Sabres and Leafs Brawl (09/22/2013)

Last night the Leafs and Sabres had a brawl involving everyone on the ice including the goalies.  My personal opinion is that Phil Kessel is a coward and a prick for using his stick.  I would be happy to see him get suspended for the entire month of October and teach him a lesson.

As of today no suspensions have been handed down
