After issuing a clear warning to the Montreal Canadiens players after the last game, Ottawa Sens head coach D.J. Smith is putting his money where his mouth is.
He has decided to field a trio of tough guys for tonight's game against the Montreal Canadiens in Bouctouche, New Brunswick, also part of Kraft Hockeyville.
And he was proud of his special trio to "send a message to the CH players":
"We have a group that's going to be able to handle that aspect."
So the fourth trio will consist of Kastelic (beaten by Xhekaj), Watson (beaten by Xhekaj) and Sabourin (Xhekaj's next victim).
To be continued tonight!
Please also note that DJ Smith will not be playing Tim Stutzle tonight, he is protecting him.
