LATEST | Luke Schenn takes Pat Maroon for a dance and sends him to bed
The Tampa Bay Lightning and the Toronto Maple Leafs were in for a wild ride as they have a preview of the heated first playoff round we're about to get.
It's already confirmed that the Leafs will encounter the Lightning in this year's playoff and the preview they gave tonight can only bring up the excitement. The Canucks traded away a fan-favorite in Luke Schenn, and the Leafs got exactly what they asked for. The veteran D-man was fantastic in tonight's heavily disputed win in which he managed a goal and a fight.
Schenn delivered a hard hit in the corner and he and his former teammates got going, let it be reminded that Pat Maroon is known to be a tough customer, as he weighs in at 237 and is 6'3'' high. Here's the hit that started it:
The play kept going, but the two wanted more and Schenn didn't even let Maroon lend a shot as he absolutely corrected him.
Not only was he a tone-setter with a spirited tilt, but Luke Schenn came up really big when he scored a goal early in the game.
Luke Schenn has proven to be a really hard opponent to play against, he's also proven to be a heck of a leader with the Canucks but also with the Leafs. The Canucks are in a tough spot salary cap-wise, but Schenn has already pointed out that he loved Vancouver and so does his family. Should the Canucks look to reunite with the beloved veteran when comes free-agency?
