Video: Leafs' Komisarek sends Sens' Lessard into bench on collision
In the first period of an exhibition game against the Ottawa Senators on Wednesday, Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman Mike Komisarek(notes) was playing the puck when winger Francis Lessard(notes) attempting to finish a check on him. Instead, Komisarek laid him at the delicate feet of Pierre McGuire on a memorable hit:
Being dumped between the benches on national television and then getting chirped by Colton Orr(notes) is a special level of hockey indignity. Don't these ingrates know that Francis Lessard played 62 games with the 2003-04 Atlanta Thrashers?!
The Leafs defeated the Senators, 4-1. Cody Bass(notes) and Komisarek scrapped at the end of regulation. The Battle of Ontario knows no preseason!
