Every Player On The Ice Gets 10-Minute Misconduct In Sabres-Leafs Brawl

The Toronto Maple Leafs — and a helluva a lot of their fans — went south of the border for a date with the Buffalo Sabres on Saturday night and things got wild at the very end of the game.

The Sabres are effectively out of playoff contention while the Leafs are still in a position where they're trying to get the best matchup they can. Of course, it looks like they're doomed to face either the Bruins, Panthers, or Rangers so that's not exactly an easy choice.

The Maple Leafs cruised to a 3-0 win in this one with about as friendly a crowd as you will ever see for a road team in the NHL.

While the biggest moment of the game was Auston Matthews' 60th goal of the season, the most memorable moment will be what happened with just under a minute left in regulation.

There was a pileup in the corner of the Sabres' zone after Rasmus Dahlin leveled Toronto's TJ Brodie. That hit didn't sit well with the Leafs, but they were about to go on a powerplay.

However, Toronto defenseman and oldest player in the league, Mark Giordano came flying into the fray.

Cooler heads prevailed… until the animosity flared up again and everyone found a dance partner.

If you're wondering how the penalties shook out, the officials weren't playing around and weren't going to let a game that was effectively over get out of hand. 

Rasmus Dahlin was assessed the original minor penalty for boarding, while all ten skaters on the ice were handed 10-minute misconducts and sent to their respective dressing rooms.

That's certainly one way to handle it.

The game ended without incident — except a slashing penalty for Dylan Cozens at the 20-minute mark of the third (read: after the buzzer) — which goes to show that officials probably made the right call by dishing out misconduct.

Unfortunately, that's the last meeting between these two teams until next season.

However, once the next schedule comes out, both teams may have that next meeting circled.
