle to judge it on because it makes it appear that he's going to hit him in the side of Ceci's hip not directly from behind.
