A Leafs defenseman laid the boom on Logan Mailloux and chaos followed the dangerous hit.

Liljegren Levels Mailloux

Late in the second period between the Montreal Canadiens and the Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman Timothy Liljegren stepped up and took a shot at Logan Mailloux that knocked him to his knees.

Liljegren's hit started the heat

Liljegren is not known for his physicality so to see him knock down a big guy like Mailloux is either a product of Liljegren wanting to start something or a poor play from Mailloux where he was skating with his head down.

The Chaos That Followed

Following the hit, everything went unchained and there was a mass of players going after each other.

Robertson and Xhekaj are next

Domi to Xhekaj: F--k off

LOL McCabe's laugh right after the hit

Unfortunately, Ryan Reaves was not on the ice because if he was then we could have seen a good old-fashioned hockey fight between Reaves and Arber Xhekaj who was on the ice.
