The Vancouver Canucks had a tough game on Saturday, falling to the Leafs 6-3. The matchup was chalked full of fights, dirty hits and smack talk.
Canucks defenseman Erik Gudbranson took exception to Leafs forward Matt Martin’s antics. Martin chirped at Derek Dorsett after the latter chose not to fight, instead, going against Leo Komarov. Later in the game, Martin jumped rookie Troy Stecher and tussled with multiple Canucks. It was ugly.
Gudbranson told reporters after the game Martin “is dead,” and wisely wasn’t made available for comment.
Gudbranson as he walked into #Canucks room told those in earshot that Martin is dead. Gudbranson is not being made available to media.

It’s safe to say there’s a lot of bad blood between the Nucks’ and Leafs.
