Last night, Timothy Liljegren was on the receiving end of another dirty play by Brad Marchand.
He had to leave the game after Marchand put his stick between Liljegren's legs and made him fall awkwardly onto the boards.
Here's what happened:
After the incident, Tyler Bertuzzi received a lot of criticism for his reaction when Marchand was skating in front of the Leafs' bench.
