The Toronto Maple Leafs and Tampa Bay Lightning are showcasing some of the most thrilling games of the season. The two teams' heated rivalry stems from last year's playoff series and has continued into the current season, intensifying during the current playoff matchup.
The tension between the teams came to a head during the third period of Saturday's game. A heated exchange between Morgan Rielly and Brayden Point ignited a series of events that led to multiple players on the ice dropping their gloves. The bench area also erupted in chaos, as emotions ran high on both sides.
Amid the commotion, former Flyers defenseman Luke Schenn emerged as a vocal participant, taking shots at his opponents and delivering a chirp aimed at Patrick Maroon, and Tanner Jeannot of the Tampa Bay Lightning.
Jeannot: Schenner, we're going again!
Maroon:.We're gonna f-ing kill you [Schenn]
Schenn: Jeannot's f-ing irrelevant.
Hagel: Who?! He's irrelevant? Holy f-k, you f-ing stink. You f -ing stink at everything.
Schenn: "At least I'm worth the f-ing trade"
Schenn was referencing Tanner Jeannot when speaking about being worth the trade, who was traded to the Lightning in exchange for a massive haul of draft picks at the NHL's trade deadline.
