BREAKING: Maple Leafs Pierre Engvall has been SUSPENDED! - Did NHLPA get this right?
When you think of physical or even dirty players, you dont think of legit anyone on the Toronto Maple Leafs, but especially not Pierre Engvall.
While he is built like a fighter, standing at 6'5 and 220lb, he doesn't throw that weight around like you'd hope. Which is what surprises people last night when he committed such a violent act.
Before this happened, Engvall and Durzi were engaged in a little spat and it continued until Envgall lost his temper.
You will see in the video, as Durzi turns, Engvall swings his stick down and gets him right in the back of the head.
Durzi drops to the ice hard, but gets up quickly to go after Engvall.
